The first high school I attended was a wonderful experience, unfortunately the tuition to attend this school became exceedingly difficult for my parents to pay. Through research I found my current school, Central High Scool. I fell in love with central because of the immense diversity, abundance of classes, and endless opportunities. Transferring was a frightening step in my high school career but central has shown me that change does not have to be a terrifying thing, rather something to embrace. If I were to change something for the future students at central it would be changes in the class sizes. Due to this school being so populated, the classes can have an overwhelming number of students. As much as I adore getting to know many of my classmates, I also enjoy the balance of a serene environment. With a smaller number of students in the classroom teachers can put more of their efforts into building individual relationships with students.
I absolutely love attending Central. As an 8th grader going into high school I was petrified of what was to come and how my experience would be. However, Central was everything I hoped for in a high school. The teachers care so much about their students and strive to make everyday the best it can be and offer unconditional support to their students. Not to mention our school is one of the most diverse in all of Omaha. I got to learn beside other students who have different perspectives and backgrounds which I believe made me grow as a person. It made be realize the importance of learning and respecting other people views and beliefs. I could not have asked for a better school, Central has made such an impact on my life and I am so grateful for everything I have learned.
I loved my experience at Central and would not have wanted to spend my high school years anywhere else! Being an Eagle has allowed me the opportunity to deepen my love for STEM and connect with others in and outside of school. As a Central athlete, I also was able to build leadership skills and learn to collaborate with my peers.
