My High School? T-High

So you want to go to Tennyson High School? I'd recommend you don't. You would be getting yourself into some, ghetto, disrespectful, state controlled mess that can't even give you books from the past five years. Almost no one there cares about school. Almost everyone there either smokes or sells weed, and almost none of them really care about your best interest. Here's an idea of an average day at school for me. I get there at 7:45 AM, meet at the back of the school, go buy weed from a guy who's name I can't even remember now, and not go back till school's almost over. Good thing I found some friends who really had my best interest at heart, because if I didn't I probably wouldn't have graduated; despite the fact of all my teachers telling me how smart I am. There are some diamonds in the rough, good friends who would really have your back, but they're rare, so I'd advise to you to hang on to them for dear life, or ride solo. We had multiple gang wars, two race riots, and 3 principals at my time at Tennyson, but it wasn't all bad. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't have some fun at school. You find rays of sunshine in the school dances, school basketball games (because our football team SUCKED), and the occasional school sponsored event in the quad. You find good teachers like Mr.Ali who take a personal interest in students, especially black ones, in hopes of making a difference. So if you're willing to take on the bad, you'll definitely enjoy the good. The choice is up to you.
