I would definitely like to see the constant construction projects finished up. Students have been dealing with noise and mess for years.

My time at Apollo Highschool has been a rollercoaster of emotions. There are so many positives that I could go on and on about. Saying this there have also been some low points just like everything else in life. The good points is the communication and relationships I have made with teachers. Every teacher at this wonderful highschool has treated me as if I was their own child. There were even times that they put their own free time or break time to stay behind and tutor me when me or a classmate didn't understand something. This is something that I will remember about the great teachers always and that's their sacrifice.

The best part and worst part of the experience would be the teachers, it just depends on who you look at. Some of them are bigoted and lazy, and others are driven and supportive. I would like to see more accountability for students and teachers both.
