After four years, ‘I will miss the people here who have helped me’

(02/28/16 4:00pm)

In September 2012, East English Village Preparatory Academy opened its doors to new students. I just happened to be one of the first freshmen to enter into this new academy in Detroit. My first week was hard because I didn’t know how to communicate with people, thus I didn’t have any friends. I wouldn’t even talk to teachers. However, before the month was even over, I had accumulated a small circle of friends. Slowly, I realized that I couldn’t go through life being afraid of speaking to people. So I bonded with teachers, staff and students.
