My high school experience has been good for the most part. I am personally a very outgoing person so making friends was not to hard, and was a big part of why I have enjoyed it so far. Most of the teachers I have had have been great, but I hear some, not so much.

High school has had its ups and downs but by being at Fresno high I've met amazing friends and teachers that have helped me through the way. Fresno is my hometown with its own perks and my high school has had its fair share of attention good and bad but I wouldn't change going there for a second.
