My high school was a private educational school. I transferred there from a public school at the start of my junior year. It was a complete different environment. I was not use to this type of community at all. I did not want to go there. I was forced to attend this school because it was my last opportunity after being expelled from my previous high school. The traditions that I carried from my freshman and sophomore year did not mix with the ones this high school had. Not attending class was no longer an option if I wanted to receive my diploma. The people I now interacted with everyday were completely different then the people I had associated myself with before. The things that I disagreed with the most were having to cut my hair, shaving my mustache, and wearing hideous uniforms that made me look weird. The men could not have hair like women did and could not grow facial hair while being a student. But besides all that the school in general grew on me, as well as my teachers. It became more of a learning community to me. I was given the tools and support to reach my goals of graduating from high school and receiving my diploma.
Mario I attended a private school as well, so I understand what you mean about having to wear ugly uniforms and be around some people you didn't feel comfortable around. However, I didn't have facial hair when I first started high school so I wouldn't know exactly how that felt either. But high school is always a pivotal point in most peoples life and the fact that you stuck through it even though it got hard shows a lot about your character and I commend you. That time made you who you are today and you will go very far in your life.
