12th Grade
When I was looking for a school, I wanted a place where I could learn the way I wanted to learn. I wanted the comfort and freedom of knowing that my teachers are always there for me, that they care about me and would help me find what I was looking for.
That’s exactly what I’ve found at Greenhills: a caring, supportive community I can depend on anyone at Greenhills. We have a connection. Everyone has a goal and a determination to do well, but there isn’t competition to be better than someone else; it is about competing with yourself to be your best. That means, then, that I can relax and not worry about how other people are doing and how it affects me. At Greenhills we can all do different things, but whatever we do – sports, drama, Science Olympiad, or whatever else – we aren’t compared to others, just seen as the person we are.
At Greenhills I can be independent, I can be myself, I can think, learn and be whatever I want and people will support me for it. I love Greenhills, because it is allowing me to find out who I am.
