“Freshman year has been wonderful. When you need help, when you’re just really confused, the teachers will come up to you and ask you if you’re understanding what they’re teaching. They have tutoring after school and they really help you a lot. So everyone says that the school is really difficult, but if you get help from the teachers and if you’re paying attention, it’s really easy.

PE was so hard for me at first, but Mr. Kircher motivates you to keep on going. The mile is hard to run; sometimes it’s hot, sometimes it’s really cold. It’s better when it’s cold because then you get the wind in your face and you just want to push yourself to get a better mile. My time has improved by a lot; it was 10:20 and now it’s 9:17.”
