When i first arrived at the YMLA in 2012 i was very skeptical about the school in general, and my 6th grade year was pretty tough but over time it got better for me and I eventually started to make friends and connections that will help me in life.

Just one thing after another. No one seems to know what is going on in their school and classroom. Lots of teachers with bad attitudes and no desire to be in education. Discrimination is plentiful there
