I came into Bartow my junior year after I had trouble in my home life. I transferred over from Haines city high school where I grew up with most the people I went to school with. Transferring over to bartow, I was so scared but it was so incredibly welcoming. I met some amazing new friends and the teachers were amazing. My best experience was being apart of chorus and working as a TA, where I was able to continue being a part of something I love and met some really amazing friends. The worst was probably when I did dual enrollment because it was sometimes really hard to keep up online classes and try to enjoy my senior year of high school. I honestly wouldn’t change anything because I think I made the most of my experience at Bartow.

While at BHS I have experienced many ups and downs in being enrolled here. A specific highlight of my experience here were the people I have met whilst attending this school, from the faculty and staff to the student body, I have met many positive influences here at this school that have aided me in preforming better in school. On the flip side a massive negative of my school is how severely underfunded our extracurricular activities and sports are. I was a part of a sports team here in Bartow and whilst it was fun and an amazing experience, my fellow athletes and I were held back by the lack of funding provided to us. We made our outdated equipment work and excelled in our program, nevertheless. One thing I would like to see be changed is the extent to which clubs are funded so that everyone has an equal opportunity to excel in their pursuits and hobbies, allowing their talents to come to fruition.
