The Evolution ofNatalie Jane Rutrough

Well, what can be said of Ms. Natalie? I have known her for many years, seven to be precise, and while those 7 years have been rather painful to me, they have harbored some fun times.

Sixth Grade, A year of excitement and wonder beyond my wildest dreams…. okay not really but this was the first year that Natalie attended CHA, a calm quiet girl, that sat in the back of the room and read her books.

Seventh Grade, The first year of separated classes. Natalie was still in all my classes, however her silence made her kind of like a ninja. Didnt really notice her until she started rocking the A’s in class, still didnt really talk to her that much, she was perty much the same calm quiet girl she had been the year before.

 Eighth Grade, We learned about the Sistene Chapel… not really so much learned as laughed at, as our teacher covered up the “paintings”. I think this was the year that Natalie started to come out of her Calm/quiet shell, so here we see the evolution begin. She began talking to people, making more friends, starting conversations with me and such.

Ninth Grade, This year goes down as one of the LEAST favorite of my highschool experience. Physical Science with Mr. Will Peters, I was subjegated to a lot of punishment that year, and it was also the year that I began actually talking to Natalie more and seeing the true girl behind the mask of innocence and silence.

The last of these years have built up in their intensity, most of the time being consumed with cramming for tests, getting answers to stuff from each other, and more sarcasm than most people could endure for a lifetime, While some days knowing Natalie can be a little painful(Hunters Party, me picking on Johnny in the gym) all in all it has been more fun than brutal, I cant say that I would trade my experiences with Natalie for anyone elses, cause thats just how I roll.
