The thing I like most about my school is that it is small. All our class sizes are small and we get to know each other and because we are small in numbers it helps build relationships with our teachers. The teachers can really get to know us and they have more time to help us individually. Our school needs to work better on learning budget management. We have learned a little but it seemed like it wasn't enough to help me know what I need to know for my future out on my own.

I enjoyed the allowance of socialization. I also enjoyed that most of the staff was understanding and accommodating. Though, I do think that the one's we should've been looking up to were biast, and unfair to certain people. There was also an unnecessary amount of gossip between the staff and students about fellow students.
