It is the beginning of the 2008/2009 school year and I already can’t wait for the AHS walk. The AHS walk is something the school does for financial aid students at Assumption. Everyone gets tickets to sell to people to enter in a contest for prizes. If they sell their 2 tickets, they get to ring a cowbell so the other homerooms can hear it. We have a goal we are trying to meet.
This is my sophomore year and it will be my second AHS walk. Last year's walk was the greatest experience for me. Because last year I started the school year out not knowing anyone here. I made some great friends to spend the walk with, and I'm going to spend this year’s walk with the same friends from last year and more! Last year I went to my friend Carra's house with some friends to have a sleep over. We did shirt decorating and lots of junk food eating. We played some fun games and mostly bonded and talked together. At first I was worried who I would spend the walk with since I didn’t really know anyone, but my new friends were so welcoming to me it still brings a smile to my face. So by the time we fell asleep it was pretty late and we were all tired and ready for the walk. The next day we all woke up and got ready for the walk. A few of us sprayed our hair with green undertones or streaks for freshman spirit. We put on our AHS walk shirts and capris. It took a little while to get us all in the car but soon enough we were on our way. First we all had to stop at McDonalds down the street of course for some breakfast. Then finally after that we made it to school.
The excitement all around the school was overwhelming. Everyone had crazy cool shirts and face painting. There were homerooms running up and down the hallways ringing the cow bells. It was a sight to see. Then everyone was called to the gym for a pep rally. Everyone was laughing and talking, and my friends and I were having so much fun. When the pep rally began it was so exciting. We were all really pumped for the walk. Then finally when everyone started to leave the gym it was time. Me and my friends stayed close together. It was the perfect day for it, not too hot. Then our walking began. None of us were sure how long of a walk it would be, but we were just having fun not even thinking about it. After a while we came to a table set up with cups of water to drink and then further along there were teachers spraying us with water guns! It was hilarious and refreshing. Eventually we realized we were coming to the end of the walk and close to the school. We were all a little sad that it was over but we still had food waiting in the cafeteria for us.
The AHS walk is one of my favorite Assumption events. I can't wait for this year's walk - it's going to be just as fun! ~Lynsey
