Majority of the classes taught me well. A thing that could change is the way they spend their money.

As my career at Tuscaloosa Academy comes to an end, I would like to reflect on the good and the bad. The good about Tuscaloosa Academy, is that at all times I always felt safe, the one on one with teachers was outstanding, and the drive to be successful really played a role in choosing which college i would like to attend. The bad is the terrible diversity.
