Throughout all four years of my time at John F. Kennedy high school I was a part of the Band program. Being a member of the Band program has taught me so many key aspects of working well with others and how to be a proper leader when I became Drumline Captain/Section Leader during my senior year. All of the teachers that I had throughout my four years at Kennedy were some of the most dedicated, responsible, caring, educated, and well-rounded educators I have had the honor to be instructed by. All of my academic success is due to the great teaching staff that I had access to at John F. Kennedy, as it was their special ways of teaching and understanding that helped me become the class of 2020 Salutatorian. Although there are many great aspects at John F. Kennedy high school I will admit that I would love to see a more equal amount of funding and shared respect towards other club activities and organizations with their needs and achievements instead of primarily focusing on major sports.
It was an amazing experience! Being part of the band, soccer team , and the Police Explorer program was great! I like the way the directors and the coaches motivated us to never give up. The environment around me either when I'd practice outside in the sun for band learning my drills and music, when I would practice on the field with my teammates, or learning new police tactics with my fellow police explorers, my brothers and sisters in blue, was the best feeling ever. That same environment and feeling were also in the classrooms. Even if I didn't understand, the teachers will explain the subject or problem until I'd understand it. It's just a moment you'll never forget.
Although I have ton of school pride as an alum of graduating class of 2015, I Wish this school could offer more. Going off to college, I was not prepared for anything that came my way. As a first generation student I had no idea what I was signing up for, little yet getting myself into. When individuals ask me what high school I attended, the face they make makes me feel embarrassed. Although it's not where I came from, its what I make myself out to be. If you ask me, i'm turning out to be a very complexed, bright individual. Thats the main goal.
