My name is Bill and I come form Brooklyn. What really struck me about this school was not the diversity of the races. You see I came from a well diversified High school myself where people wear jeans below their thighs and others that came from over seas. What really stuck me was the difference in mind set. In my high school, everyone took a back seat in their education. The goal was to do the least amount of work but also pass. Grade was secondary. I guess that is a good ideal for the business world but its defiantly not here. I met people here who are serious of their education.
I love to help people. When you ask me, I’ll most defiantly attempt to help you to the best of my abilities but unfortunately, I’m not every good at it. So for your own good, don’t ask me for help. I very much hate public speaking. Sometimes I freeze up and most of the time I sway from one spot to the other like I’m on the swings. I had a very bad experience once in a public speech course in high school. I was mumbling my words and swaying as usual but then the most unusual thing happened. Part of my face started to have a nervous twitch and I couldn’t calm down. I looked at the teacher but either he doesn’t notice or was just being mean and told me to keep going. I freaked, paused for a good 10 secs and said “That’s it” and just sat back down. Course I got a failing grade but to be honest, I’d rather get a failing grade then to stay up there looking like a moron.
Lastly, the one moment that empowered me the most was when I got my high school diploma. My school was extremely easy for people to cut and I got pulled in the group mentality of doing the least possible but of course I failed them all. I was what is known as being in the 5 year program. I was left back and at the end I was really on the boarder, If I failed one class I would have still been in High school or at least have done summer school for it. Course I got it hence I’m here and had a great summer on a cruise but that moment where I finally got my diploma was probably the best part of my life.
