The heat in the school and no cooling

High school was never that great for me.

However, having a few fantastic friends plus a handful of good teachers helped me get through my academic struggle.

My school had an interesting layout than your average school look. It was more like an outdoor shopping center, since the only buildings with roofs were the fitness rooms, the classrooms, plus the offices themselves. Once you exited your room, you were back into the building’s main walking path that was open to the outdoor air. Residing in the south, this wasn’t such a bad layout for people. The school didn’t have a traditional Heating & A/C system. We only used a cooling device. This was needed for those times of the year when temperature plus humidity were at their worst. Then there was that 1 morning, when the school’s central cooling went out totally. It went from a problem being addressed by the administration, to an Heating & A/C serviceman absolutely working day and night on it to get it back in business. The classroom doors were all open, but it felt sticky plus disgusting to sit down and study. I remember the gym’s floor having so much condensation from the heat, they had to put out wet floor signs.This was absolutely 1 of the most uncomfortable days in my schooling years. The fans didn’t seem to make much of a difference at all. The administration came to terms, since most students complained how it was tough to focus without proper a/c, students were permitted to take a ‘sick morning’ of absence that wouldn’t count against their overall attendance.
