My Small School

From second grade to eighth grade I went to a small charter school where my graduating class was 24 people. The school was also environmentally-chartered where the school focused on sustainability, conservation and community service. I think going to this school shaped who I am because most people cannot say they have had the same experience. I also met people at this school that I am still friends with and teachers that greatly influenced who I am today. I think this school really shaped who I am because I spent 7 years there with the same people. I had such a small class I was able to get to know everyone really well.
Some of things I think I got from my school are acceptance and environmental responsibility, I also think that the people I became close with their shaped me to be who I am today. At my school acceptance was very important I think that has made me a very open-minded person. I also think that learning to be environmentally smart has shaped who I am because I think I more conscious of the impact I'm having on the environment.

  1. I went to a high school of over 4000 students. At graduation people walked across the stage in my graduating class that I had never seen before. Even after 4 years I had never met everyone in my graduating class. It seems to be a very opposite to your story, however I feel that coming from a big school helped shape me also. I went from a big school to a bigger school. I can only imagine that it might have been a bit of a culture shock coming from a tiny school to one of over 50 thousand people. Good for you.
