"My experience at East High School" by Jessica
R. Brown
"I started my journey at East High School at
the end of third quarter of my sophomore
year; I had been homeschooled for 7 years
before. I was a little apprehensive about
high school, since I had not been in a school
building for years. My first day was
confusing and I had no idea what general rules
were, like asking to use the restroom and the fact
that raising hands was optional; luckily, Natural
Helpers walked me through my class schedule so
that I would not get lost in the halls. I
did not know how well I would do in school, but,
fortunately, I was determined and that is what
helped me get the grades I truly desired.
East High School helped shape me as a person
because of its diversity of people, the academic
opportunities and the openness of its students.
East High School helped shape me as a person
because of its diversity of people. East
High School has a wide range of ethnicities, which
promotes acceptance from peers. I was very
lucky to join East because it helped me build on
my previous knowledge that race does not
matter. Race is not the only point of
diversity; students range in their knowledge of
everything from the arts to science and
math. It can even be something as simple as
the way people dress that make East diverse.
East High School helped shape me as a person
because of the academic opportunities. I was
almost overwhelmed with all the great
opportunities that East had; there were
choices from dual credit at Rock Valley College to
after school tutoring. I did not take
advantage of these offers because I had to catch
up on credits from the years that I was not in
high school; nothing from my homeschool experience
was transferrable. I began getting A's as
soon as I started high school; by the end of my
first semester, I was so proud of my report card
that I put it on the fridge and it is still there
today. I continue to receive good grades; in
my entire high school career, I have received only
two B's, the rest of course were A's. This
may sound like I'm gloating, but when you have
worked as hard as I and many other students have,
you deserve to talk about it.
East High School has shaped me as a person
because of the openness of its students. I
have made many friends during my time at
East. My friendships have not only made me a
scholar, but a kinder and more open person.
My peers at East have always welcomed me with open
arms; they have helped me through tough times and
will continue to be there for me. I am truly
grateful for not only my peer's support, but my
teacher's as well.
I was, indeed, lucky that I fell into East High
School's District. If I had not gone to
East, I would not have the friends and the
academic standing that I do today. Because
of its diversity, academics and friendships, East
High School has helped shape me as not only a
person, but a leader. I will never forget my
time at East and the lessons I have learned."
