I love my schools diversity it has allowed me to become comfortable in many scenarios and has allowed many more opportunities then i would have ever expected like being on the robotics team and participating in 4 AP classes even though it is only my freshman year I really appreciate the amazing teachers, principles ,and counselors that have lead me through all of my future years of high school experience to get me on the right track to reach my goal of becoming a zoologist.
