My high school

My freshman year in high school, it was pretty much the best. All the seniors parents were strongly involved in everything! The football team, band, drill team, UIL, all the other sports, all of these were greatly covered with parents and local fans. We were a 3A school at this time because we had the numbers! Then all the seniors graduated and all the parents and fans went with them. it was like our school wasn't even there. Our school lost students, team players, and grades. We sunk deep down into a 2A school and sucked at everything, the very next year! Just this last year did everything start getting back into the swing of things. Our school got funding from another school, because of the Robin Hood Act, I think. The take from the rich and give to the poor. We got a new assiant principle who wanted to change things around, just like the teacher in Stand or Deliver. He started getting the students modivated to do their work and active in organizations. McGregor's grades have started improving and more people are getting involved, so you don't just see the same people at every event. He has raised McGregor up so much in the past year that more people are starting to move there. So parent support is really important because if you don't have it for the school, and they don't support what their kids do then everything will fall!

Throughout My High School Career

Ok I typed up a blog for myspace and a blog for this on Word. Then when I went here to post it when I clicked to copy this one, it didn't copy and it posted the other one. My bad! Ok, now to what helped me through high school.


In high school I didn’t really have one teacher or one class that helped me out. I was in numerous activities so they pushed me to do my best in everything. The three main ones that I was in were: Band, FFA, and tennis. In band, I was drum major and the head clarinet. I made it to state two year for Solo and Ensemble and was active in every competition there was. In FFA, I showed goats every year, I was an officer for two years, and also competed in various activities. In tennis I was the head singles varsity player. While in these activities my teachers pushed me to my limits and showed me all my possibilities. In FFA, I went through many ups and downs with my goats, and I came to the conclusion that I wanted to help everyone with their animals, because I would never want someone to go through what I went through on my own. The details aren’t really appropriate for this, and if you really want to know I will tell you. But anyways, being in FFA and raising goats made me realize what I really wanted to do with my life.

Again, sorry I posted the wrong blog on here!!
