My experience at Halsey has been interesting because the student are very different from what I'm used to. Everyone is so different from each other. Which made it hard to found friend cause they weren't raised the way I was and as I hear them talk it crazy to me that we're raised differently.Kids at my school are very open and I'm not as opened as they are.The teacher at my school are very respectful and supportive especially my 11th grade teacher Miss.Lewis.She had a great impact on me within the first year of knowing her.
