Plainview has not been a bad experience for me, but for many it is. Most teachers do their jobs well, and some it's hard to learn from.

I have been going to Plainview since the third grade and didn't quite enjoy it, being there at first. I had moved from a Fort Payne and I didn't feel like I quite fit in, and being bullied from this one kid didn't help much. Over time as I grew and matured along with my bully, I began to enjoy this school more and more. I realized how nice and friendly everyone was, and I helped to show the same kindness to others that moved to Plainview, and know that they can have a good experience and grow as a person just as I had. Showing kindness to others in return, was something that Plainview has taught me to do, and that it is important to treat others just as you want to be treated.

I am a senior here at Plainview this year. Looking back at all the memories as I walk down each hall makes me realize just how much I have grown. Not from a little third grader into a senior, but as a person. This school teaches you how to be respectful, curtious, kind and caring. We may not realize it but the teachers and faculty are here to teach us and help us grow.
