The best parts of my experience at Menchville High School is that I got to meet a large diverse group of people who inspired me to push myself socially and educationally. The worst parts of my high school I have experienced was the dangerous environment and lack of teachers available to teach subjects. I would like to see a change in the environment of the school by promoting positive behaviors for students and teachers and help teachers get the resources they need to properly teach the students to the best of their ability.

The best part of my experience is how many students are able to make an impact on the school. For instance, the student was able to plan events. Many of the teachers are helpful and resourceful. However, there are times where I feel like I wish new more of the resources and events offered by the school.

Menchville wasn't all that bad but I feel somethings aren't being enforced very well which may ultimately lead to a disruptive environment for education.
