I liked that we had many opportunities to learn different things. We created "Spread the Word to end the Word" which helps with bullying around all the schools. I played basketball for a couple years and I have been in Law Enforcement class in my schools LACC. I have learned so many things being in high school that I didn't quite expect. Of course, there are times where I struggled but I made it to my senior year wishing I could finish it without the COVID-19 being an issue for me. I honestly wish I could stay in High School because of how much I enjoyed it.
