My Observation Of Ooltewah High School

Improved Essays
For as long as I can remember, I have dreamed of enjoying the college atmosphere. While attending Ooltewah High School, I realized that my education in both school, and the Word of God, will help me further pursue my dreams. Where others see the work and stressful nights, and homework as a chore, I only see excitement. Even as a child, I constantly sought it out, first looking up different schools, then seeking different majors, then later in person appearing in every campus open house I could find. College in all its forms fascinated me, but schools that brought me closer to the Lord were in a category all to themselves.

    It’s difficult to make an impression on a school packed with 3000 students of varying beliefs, ethnicities, personalities, and genders. However, I believe I left my imprint on Neshaminy High School through room G213, where I impacted the lives of 30 of my peers. It all started my junior year when my history teacher, Mr. Greenberg, informed us about a new anti-bullying and suicide prevention club he started. Upon hearing this, I knew I had to get involved as both of these issues are extremely important to me. Problems surrounding suicide and bullying have always been major roadblocks throughout my life as I have an autistic brother who was often bullied in high school and countless of my close friends were suicidal.…
