My high school has become an everyday landfill. This has no relation to the school administrators or teachers. Trash such as gum‚ plastic wrappers‚ and bottles was being littered haphazardly everywhere on school grounds; especially‚ in the cafeteria‚ hallways‚ and restrooms. The most inevitable issue in my high school was the problem with students littering their gums.

My School Trip In the 1990s‚ I went to Regent elementary school in the Bronx‚ N.Y and was a B student. I wasn’t an honor roll student‚ though I believe I could’ve been if I had put in the effort to do so.

education is extremely life altering. My first day of elementary school my parents told me to be different‚ and be the change our black community desperately needs. From that day forward‚ I vowed to have a successful future‚ and defy the statistics. My entire life I have been categorized and put into a bubble filled with assumption. My destiny has been predetermined by those who wish to see not only me‚ but my entire race fail. Going into elementary school I was not able to fully grasp the concept
