I’ve never worried about the first day of school. I always show up with a smile on my face, never stressing about what my teachers would be like, who would be in my classes, or how difficult the class would be. ATDP was different. I was fortunate enough, or at least I thought, to not…
DetailsMy first week was by far the best week I’ve had this year. I’ve met so many people from my teachers Mr. Grossman and Mrs. Clark to the students around me at the house. We have shared so much and now grow living like a family. My first day at school was very funny.…
