At Valley I have always liked the culture there. Everyone supports everyone. It makes the sense of having a big family who cares about you. It's a great school to learn at because the do everything they can to help students with their work so they can do the best they can.

I studied well and took the most rigorous corses, but the administration with one single misunderstanding made all of that irrelevant.
