At gorham high school I have had a very interesting career. The school itself has been very good for me and I have enjoyed my time. Although the teacher aren't personable and aren't as understanding as they should be. As a very busy athlete and working a job, my work load and homework situation was always very overwhelming. The teachers did not understand the importance of spending time with family and doing other things in our free time and I really never had time for it. It was very depressing and hard for me. But at the same time I don't think I learned enough. All of my assignments were busy work and meaningless assignments. Yes, it taught me how to manage my time and kept me from going to sporting events but it wasn't helpful for my future. Overall I am overwhelmed to go to college because of the lack of information and the brief lessons I have learned throughout my four years. After freshman year I don't think I learned one thing in a science class during the next 3 years.
