High school has come with many ups and downs, however I have made many many friends and memories that will last a lifetime. I am grateful to my teachers for helping me fall in love with learning and strive for excellence. I am also grateful for all the experiences that have shaped me as a person and will miss it dearly.

My experience has been overall good. However, Heath has many fights and kids with disciplinary issues. While most teachers are hard working, some teachers can also seem as if they don't care too much.
