My experience in High school was unique, I started my freshman year not knowing anyone and being the only black person in my grade. My freshman year took a lot of adjusting but I got the hang of it. Still there was not many black people so I encourage many different diverse people to come shadow me and experience a day at Marian. This motivated many people from my city to apply to Marian, by my senior year there was 3 times as many Black, Asian, and Hispanic people then when I started.

Marian Catholic High School allows for an exceptional education with a great opportunity to make life long friends. It gives me a chance after coming from a public school to go to a new area and make new friends that I have never met before. So far throughout my years of high-school I've made 1 super close friend that's now in college but comes back during his breaks and hangs out with me the same way we did when he was in high-school. It gave me a chance to become someone better then I ever thought I would be.

Teachers call certain students degrading names and mock them., while other students get treated like gold. Only favorites are picked to play on sports teams, have to be a friend of a friend. Juvenile delinquents (literally run the school.) A depressing atmosphere, not a good place to send your child...
