I started at San Tan at the start of my Junior year. I was part of the JROTC class but left, part of the Varsity Football team for there isn't a lower team (small school), and left due to lack of support from teammates. I joined the Philanthropy club in the last 2 months of my Senior year and am going to walk this Thursday. The worst experience was what I experienced with the team. Not many people seemed to care about whether I failed or not in football. One of the coaches seemed to laugh at every thing I wanted to try to do. One teammate didn't attempt to bring me up when I was at my lowest, which caused me to want to leave. My best experience was meeting a specific person at the school. Since it has nothing to do with the school, I won't mention much about it.
