I would have to say the only thing that really kept me going through High School were sports and the medical classes with Mrs. Carling. I struggled with being bullied in Middle School and High School. There were multiple students that struggled with some of the other teachers as well. There are definitely things I think my High School could work on and do better with, but it will take time.

People have said that this school is a piece of trash and that the program is poorly set up, but as a student, I am here to put those rumors to rest: yes, it does have a limited course with...
