Comparing High School Classes

This year is my first year in high school. It’s a lot different than I expected. When I thought about high school, I thought about bullies, constant homework, cliques, and kids getting shoved in lockers, but I haven’t seen any of that so far.

High school is actually a lot better than it seems. The classes in high school are pretty similar to the classes in middle school.

The class also has some mythology incorporated into it, something that I’m very interested in. I don’t actually have a least favorite teacher, they’re all too great to rank like
