With all of the assemblies and school wide activities i felt like i had a place here. Like i was important. Doing well in classes and learning new things are important to me but i also value a place where relationships can grow. The community is diverse and introduced me to different cultures and backgrounds. Without the experiences that i gained from going to a Duluth Public School I would not be the person that I am
