The first day day their was very confusing you had to go to the bottom floor just to return to the top floor. The teachers were very kind and assertive about their teaching but it was making friends or talking to anyone but as the year went along I got better at communication and making friends but their were people that would only talk to me just to have more friends. But the best thing that did happen was when my parents enrolled me into wrap that's where I met a lot of my friends that had the same interest as me. As the final year was approaching the ability to mature was more prominent as people who didn't like me began to tolerate me and became some of my good friends. I will never forget what I learned their with the amazing teachers that let me stay in there classrooms at lunch and the people that I met. It got me launched at thinking about college and helped me have a starting point I met a couple of different people but not being able to talk to everyone.
