My education in the United States started from 10th grade as I moved here in 2013. I was in 10th grade in my country and continued as a 10th grader here. Since I joined as a 10th grader in high school, I didn’t get the opportunity to experience the environment in the 9th grade center of Elsik High School, which is separated from the rest of the school. My high school here was completely different from the school in my country. My school in Nepal had about a thousand K-12 students studying in…

Education has to be a priority for all stakeholders – superintendents, lawmakers, educators, community leaders, businesses, parents and students, and there has to be a sense of common purpose in education to…

Education in the United State is a crucial aspect to a great citizen. I think to help make this country succeed we need citizens that can succeed and having an education can do just that.
