Dear NAI,

It seems like every school year goes by rather quickly, but my freshman year has gone by the fastest out of my almost 10 school years here at North Allegheny. The very first day of the 2018-2019 school year, I walked in the doors of NAI and was overwhelmed with the huge population of our school. It was also easy to recognize the great uniqueness of our school.

I was able to meet great people between students, teachers, counselors, ext. I was able to have a fun at NAI while get a great education. My grades have been better than they have ever been. That proves how great the teachers are here at NAI. The teachers are very easy to talk to and personal. It’s easy to talk to anybody in this building.

Since my 9 months of being a part of NAI, I have been able to meet many new people that I can relate to and have fun with. There is never any trouble between us and I hope it stays the same. The moral here is to surround yourself with good people which I have been taught since day 1. It really does pay off.

As I picture my future, I can see my next 3 years of high school being even better which sets me for lifestyle in my adulthood that would be perfect for me.
8th graders moving their way into high school may be nervous for freshman year like I was. But after the first few weeks of school, they will realize of how great NAI really is. It’s easy to say that I am excited for my sophomore year which I think will be even better than this year. For all of them, I highly recommend getting involved with different courses and clubs. You will meet great people and have the best time you’ve ever had in school.

The stereotypes for high school may be true in some other schools. The high school typical stereotypes consist of scary jocks, mean cheerleaders, many cases of bullying, and more. NAI has the ability of proving all the stereotypes do not apply in NAI and as years go by and new students come in and out of the district, no matter what this will not change.
