How I Came Through
As soon as i began school in Grape Street elementary school i begin to realize the difference between a private and a ghetto school. Never in my life i seen gang signs I always was led to trouble because I didn't know that ever gang has their own rivals, Around 3rd grade i begin to become so tormented that i had fear of going to school i end up lying to my parents that am sick just that i can miss a day school. I thought it will get better as soon as I enter junior high i was incredibly wrong the kids just became even more violent I was jumped in several occasions, i never told my parents, my grades dropped in I barley made it out of Markham Middle School. But 9th was a whole different experience i finally went back to a private school, the only difference is it was in all boy school called Verbum Dei i did enjoy the school in the moment because the type of working experience it offered but i realized that i didn't belong there i was later transferred back to a public school called David Starr Jordan High School this school was public but it wasn't as i thought it will be i thought there will be fights everyday but it was pretty cool in clean it was probably the best 3 years of my life because it didn't had violence, it was all on to you on what career or future you want to be in.
