Blandford forced me to make new friends, manage my time, and gave me the chance to do things that I never would have done before. I went to Blandford when I was in sixth grade, so it was only one year. At Blandford only sixty students were accepted, thirty in each class. There were two teachers there, J.J and Mrs. Mckay and each of…
