Rather than a school it feels like a home In some scenarios it can be a good thing, but it can also be extremely overbearing.

I loved that I had the opportunity to experience different organizations and different types of work to volunteer in. We have awesome programs here that can be very successful in life. I wouldn't change much about this school but we could use some better supplies.
