I found some teachers cool but I found some teachers quite miserable and not wanting to do their jobs or teach students. From the teachers that did good I respect them and they did a good job and have a true passion but I feel bad for anyone that gets the bad teachers.

My experience at Bay Shore High School taught me a lot of things about myself. It provided me with a lot of new opportunities and surrounded me with people that I am grateful to have in my life. Some of the best parts of my experience were getting to work with adults and teachers that pushed me to be the best version of myself every day, and I would love to see more appreciation and funding for the arts programs in the future.
