Torrance High School

made the goal of participating more in class thanks to my grade eight teacher who suggested that I should break out of my shell and share my great ideas more since I never actually did in elementary. I tried my best to try to participate in summer school transitioning to grade nine, and it was the hardest place to ever participate in class.
