Heidelberg School

six years of my childhood, my family lived in Germany, and I completed my first two years of high school at an American high school in Wiesbaden. It has been four and a half years since I moved back to the States, and I realize now how much I squandered while I was there.

When I was still in the 7th grade, my middle school began to send me to the local high school to take classes because they did not offer a rigorous enough curriculum. This was in large part due to my school district lacking the funding to diversify the classes they offered.

I saw their frustration when they, as…

Looking back at the semester, I have had a few successes. First, I did well in all of my classes, which to me is a big success. I thought my classes would be extremely…

I grew up in a small church, where my mom was a Sunday school teacher and my dad was the Assistant Pastor. They also were involved in the youth a lot. Growing up, I can remember driving down the road on our way to church and seeing kids that knew or my mom knew and we would ask them if they wanted to go to church with us.

While I have heard of…
