My worst memory at Westminster has to be when I got myself into a little bit of trouble with my old roommate Sarah Coleman. It was a little ways into the year, and it was around the time when teachers caught wind of facebook and found a way to check people's pictures. Stupidly, we put up a picture that involved us holding a vodka bottle in a school bathroom. The empty bottle had been left in our bag from the previous break, and we realized we had to get rid of it so we wouldn't get in trouble at school. On the way to through it out, we decided it would be funny to take a picture holding this empty bottle and then since it was a cute picture, it made its way to a facebook album. It had been a long day of classes at Westy, and as Sarah and I swung the door open to our tiny, little room, Mr. Joncas and Ms. Devaney were in there leaning on our beds with mad faces on. I had no idea what had happened, but next thing I knew, they were telling us that this picture had been seen by the deans, and they recognized it to be a school bathroom. We explained to them that we never drank at school and that it was an empty bottle and a stupid mistake, but they told us our spot at Westminster may have just been jepoardized. I had never been so scared in my life. All my friends and all the good times I had at Westy were flying through my mind.The faces of my parents if they found out were something I did not want to face. I had never been in trouble at Westminster before and I felt so stupid. I wanted to make it all go away. I soon found myself crying in Mr. Cole's office with Sarah by my side. WE told him that this school was where we belonged and to forgive us. We told him we would do anything to keep our spots in this school because it meant the world to us to be there. In the end, the situation ended and obviously I am still here today. It was a scary situation that made me realize how much I truly loved being at Westy and how I would never, for the rest of my Westminster career, get myself into a bad situation that could end with me not being at this school any longer.
