I felt like it took me 3 years of high school to trust people again after my horrible middle school experiences. And I know my experiences are mild compared to many others. My high school was great in comparison and I think it was a good transition for me to college. One of the computer science teachers really helped me get interested in the subject too.
I could never be a high school teacher. I know I was insufferable but my teachers showed great patience and understanding. I’m truly grateful to all of them.
