Taking a look back...
My experience over the few years that I've been here at TBA has been very rocky. I've made friends at this school that I am sure will be lifelong friendships. This school has certainly turned me into a better person; the teachers at this school have opened my eyes. First arriving at this school was atrocious for me. I remember the first week of school Junior, and I witnessed a stabbing on peace value road; this put my family and me in high shock. I was worried about attending this school; I was an honor roll student from the more out parts of Boston who has not been exposed to this type of behavior. I felt very out of place in Dorchester; it only took a few weeks for me to feel the warmth from my peers. Freshmen year is by far my favorite year of attending this school. The Reason, teachers, tried more to satisfy the students, more time was put into grading our assignments, everything was different freshmen year. As the years started to progress, I have to grow to become more and more disappointed in how this school operates.
I am furious with how my school has transformed over the years. I am not proud to say I am a fellow graduate from TechBoston Academy. TechBoston Academy has limited many its students to learning at a very slow and unsteady rate. There have been multiple moments that in class my classmate would sit bored and eager to learn more. Me as a person, I've always needed challenging tasks to keep me motivated, the workload has been so easy attending this school that I lost motivation or school mid junior year of high school. Hearing my friends that visit BLA & O'Bryant is constantly bragging about new programs, their curriculum etc., started to get under my skin. I was a young boy just trying to succeed and be successful in whatever I wanted to study. I have colossal dreams, but I refuse to be a dreamer; I shall be a doer. The summer after junior year I sat down with my father as his sickness began to worsen, my exact words to him were I promise I will be successful to make you and grandma proud... Ever since that day, I have found motivation in school & success through the money that I know I will receive if I push myself.
