Taking my future career at this school will change my life.

Keely

I love it here; I learn so much and the instructors seriously care about our education and growth as a student! The instructors always try their best to make sure that we understand what we are learning and they have the time and patience to do this since the classes only have about twenty students in them.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    If i could go back to high school and let myself know about college life i would say, don't skip class, don't just blow off your freshman year,and take a math class in your senior year. These things would be spoken because of the fact that i did blow off my freshman year, and because of that mistake i had to take freshman classes in my senior year which made it hard for me to do any outside activities, because now i had no choice but to get my priorities together.( no time for play) The second thing i would tell me would be don't skip class. Why? Well many students think that it's okay to skip class, but if you think about it everything you do wrong in high school or even good, it all come back in a good or bad way. Then the final thing i would tell me would be TAKE A MATH CLASS SENIOR YEAR. It has been spoken that many high school student don't take a math class for their senior year, that's why many students have to take remedial math which you cant get credit for.
