Chapter 11 This is not my limit
Lincoln High School, where Tommy Hawke attended, was a public high school established by the Rhode Island government during the so-called baby boom period in the 1960s. It shares the name of Lincoln, the greatest president of the United States, with thousands of schools across the United States. Lincoln Public High School is one of those garbage schools that deserves to be named after the president.
Although the ranking is rubbish, the school's hardware facilities are not bad. On the contrary, it looks like everything is available, covering an area of 70 acres, with a gymnasium, swimming pool and even a campus theater. The school guides and encourages students to set up drama, art, chorus Group, photography, cheerleading, guitar, school newspaper, robotics club, moot court and even Dungeons and Dragons Club and many other diverse interest groups.
Sports include baseball, basketball, hockey, gymnastics, ice hockey, football, softball, swimming, volleyball, and even American wrestling. Last year, a table tennis team was established, but the results were not good. The best sports performance is the state The quarterfinals of the inner high school competition.
The original intention of the school to encourage the diversity of students is good, but the reality is cruel. The entire high school has been established for more than 20 years, and the famous alumni memorial wall in the honor exhibition room is still blank.
The school has no well-known alumni, which is a symbol of a garbage school. Lincoln High School has been established for more than 20 years, dozens of clubs, and more than 10,000 graduates have not given birth to even one memorable alumni. According to the speculation of the school newspaper this year, the most recent Well-known alumni who may appear on the wall will probably be three years later.
That is an ice hockey student who graduated last year and was admitted to Providence College. If he performs as well as before and has no injuries, he should be able to participate in the draft of the ice hockey league after graduating from college, and he is likely to be selected in the first round. Picked, and by then Lincoln High might be able to brag about it with a picture of him on its wall.
There are more than 500 students in the four grades of the school. Tommy Hawke is in the eleventh grade. According to his own calculations, if he persists for two days at most, he should have completed the credits required for graduation. There is no need to waste time in some invalid courses every day.
As soon as Tommy parked his bicycle in the parking lot, two high school friends walked over to say hello: "Hey, Tommy!"
"Hey, Dennis, hey, Pam!" Tommy Hawke, carrying a shoulder bag with lunch, greeted the two.
Lincoln High School does not have the concept of class, only the concept of grade, and even the concept of grade is very weak, so the concept in China that students are always in the same class when entering school will not appear here.
Maybe in a chemistry experiment class, you are surrounded by a group of classmates, and in the next drama performance class, you may change to another group of people. The advantage of this is that the scope of communication in the school will be very wide. When you meet the same classmate, it probably means that you have the same interests and it is easier to become friends.
Dennis and Pam are friends of Tommy Hawke, or in other words, they are the high school buddies of the trash Tommy who was not reborn before.
"Thanks to your answers, Pam and I got an A on our math homework last week, and that's for you." Dennis handed Tommy a Gatorade. You prepared another thank you gift, originally intended to reward yourself and Pam, but the plan changed, and now it is yours."
While talking, Dennis lowered his voice, took out a black card from his pocket and said as a gift: "Heaven, the day card of the Paradise Club."
Tommy didn't pick it up: "Man, you know I haven't been interested in these lately."
Paradise Club is a **** in Providence, the dream sanctuary of countless high school boys. In order to get in and see the world, they have thought of countless ways.
Day card is an unlimited ticket for the club on the day.
"What? Brother, what's wrong with your brain? This thing sells for fifteen dollars, a day pass that allows you to enter and exit the club at will within the day, and you can have a good time in it! It's just like its name, yes Heaven!" Hearing that Tommy wasn't interested, Dennis twirled his temple twice with his finger: "No man would be uninterested in this unless you're a **** gay."
"I'm not gay, but for me now, heaven is best a university." Tommy Hawke said with a smile.
Dennis looked around, carefully stuffed the black card into Tommy's hands, and asked righteously: "If I hadn't found the most important life goal before graduation, I want to achieve it today, and you let my homework get A, I won’t give it to you, go and see it, you have changed in the past two months, where is that Tommy who exchanges magazine ideas with us all day long! Brother, you have fallen! You want to find Go back to the original self and think about one question, what did you grow up for, is it for the **** university? No! It's for the beautiful girls!"
Pam reminded intimately: "Remember to give the password to the white security guard at the door, and ignore the black security guard. If the password is correct, he will not check your ID card. When he asks if you are an adult, what you have to do is not give Instead of ID, say the code, Bruce on Hill Street, and he'll let you in."
"OK, OK, thank you, I'll go see it." Tommy took it, shook it, walked towards the teaching building with the two, and smiled as he walked: "So, I didn't come to school yesterday, what's the matter?" News?"
"Of course, I spent five hours with Pam yesterday, and I did something big, buddy, the highlight moment with Pam is coming soon!" Dennis, with a porcupine hair, opened the locker in the hallway and threw his schoolbag into it. , said in a mysteriously low voice.
"That's right, it is definitely a major event that can be included in the school's history, Tommy." Pam whispered with a little excitement beside her.
This got Tommy interested. He knew two buddies. Dennis liked to exaggerate, but Pam was a typical nerd and rarely talked about it.
This guy is a little thin, with disheveled hair, wears myopia glasses as thick as a dictionary, and is taciturn. Most of the time, Dennis or Tommy acts as his spokesperson. Looking at his appearance, he looks like the kind of person who is outstanding in his studies. A genius who is not good at communication, but in fact, this guy is extremely capable, but he is an out-and-out scumbag. Now the eleventh grade and seventh grade writing questions are very difficult for him. His plans for the future It was going to a community college to study cooking and become a chef, on the grounds that it would be easier to strike up pretty waitresses then.
To be honest, Tommy has been worried that if the temperature of the kitchen fogs up the lenses, Pam, who is blind without glasses, will appear on the local news for poisoning or manslaughter.
"What did you two do?" Tommy Hawk asked Pam.
Pam looked at Dennis, and Dennis put his index finger on his lips and made a shh~ gesture, signaling Pam to keep Tommy a secret for the time being, and said by himself:
"The man of the year at Lincoln High is none other than me, Tommy. In short, in the third section of the psychology distance education course, you must..."
But before Dennis could finish speaking, a male voice sounded not far away: "Tommy Hawk, come here."
Tommy turned his head, Lincoln High School teacher Ronnie Williams, who was responsible for providing college screening guidance, was holding a cup of coffee, sticking his head out of his office, and greeted Tommy Hawke.
"See you in the third class." Dennis patted Tommy on the shoulder, and then he and Pam greeted Ronnie Williams and walked away quickly.
"Good morning, Mr. Williams." When Tommy Hawk walked into Ronnie Williams' office, he found another woman in the office.
Light blond mid-length hair, black suit and skirt, at most twenty-five or six years old, matching the female teacher's appearance that perfectly fits the fantasy of all male high school students, it is undeniable that using the current American dating show "My One" "She" is often described by the host: "This is an absolute 3S beauty."
At this time, the 3S beauty, with a smile on her face, looked at Tommy Hawk who was called in by Ronnie.
"Let me introduce Ottilia Farrell, the new guidance teacher at Lincoln High School." Ronnie took a sip of coffee and said to Tommy Hawke with a serious face: "I'm sorry, Tommy...I can't help it Help me again, I have a problem with my work, sorry..."
Seeing Ronnie Williams' frustrated expression of being unemployed, Tommy Hawk was stunned for a moment, then opened his hand and said understandingly: "Oh, Mr. Williams, you have worked in this school for seventeen years , I mean maybe the principal made a sloppy..."
"I'm going to start a new job at the State Government's Office of Student Safety and Health! Boy!" Ronnie changed his face when he saw Tommy's regretful expression, and said loudly and excitedly: "It's only a five-minute walk from the stadium, and I won't have to Missing a Pilgrim game for fear of being stuck in traffic!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Williams." Tommy stared blankly at Ronnie for a few seconds, and then congratulated him insincerely, "This is really good news."
"So, in the future, Miss Otilia Farrell will take over from me for your consultation on university admissions, and Miss Farrell will also take over the guidance of some school clubs." Ronnie Williams tricked After finishing Tommy, he turned around and introduced to his new instructor Ottilia: "Tommy Hawk, this guy is the only good guy in this school who has taken AP6 courses at the same time in the past three years! After three weeks, all the students in the school , you will know how powerful he is."
The three weeks later in his mouth refers to the time of the AP course exam.
"Hello, Miss Farrell." Tommy greeted each other politely.
"Hello, Tommy Hawke." Otilia Farrell smiled in astonishment, "Sorry, I didn't mean to discriminate against you, but I don't know what Ronnie meant. Is it very rare to take six AP courses at Warwick Lincoln High School? If I remember correctly, when I was studying at Andover Phillips High School, there were 34 AP courses for college preparatory courses, and most of the students chose among them Five or six courses are compulsory, and seven or eight courses are also common."
"No, miss, it's not that I can only take six AP courses, but because of the lack of educational resources, our school can only provide a maximum of six AP courses." Otilia Farrell smiled bitterly and said:
"This is not my limit, but the limit of educational resources that American education can give to poor high school students who only deserve to go to public schools."
It seems that there are one or two more readers, this feels really good, thank you for reading this story, in fact, it is a bit lengthy, maybe it didn't enter the film and television entertainment plot so quickly~
