Today was day two working with Overbrook High. Since the
first day, I was told that this school was “not-so-good” and I believed in the
overall assumption. But the more I invested my time in the school, I learned
that, it’s not the school that is negative, it’s the bureaucracy. Much goes
into a school to make it negative. The school district, for one, does not
provide much money for schools. There
are less teachers, counselors, security guards, and assistant principals. Two,
the school does not have updated and enough textbooks for all students. Three,
the students do not feel that the teachers or staff in the school care about
them. These are just a few things that I have understood that makes a school
feel negative, when in reality, it’s more than just the school district and its
problems. I am glad to be a part of this ASB program and learn more about how I
can impact a community by experiencing something like this.
