I loved my small town growing up. However, now that I'm in college, I know that it didn't prepare me for the real world at all. It was a great place to grow up, but I feel like a lot of people get stuck here and end up moving back and raising kids here, and that was never what I wanted but I feel like I'll never escape it out of fear of going anywhere else.

I've had an awesome experience at Forreston High school. Im currently a sophomore and love my teachers. We truly come together as a family and always help each other when needed.
