The worst experience at Bluford Drew Jemison Stem was a difficult and challenging because I was really getting help from teacher with college readiness and preparing for college . The best experience at Bluford was I able to build connections with all students and teachers and I helped a lot of teachers with their class. I would like to change the schedule of how the class are set up maybe include some STEM surrounded classes.
