When I first started high school I Thought I was going to love it boy was I wrong on that one. Freshman and Sophomore year were ok but definitely the best years of my high school experience. When Junior and Senior year came around i absolutely despised them. All in all my high school experience was a mix of good and bad. Freshman and Sophomore year I had my two favorite teachers in my entire school career. Freshman year I had Ms.Parker for health and she was the most chill and laid back teacher I’ve ever had. She amazed me with the way she connected with her students students. Whenever someone would never threatened to get the student in trouble instead she would listen to what the student would have to say and do her best to fix the issue.
Sophomore year i had Aristotle for english honors and boy was that class something. I wasn't the best student in his class in fact i hardly did any of his work at all but the way he talked about the day's topic kept me going back to his class everyday. He rarely ever taught us the actual curriculum instead he would talk about life and teach us life lessons which I found fascinating.
Junior year was the year i started to dislike the Monterey High School system. I was in
Art Careers Academy and because of this Monterey High forced me to be in a digital photography class. I was okay with that at first but that was because I didn't know how
crazy the teacher was. She would give us assignments and would tell us to use our imagination but if she didn't like your piece she would have you make it a way she liked so the piece would become hers and no longer yours. My buddy and I tried to drop the class multiple times but the principle made it a mandatory class for all junior Art
