Highschool was a great experience for me but it was extremely challenging. I went to one of the top academic schools in the state so the standards were very high. Playing sports that demanded much of my time made this even more difficult.

It confirmed in me to follow my truth and when I left at 15 I knew that was what I needed to do!

I met great teachers who helped me realize that I also wanted to be a great educator like them. I learned a lot from high school, but when I went to college, I realized I had more to learn still. I think it is because of the studying habits that I developed in high school that led me to be a great student now.

I went to a public high school in garden grove and I felt very secluded. In my school AVID was only for those who had bad grades but I didn't have bad grades and I thought being of the few Latinos at the school it was my only way into college.

I went to a public school in Garden Grove and i think that it affected me in a positive way. I use to be very secluded and i kept to myself, i still sort of am but I've gotten a lot better, but high school really helped me to get out there and experienced a lot of new things and get to meet a lot of great new people i would have never have talked to if it weren't for all the things high school did for me

At the time, my school experience was pretty great. It felt like a community, family, because most of students went to the same elementary schools and middle schools as well. We also had constant talks about injustice and bullies, and how to combat against those. Because of my experiences, it has made me a more understanding person, and with a passion against injustice against any person or in a system. This also has shown me a bit of how school has changed, by how my sister's experience in High School was.

My school was one of the top schools in its district. I had great teachers and was able to make friends with and interact with a diverse student body. But I also did not like the cliques and couldnt wait to leave.

All the different public schools i went to made me realize how different every location and subsection is. Not only does state culture vary but the different parts of cities are all unique. Everytime i left a school it made me realize how lucky i was to attend it

I went to a public school where I was really engaged with the music program but the general education was pretty underwhelming and I kind of coasted through it...

It forced me to leave my comfort zone and start communicating better with my peers versus keeping to myself.

I personally couldn't wait to get out of high school. I felt incredibly out of place and was not comfortable in my own skin.

It affected me in many ways, from playing sports to learn about leadership while also going through ups and downs in periods of life. It certainly helped make me who I am, but did not define me.
I would say my high school experience was decent.

I was very involved in high school and the teachers who encouraged me in academic and extracurricular activities made me feel like I belonged even when I didn't have friends around

I came from a private school (attended from 4th-8th grade) to a public high school, and I had just started being accepted by my peer group before going to HS. So I don't know which of those 2 changes it was, but HS seemed much more open with lots of friends to be made and opportunities to explore.

I had a decent high school experience. My high school experience is actually what made me realize my love for music and find out what kind of person I was. However, outside of that I was awkward and didn't fit in super well.

I went to a public school out of state, in a small community big on HS football rather than academics. I was in the marching band, which still affects the way I present myself, respect others, and behave overall.

I had a wonderful high school experience. I have come to realize over the years how lucky I had been to have the kind of dedicated and adept teachers in my learning. The transition to college was very smooth and I even ended up using a lot of my notes from HS in college!
