It was honestly pretty fun, and I do miss it. But since going to collage I realized how bad it was there sometimes. We have so much more freedom in collage then in high school. Academic wise, We had a lot of different programs and we had a Career and Tech Center right next to our school, which opened up a lot of different opportunities.
