May 14th was Senior Decision Day for the SMHS seniors. This event took place during lunch near the 200’s building. Students would have to RSVP by scanning a QR code and filling out a form, or if you were Nathan and I, then you would’ve sent an email to Mrs. Gonzalez to squeeze you in the list. We’ve had email issues lately and didn’t even notice about Senior Decision Day until the morning of that day.
The students are greeted by SMHS staff and checking you off the list. You’re then given an invitation flier to fill out with your name and where you’ll be attending. Whether it’s Allan Hancock College, a CSU, a UC, and or trade school was up to you. You’re then given the chance to take a picture with you and your friends with the flier. You can then check out the different booths or get your free lunch. They had an Allan Hancock College and Marine and Army service booth. If you went up to the Hancock booth you would’ve been given Hancock merch. If you went up to the Marine and Military booth they would test you on your pushup skills. If you had any questions, the people running the booths would be your guides.
As we waited in line to get our free lunch, you would be given a black mug to carry your candy around that they’d give you at the end. The lunch mainly consisted of Subway turkey ham sandwiches, a bag of chips, a Capri Sun, a cookie and a bag of popcorn. The sandwich was a bit small, but I can’t complain. Overall, it was a cool experience for the seniors to enjoy with their peers.
