I have grown to University Preparatory. It has opened my mind to endless possibilities and opportunities. This school not only prepares you for college but prepares you for (as cheesy as it sounds) ...life!
Seriously though, waking up at 5:50 in the morning every week? It sure helps me manage my time more efficiently. Of course it's torture, but you know what they say: the early bird gets the worm!

I honestly love my school. the campus may be a little rough around the edges, but everyone here is really clos. There is always really good teacher-student relationships, and no one has any real problems. Academics are really good if youre all about trying your hardest, and everyone is willing to help out if you dont understand something.
