My Education

For most of my adolescent education, I attended a small school of about 400 kids per building. I grew up in Cloverdale, Indiana, and I attended Cloverdale Elementary, Middle, and High school until the middle of my junior year. At this school educational opportunities were slim. We were a farming community and didn't have the funding nor the drive to be honest to get anywhere else. It was kind pretty sad to be honest, in my grade there were only about 10 of us that knew we were going somewhere bigger and better but we had to work our asses off to get there. We didn't have the classes that the bugger schools had, or the teachers that were still energetic about their jobs. They had been worn out by the community and lack of standards almost as much as our "driven" group. Then finally, , in December of 2015 my family and I moved out Nazareth.  I can't even explain how excited I was to finally be at a "big" school, which I came to find out really isn't that big compared to a lot of schools around here. At Naz, I've had so much more opportunity to prepare myself for the next level of education. I feel like I'm learning something every single day which is a nice change compared to most things coming easily. I have so many class opportunities compared to the course loads that were available in Indiana. Not every school there of course is like the one I attended, as I'm sure not every school is like Nazareth. I think I've honestly been lucky to experience both styles of schooling. It's shown and taught me many things about myself and how I should go about my educational needs (that I have control of).
