With the back-to-school season nearing, my thoughts return to my educational journey at Greenville Senior High Academy (GSHA). Those early school days feel like a story from an old book, filled with the memories of classmates walking together to school and the sounds of students laughing during breaks.
In 2008, I was called “gifted” after a few rounds of tests and received an acceptance letter from GSHA. This new situation gave me the heebie-jeebies—leaving behind familiar faces to go into a world where strangers came from every corner of the Greenville area was a lot to deal with. As I stepped into the new hallways, I had no idea of the great impact this change would have on my life.
My time at GSHA marked an important period that remains a highlight of my young life. Dance became an unexpected great love for me. Ballet and modern dance classes every other day helped me create some of the best memories I have of that time. When I was in the dancing room I felt like we were dancing stars. Our dance performances were unforgettable—from the stage, it was fun to see the hall completely filled.
Beyond artistic parts, what hangs around most in my memory are the relationships that were created. I had classmates from different backgrounds, each one of them increasing my knowledge in ways that books could not. Looking back, it’s clear that education is not only about textbooks. It includes the people who guide us, the friendships that shape us, and the experiences that form us into different individuals.
1. What do the underlined words “gave me the heebie-jeebies” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Worked quite well on me.
B. Made me very nervous.

D. Left me really proud.
2. What do we know about the author at GSHA?
A. She was crazy about dancing.
B. She was thankful to Ms Smith.
C. She was a fan of Debbie Allen.
D. She was a gifted ballet performer.
3. What did the author realise after her experience?
A. Time is money.
B. Hard work pays off.
C. Education goes far beyond books.
D. Different backgrounds shape deep friendships.
4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To share her learning methods.

C. To remember her high school teachers.
D. To think back to her high school journey.
