My best experiences at Sahuaro High School consist of my junior year Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) involvement. I loved helping my athletic trainer at the time. I had already been in her class for 2 years taking Sports Medicine. I was very involved in that department of my school. My worst experience there was definitely the distractions and students. A lot of students just did not care about their education and distracted others from theirs. It was very irritating, but I did not let them stop me from trying to achieve high academic standards which I did.
I came from a small town in Utah where my high school didn't have more than a thousand students and this was a big change. I did go to school in Vegas for a few years but I don't believe I went to one as bad as Sahuaro. My counselor was consistently accusing me of lying over things and always getting into arguments with me. She tried saying she couldn't take 11 classes worth of credits because my school year was done in trimesters and not semesters. It was $4,000 worth of schooling that I had to argue with her in order for her to take my credits
I've really enjoyed my time at this school, and I've learned so many new things from teachers I've had over the years. I really love the majority of teachers I've had these past four years. I've met new people who have turned out to be amazing. I've met people who turned out to be not so great. Overall, I wouldn't change a single thing
