It was fun at that school there was a lot of crazy moments but definitely a lot of memories that's for sure.

Dobbins was a pretty great high school that helped teach and train students into getting a certification in their chosen trade. One of the worst part of my time being there is having to talk to the cosmetology teacher about my grade constantly because I was in a dual enrollment classes. One of my best times were meeting the helpful counselors and staff that encouraged me that I was worth more and could do college.

I believe that although the staff tries hard to accommodate students, it has been increasingly difficult with each new class and many teachers have begun to lose hope with the kids. It is somewhat discouraging to see the little engagement students have in class despite teachers' efforts. I have grown a lot in the school, but I feel I could've grown more if the school itself was provided with better resources.
