It was a memorable experience, that will lead to many more. Thought like every child, school had its good and it’s bad days, with no doubt I would still get that excited “first day of school” feeling all over again when I woke up in the morning! This place made education fun and has taught me how the simple feeling of accomplishment and understand is more fun than anything else could ever be!
Throughout my years in Kalamazoo Public Schools, I have thrived in the educational atmosphere they provided. This had a lot to do with the staffing provided in the schools. The staff members, especially teachers, made it easy for students to comfortably come to them with any issues or problems they may face. The social environment is also one of my favorite things about this school system. There are many opportunities for bonding and relationships to form between your peers, and rarely any opportunity for being left out. There's a lot of school spirit within KPS, especially within the high schools, which I love greatly about my school system.
I love going to Kalamazoo Public Schools. The diversity is what makes it so special. I moved to KPS from Portage Public schools with little diversity. I moved to KPS because I wanted to learn, see, and interact in different cultures. I made so many amazing friends and teacher bonds. I learned so many things that I would have never learned at Portage Public Schools. Most importantly I learned about other cultures through experiences and understood perspectives that other people may view of the cultures. A couple things I would like to change in the district of Kalamazoo Public Schools is the violence, and fighting that happens throughout the school year. Many teachers have actually got hit or have had a very abusive experience among teacher there. I hope that through the years the violence changes and the weapons get left at home.
