Fort is a very diverse feeling school since we are an international school we get most of all the foreign exchange students. Though many are respectful and normal students many are disrespectful and destructive and it seems to build a school culture of never having to be good but just "good enough". This culture is very bad considering nobody does anything to change it regardless of the efforts any of us put in nothing ever seems to come to terms with the other students. The athletic coaches are horrendous, teachers are terrible and facilities are unkempt. Some teachers are amazing and do try their best but many do nothing and actually support the ruggedness and stupidity some students represent. I feel saddened that I could not receive the high school experience many are able to. My class of seniors although is the most progressive and helpful class as of yet and I can hope that it only improve as time goes on. Overall I am very disappointed that the high school I have attended has been so rough but I also feel it molded me into the man I became today. I think I accept the people I meet now no matter the trifles they have faced and the experiences they may have had I can now see everyone is a person and that all have capabilities of no other regardless of the task.
