My First Days at Summit

Since I was young I always enjoyed going to school, I never went to a school this small before. As us students at Summit know we are “students at risk.” Some students use this as a crutch others as an opportunity to better themselves. Some of the students behavior here is quite atrocious, for simply the fact that they are in the system and they are using it to justify there actions. Other students I have met here are really doing there best to not only change or amend there actions but to change there attitudes and outlook on life in general.
I do not yet know what I want to get out of this school. I know what I have gotten out of it so far. I have gotten the look of life in my eyes once again as I have seen many times before now. I lived a “ghetto” or “hood” life, but I do not want to use that as a crutch. I do not want to be bound down by my substance, but I am clean and I still ache. I see some of the good hearted students here who have overcome the labeling and the temptations to lower themselves down to the overwhelming ignorance of the other students.
I know this may sound very pessimistic in the optimistic or the confronted readers, but this is my rightful opinion. Just as all the other students have the right to say what they need to. I want to hate these people I have the urge to even dislike them. As most of the students here have something to say to another student in a situation they once where in. Obviously people do not like what they have done or wish they could do so they need to bring others down to build themselves up. Ignorance brings war. The positive students in this school are noticed right of and maybe more people including me should be more like them.
