“Even when you're taking a lot AP classes and such, don't really take it too seriously.

Just have fun and join some clubs, but don't let your grades fall.” “We got to give out our thanks to Ms. Woods the best teacher on campus.”...

“If you want to show respect to your teacher you don't have to do too much effort, all you have to do is at the end of class give them a handshake and it means a lot to them --it gets you a long ways with them if you're struggling in school and that'll give them the extra push to want to give you help if all you do is give them a handshake and show them respect.” “It would be Scott Meikle; he helps me ...

I've been on like 14 field trips, other people have been on zero and he paid for our senior breakfast and he paid for all of our food he's really nice he cares for all of us”...
