I am currently a senior at Des Moines Lincoln high school, planning to go to Iowa state university this fall. I had A very fun experience at Lincoln high school with my friend and my teachers. Students are very friendly and i did not experience any bullying or any discrimination against my culture, beliefs, and gender. Teachers are friendly and take their job very seriously and they are extreamly patient with students. As an immigrant there are time when i have a difficulty of speaking and understanding English but again my teachers are always patient with me and teaches and explain lessons to me in a way I could understand. I am very grateful for all the teachers and staff at Lincoln high school.Like many other high school, Lincoln also got its own problem. I don't think that many student are prepared for college and there is lack of motivation toward further education.

Usually there's some trouble, but it's one big family here. There's so much diversity and love and there is some struggle, but it seems to bring everyone closer together.
