An apprehensive, brace-faced ninth grader walked into South unaware of just how transformative her years here would be. I value my education most and am so fortunate to learn here; however, I would enjoy a larger variety of offered classes. As an economics major, I found my passion through my microeconomics class- economics makes the seemingly unpredictable manageable, just as South has done for me as a person. I would have loved to further my studies with macroeconomics, but South does not offer this course. Although courses are limited, it never hindered my growth because interdisciplinary learning mixed economics into several of my other classes- like research projects in Environmental or the study of different economic systems in government. Extracurricular opportunities completed my experience- like my school's endless support for my club that promotes fair treatment of those with mental disabilities. I couldn't be happier with the person that South shaped me into.
I liked the educational resources available to all students specified to their interests. Personally, I want to pursue TV production and the TV studio and teachers were superb. Other teachers though were not very pleasant and the school district overall is unrealistically strict with the students. The education we receive I feel truly prepares every student for college. There are also numerous clubs and activities to take part in. The sports teams are consistently very good and go far in their competitions.
I have found school is like any experience in life, we get out of it what we invest. If you become involved in high school, you will walk away with a different experience then the student that just attends class each day. In my 4 years in Clarkstown South I have been a member of swim team, crew team, band, and a member of VASSA (Varsity Athletes Against Substance Abuse).
This program provided me an opportunity to speak to students in the district about the dangers of drugs and alcohol, and serve as role model for the youth in our district. Academically I had the opportunity to attend the local Community College in my senior year, while maintaining my involvement in all of my high school activities. This allowed me to explore courses that will prepare me for my chosen career in nursing, as I plan to attend college in the Fall. I will walk away from Clarkstown South when I graduate this June, but the bonds with teachers and friends will last a lifetime.
