Estrellita High School

(By request of David O.)
«What?! You were an Estro-​technician?! Damn, Girl, What’d you do?!»
OK. To an outsider, Estrellita is super intriguing. It’s where all the most interesting characters end up. At Galt High, people talked about people getting to sent to Estrellita for a slew of romantic reasons. There was always some banter about Estrellita’s students. Estrellita students were known as Estro-​technicians, which is probably referring to the most likely career path for Estrellita’s graduates. I guess the notion was, that Estrellita students were less likely to succeed than the students at Galt High.
Most people think that once you enroll in Continuation school that you’re going nowhere fast. You’re either pregnant, a drug-​addict, lack impulse control, or have some sort of psychological deficiency.
Go ahead and let most people think what they want to think. It’s what they’re going to think anyway, because most people are ignorant and enjoy being ignorant. That’s one thing Estrellita taught me. It’s good to have a thick skin because most people don’t matter.
But if you want to know what’s up with Estrellita, I’m about to tell you.
Significant Facts about my experience at Estrellita:
1. When I had to «add» this location, I still had the phone number memorized. When I was my mother I called it a lot :[
2. Estrellita means «little star.»
3. I NEVER got in any sort of verbal or physical altercation when I attended Estrellita. I got along with everyone, even the teachers! (+5 stars) Estrellita was nothing like Galt High, which drains the life right out of a person. I got in a lot of trouble at GHS.
4. It was much easier to learn at Estrellita. I started to really learn once I finally got kicked out of Galt High (Thank you, Mr. Murray!)
This is a good school to get little stars out of big ruts. I ended up graduating 1.5 years early, because the assignments made more sense and the faculty veered away from group projects.
There weren’t any fights or cliques at Estrellita. I don’t know why this was. But I’ll think about it and once I find an explanation, we’ll do an update.
The staff isn’t judgy at all. When I went to get my transcript to register at UCD, they treated me just like the student ahead of me waiting to get his schedule. They did congratulate me and told me «You look great!» But only after they helped the little star ahead of me. I’m down with that.
So here’s what I’m saying: Don’t hate or judge these little stars. Because if they have to, they’ll whoop your ass. That’s why they’re probably here in the first place. Because for all the ways you think you’re smarter than them, they’re12 times smarter than you.
Estro-​tech por vida.
