My Big Trip

The biggest thing of my day has to be our trip to the local alternative school. I was amazed at the condition of it. The students were great! Each one was friendly and had their own special abilities and quarks, which made each very interesting. The one kid was an amazing poet, making a few of the students cry from his poem about his ex-girlfriend that passed away right after writing it. it was kind of surprising to find such a gem in a school like that. Now to the school, I can't believe that building is a school. From the outside, you wouldn't have any idea that it was a school. I t looks like an office building. It must have been at one point, because of two garage doors on one side. The classes are tiny and inadequately supplied. It is sad to me to see students in conditions like that. They fight through it though, proving how important it is to have good teachers and not just good surroundings.
