I will always remember my time spent at Monrovia High School. Every year since my freshman year has been such an amazing experience. Meeting new friends and learning with amazing teachers who care about their students made MHS feel like a second home. Spending time with not only my friends but my tennis team has made my Highschool memorable. Even the hardships such as homework and studying for exams, MHS never once made me doubt my abilities to achieve greatness.
