What activities were you most involved in during high school?
I was most involved with art classes and projects
Which teacher/class/experience had a profound impact on you, and why?
Being put in IEP classes had the biggest impact on me. I was able to get some extra help with learning and those classes had me around less students; which was better for my anxiety and I was not bullied anymore since I was around a different set of students. The remediation classes helped me learn what I forgot and I went from failing all my classes to getting at least c's and up

Being able to use the supplies in the art room and learning new art methods

College might not be the best option for me but I may enroll in an online art college and go into graphic design, my main focus is to find a job and save up for a house and my plans may change later on.
