I have loved being at Aurora High School for the past 4 years. It is something that I look forward to go to every day. There ultimate goal is to make sure every student is ready for whatever they choose to do next in life which I love. Everyone in the school cares about all the students and want them to succeed.

The best parts about my experience at Aurora High School would be the relationships I've built with my teachers and the preparation I've been provided with preparing me for college.

I would like to see some changes in accommodations and understanding.
