Senior Year

I was reminded today that we only have 16 days left of school as seniors. I can honestly say I have enjoyed my four years at Deerfield High. Having the privilege of going to a great high school with great teachers made me really appreciate our community. It made me think about "no child left behind" which I believe is very false. There are many kids that don’t have the privilege that we at Deerfield High school have. They don’t have the resources or the caliber of teachers that we do. I hope that most kids take advantage of the privileges given to them. There is a big problem in schools today, because not all kids are given the same opportunity as they should be. My aunt teaches at an under privilege school in Michigan and she told me that the kids come to school with no food and not enough money to get a lunch. People need to be reminded that what is given to them are special, and the kids at Deerfield High School need to take advantage of a great situation.
