When I joined North High as a Sophormore very new to the country, the people in the some felt like my second family. The Administration, teachers and friends made me very comfortable and looked after both academics and overall. They helped me adjust my understanding of the subjects they were teaching to my understanding, since the way they taught and from my country are different.
