This is my academic journey: Middle school was a hard few years for me. I was struggling with self-discovery and mental illness. I was also bullied pretty heavily in Brian Station before switching to Crawford. It built character for sure but come 8th grade, i was ready to get out of there. When i started freshmen year i broke it off with my toxic ex and tried to start over. Freshman and sophomore year was a mix of failing my classes, skipping, and a run of horrible partners and friends. Long story short, i regret my choices in those 2 years. Junior year i made a pact with myself that i would get it together, go to class, and keep up on my work. Partly because i felt like i could do better, but mostly because I didn't want to mess up a chance to switch schools. After winter break, i started at TLC for my second semester of junior year, and I LOVED it. I was getting amazing grades, breezing through assignments, something i never thought i could do. I met a lot of great and supportive people, students and teachers alike. The school made gave me an outlet to be myself and i started to like coming to school. This year, I'm graduating... It's scary but honestly I'm ready to get the hell out of here. Senior year has been such an amazing experience in this school. I'm so exited about walking that stage (Hopefully with a 4.0) and being done with the wild world that is high school..
I had been interested in TLC since 8th grade but i never got around to applying. Struggling to hard at Fredrick pushed me to come here, and it was one of the best decisions of my life and i regret not putting in the effort to apply sooner. I love it here and I'm passing with flying colors. I see so much diversity at this school, things you wouldn't dream of seeing in a public school. I think its amazing how comfortable people are here, they can be themselves, and it made me feel super welcome.
