Memorial High School made unity with the school called Woodrow Wilson Early College. Everyone is nice and shows determination on how college will be like in the university. Each AP class is dual credits, yet there are top 10 students who earned Phi Beta Kappa in Graduation. All I want is for this school to matter most to upcoming students is to show the importance of hard work and discipline that followed them. I made friends, applied for scholarships, honor recognized figures, and prove worth by earning a high GPA. When I go to Lamar University in Fall 2021, I need to accomplish a Bachelor of Science in Pre-Med because of my opportunity as a Family physician. My family depended on me since I was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3 for a mistake as a deaf child. Not talking until 6 years old, I spent reading books related to non-fiction and literary fiction. As time progresses, the life I dream of can happen if sacrifice is put in as an NHS member and Young Men of Excellence ballot.
As a senior in the class of 2021, I may admit that my tenure here was largely ineffective. This is due to the school's decision to operate their facilities in this manner. Even though the football team never had a huge attendance, the football team earned a large portion of the school's budget. They did, however, see some improvements this year as compared to previous years. Another thing to remember is that students would often congregate to share substances, often going so far as to use them in class. I assume the teachers and administrators were aware of the situation and chose to ignore it. They have every right to keep stuff hidden behind closed doors. Thankfully, Covid did us a favor this year by putting an end to the fights that used to take place within the school, which were normally 3-4 fights per week. Another thing to keep in mind is that people you believe are your mates aren't. "Salt looks a lot like sugar," as the saying goes.
Memorial High School has many things that I wish Memorial High School would change. The faculty and teachers are as good as you can get in a low income neighborhood. The senior counselor that I have is excellent and actually listens to what issues I am having. Though, there are alumni of mine that kept complaining of the other school counselor is terrible. I have heard that she wouldn't respond to student emails/calls, she has blocked some of their numbers to avoid answering, and other information that I can't remember at the moment. There are some teachers that excel at their job and I am proud to have them as a teacher, sadly, when their is a good there is a bad. I currently have teachers that don't really care about teaching their class and instead do nothing. I feel like those two are the most important things that need to be fixed in order to have a better school experience. There is nothing much I have to say about the other school features, majority of it is pretty average.
