My overall experience was neither good nor bad but it was more bad than good . Most of the experiences I had with some of the teachers were really bad, I had teachers that were racist, treated some students better than others and teachers who really didn't care whether you were passing or failing .most of the students bullied other students and thought they were better than everyone else. I did not feel safe or wanted in the school. It was the most dreadful part of my life . Every time I walked into the building I wanted to go home but there was this one certain teacher who really pushed me and I can honestly say she is the only reason why i'm geraduating highschool with hionors .
