Orange county is truly special, the diversity within this district is genuinely unique! With this diversity, I was able to not only meet, but learn about so many cultures and backgrounds that I was unintentionally blind to before! Through Orange County, I was able to grow and mature not only as a young man, but as a student alike. There's not many changes I would make to Orange County as I feel that they are doing a great job with students now, I would only recommend more chances for the diverse cultures and communities to be recognized. Maybe a culture day or something of that sort, I feel that learning about these cultures and practices will open the minds of so many students that were oblivious to them before.
As an Italian exchange student, American schools have been an eye-opening experience. They prioritize mental health, offering readily available support and encouraging open conversations about well-being a stark contrast to the reserved culture in Italy.
The freedom and flexibility in American schools are liberating. Students are empowered to explore their interests, select elective courses, and participate in extracurricular activities that align with their passions.
Engaging teaching methods make learning enjoyable.
The student-centered care in American schools is commendable. Educators genuinely care about students' success and well-being, providing tailored support and additional resources.
However, the pressure associated with standardized testing can be overwhelming.
Overall, the American school experience has broadened my horizons and empowered me to explore my interests academically and personally. It's a refreshing departure from the Italian system."
