I will be starting my fourth year at Bedford High School, and my past three years have been overall enjoyable. Besides my rigorous academics, wonderful teachers, and amazing friends at BHS, I have grown tremendously as a person in the past three years. BHS has provided me with so many leadership opportunities. Being a 2 year captain of a sports team, a peer leader, student ambassador, and so much more. It has offered me classes like anatomy and AP biology to help prepare me for my future career as well as medschool, and it gives students many opportunities to explore subject areas and interests.
The school administration allowed the students to express themselves. The clothing rules and restrictions were not strict, and students felt comfortable being themselves. However, I felt as though the teachers relied too heavily on the provided IPads. The lessons were very reliant on the use of technology and I feel as though I was not taught by the teachers, but the iPads.
The people are close knit with one another, although it is admittedly difficult for new students associated with the overseas military to fit it because of the culture difference. The freshman are loud and obnoxious, the sophomore are stuck-up and quiet or loud, no in betweens, the juniors are actually pretty nice excluding some people, and the seniors are highly intimidating. Everyone puts up an unwelcoming wall, but over time it does get easier to talk to everyone.
