empathize. I have influenced people to help them find the middle ground to themselves. In High school, I participated in band. Because of band I was able to talk to students about the importance of music and how to be ready for the real-world problems.

I was able to teach them…

I'm gonna tell you why we should be able to and show you ways to at least make the gravel lot better.

My first argument is that the sophomore class is the largest…

of my classes my freshman and sophomore year and had no strive or confidence in myself. The reasons I failed so terribly I think is because i wasn’t aware of how important high school was and how credits worked. I just thought it would be a breeze and I would be fine barely passing. I feel like if someone would have informed me about how important everything was I would have gotten all of my stuff together way earlier and faster. I’ve attended three high schools and I believe it has helped out…

was a sophomore in high school I decided that I didn’t like the school I went to. Bishop Carroll didn’t feel like the place I wanted to be.
