My overall experience with building 21 has been a great experience because I started high school towards the end of covid-19. I came a long way from then and now. I thought wasn't going to make it through high school because of covid, but no I made to my final year of high school and I will complete that final year of high school.

My experience at Building 21 was different then what I expected for high school. Building 21 is not a normal high school, we didn't have sports or being pep rally's, and things like that. The good thing is that the school was small so we got to know each other and be closer class. The thing I would change is probably some of the ways they discipline the students.
