Chapter 2 Entering Secondary School
So what's next?
If there is no accident, the $50,000 will arrive soon, and there will be more things you can do at that time, after all, the first pot of gold is the most difficult to earn, but after having money, it is money rolling and money making money, especially for people like themselves who have the advantage of being reborn.
However, she doesn't have much time because her secondary school is a boarding school.
Why Boarding School? Speaking of which, it is also related to this ballet.
Although she thought ballet was beautiful in her previous life and practiced hard in this life, Catherine gradually found that ballet was much more difficult than she imagined, especially after replacing soft-soled shoes with pointe shoes. And Catherine doesn't want to be an "elephant leg MM".
Greer Girls' School, founded in 1853, is a girls-only boarding school offering classes from grades 7 to 12.
Junior high school in the United States is 7~9 grades, which is different from that in China, but in the 21st century, China seems to have begun to change the title of junior high school.
Greer Girls' High School is one of the top 100 high schools in the United States, but the number of students admitted is only more than 100 people every year, and the total number of students in the school is always between 200~500, which is very, very small.
This school is in Pennsylvania, and this place is just below New York City, just a few hours by car. The school adopts a small class system, with an average of 9 students per class, and the number of teachers is nearly 100.
Spread over a total area of 130 hectares, the school is equipped with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, an indoor gymnasium (including basketball courts), a horse riding field, a football field, tennis courts, etc., making it a life-wide learning environment. Academic buildings, lecture halls, dance studios, libraries, restaurants, coffee houses, post offices, and student health centers are also indispensable.
The dormitory arrangement is also excellent, for 2 people in a room, the 2 rooms share a set of bathroom equipment, and the members of the dormitory are selected by themselves, so they can live with their friends.
It is precisely because of these superior reasons that Catherine chose this school.
The summer vacation in the United States is closed in May, and the school starts in September, and Catherine's birthday is June 1, after her birthday, she will officially be 12 years old, if you count according to the age in China, it is also called 13 years old.
According to the time, "Harry Potter" will be released on October 1, but Catherine estimates that it will probably wait until about two films are released before it will start to sell well, after all, according to some accounts, this is a "slow-burning" novel.
The school is large, but there are few students, and the learning environment at Greer Girls' School is quite good.
-- This is how Catherine felt after she came to the school on August 31 to register.
However, her tragic fate has not changed - she returned to New York for ballet lessons on the weekend.
"Capitalism of all evils."
Catherine could only let out such an exclamation in the end.
"My name is Lily, Lily Padka, I'm fourteen years old, eighth grade, and I like Elvis Presley's music the most......"
Whenever new students enroll, the school will select students who are older than them to be matched with these new students, so that they can adapt to school life more quickly.
Catherine was no exception, and the young girl in front of her, who looked quite beautiful, was introducing herself with great interest.
She wears a slightly tight-fitting beige printed dress with a huge camera around her neck.
"It's a really good school."
Looking at this beautiful environment, Catherine exclaimed.
"Catherine, there's the racetrack, and we're going to learn equestrianism there during gym class."
Listening to Lily's explanation, Catherine realized more and more that the education she received in her previous life and the education of the United States were fundamentally two planes, although the behavior of the United States was indeed unpleasant, but it was undeniable that their merits were undeniable.
"Just call me Kate."
"Well, you can call me Lily, Kate."
Lily smiled, this cute girl with blonde hair is not a blonde like the traditional American concept of being a blonde or mentally retarded, you know, to be able to go to Greer School for Girls, it is not possible without a little skill, otherwise how can this school be ranked among the top 100 high schools in the United States?
"Kate, laugh a~"
Catherine turned her head and saw the flash flashing.
"Photography is my favorite job, I want to be a photographer in the future, are you interested in coming to our photography agency? We don't just shoot photos, we also make short films. ”
"Sounds great, but I'm sorry I went to SAB to study ballet on the weekend." Catherine had never figured out what was interesting about photography since she was in her previous life. Although Catherine is also a seeker of pictures, with large size and high definition pictures, then she will never look at low-precision pictures. However, in her opinion, photography is more like a boring job that requires a long period of perseverance. ,
"It doesn't matter. I heard. In May, you won the junior competition at SAB, which is amazing. ”
"Thank you."
Catherine smiled.
Her body is very good, and it is easy to learn ballet, but her mother's requirements are too strict, so Catherine herself has the illusion that she is not very good at ballet. And she doesn't think that she is better than a group of little children, she is invincible in the world, after all, she has the eyes of an adult. So she didn't care much about that award.
The flash flashed a few more times, and Lily gave up.
Then, Lily takes Catherine around the school, introducing her to the huge school, and at the same time giving her pictures of her.
"Do you want to come and live with me, it just so happens that I'm alone."
"Is that okay?" Lily looks very enthusiastic, and Catherine also has a crush on this "big sister".
"Of course, our school can choose our own roommates. Why don't you come to my dorm room first! ”
Lily said and led Catherine to her bedroom.
There are two beds in the house, but only one seems to be inhabited.
"This is an Elvis record, do you want to hear it?" Lily pulled out a record.
"Elvis?"
By the way, the 60s seemed to be the peak of Elvis' career when he was alive. In short, the king of rock and roll, who pioneered rock 'n' roll, was the idol of the vast majority of people at this time. The hippie movement is not around the corner in a few years, and that's when people are going to get even crazier.
Although she doesn't like rock 'n' roll very much, Catherine doesn't want to disturb the other party's interest, and she also wants to hear the songs of this rock king, after all, she has never heard the songs of this legendary Elvis until now.
