At first it was a steady ride at first in my journey of high school from best times like my field trips to my time in gaming club. then there are bumpy bad times like some of my troubling math equations and project mishaps but in the end it all turn out peaceful. the lunch and breakfast did range from good to bad and i was able to meet some friend and classmates from my previous high school and was able to reconnect with some them in with the the ride turn into a relaxing slope but most of all it was a very fun and educational experience i had.

It was a confusing experience. I was a freshman when we were all doing online school, and so coming in as a sophomore I was nervous of what high school culture really was. Overall, It wasnt a bad experience and I've found myself having grown over those four years and being proud of who I've become academically and socially.

My personal experience with Springfield Central high school is a loving one. I love the school for being able to personally prepare me for college, help me with my academic challenge that I face daily, get me ready for the sports I play, but most of all have a wide culture of diversity and knowledge of students from all over the world.

I graduated in the year 1993. I'll never forget my teachers I had. They were excellent. I have memories to last a lifetime and keep dear to my heart.
