I have to admit, I am very grateful for my education when I read about the children in Camden. We have maybe one drop out a year, and yet they have hundreds. How can people just let this happen? What ever happened to no child left behind? Wouldn’t that work out there? My school is like a university compared to Camden, and we have far few students. The only issue we have is teacher salaries, and most teachers are barely scraping by at our school. The principle however makes about 60000 a year; a teacher is lucky to get half of that. There is something wrong there, anyone can point that out but nobody really says anything.
I always had good teachers for writing and reading, but it was not until high school when I got interested with it. Mrs. Harden was one of my favorite teachers, she could find the best in anyone, and she always made us laugh, thanks to her, I really enjoyed writing stories and reading.
With college, I did know what to expect for my education. Long nights of studying for countless test, days without any sleep, struggling keeping grades up, but it is worth it in the end. To get that college degree is my goal, but its not just earning your degree but what you do with it.
The best thing about my high school was that the teachers actually cared what happened to us, they helped us in everyway possible, about 4/5 of my graduating class is in college right now, that’s a pretty impressive number
