The one thing I love about Atherton is the family aspect in the volleyball team. I've been playing for seven years and I never felt more welcome. Though, the things I would change about Atherton, is actually having actions in letting the students voice be heard and things actually changing about it. Next, how things are taught. At times, I felt unprepared because of that.

The school has no sense of organization and they give no notice before needing money for pictures, field trips ect. Also, they quit their after school bussing for 21st century and after school activities so now my students can't participate in anything because we actually work for a living and our schedules can not be changed. The list goes on really....
