L.W Higgins introduced me to diverse conversation topics from philosophy questions to basic trivia questions.The variety keeps things interesting and teaches me to adapt , learn different needs and explore different interest. The worst part is misunderstandings, I try my best but sometimes I may not fully be on the same page as otther people. I would like to improve my ability to understand more diverse topics and be up to date on my information.

When I attended higgins it was fun but it could have took a bigger step in my education. It was easy for me to pass without even trying but it's not as bad as everyone thought it to be. It is a nice environment and the staff are so kind and really do care for you and want you to be great . The food in the cafeteria is nasty but I like the milk and stuff.

The school was more concerned with keeping us in line by having a large disciplinarian staff and strict dress cod...
