The main differences that intrigued me about the two schools are difficulty, discipline,and teachers. The conversion of moving from the Jr. high school to the high school was really surprising to me.

life, and I still to this day don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I have gotten to experience a lot more this year than in the past, and I am very grateful yet worried that I have had to experience some of these things so young in life. This past year I was able to experience a lot of new places and even new faces. I was challenged with several serious health problems, along with school work, and personal family issues.
