I was in a different high School for 4 years and change to this one for my BTEC. I prefer this one because of the form of the courses and the pedagogy. A welcoming supervision of teachers and staff
My study experience was one concentrated on creative writing, and specifically, careful attention to craft and fiction. I value the experience I have had at Allegheny College, and how my courses challenge me, providing demanding work that ultimately rewards my efforts. In other words, when I put in the work--I always attempt and succeed at that--I achieve new and higher understandings about the world. In this sense the college works, so much so that there is nothing that does not work. I am grateful for the knowledge I have acquired at Allegheny.
