As a new student my sophomore year at saddleback high school, I felt as if I didn't belong. As time went on I grew out of my shell and got involved in programs and clubs this school provided for me and was able to feel more then belong. I'm grateful for the teacher I met and friends I've made at this school. With administration being readable in my step to applying to college it made me very grateful for what they have provided.

Even though there are rumors that this school sucks, but it's not all true. I know there might be some students that act like immatures, but that doe...
