If you are looking for a reason to die you have found it. Everyone is sassy especially the teachers. No one wants to be there, especially the teachers and it shows. If you are wanting to go there..... DON'T! Do yourself the favor of not applying. You have been warned. Jesus Christ is are lord and savior but, not there. They put way too much pressure on students. They bribe and make you soul crumble into pieces that can not be put together. They also will not expel or suspend the children of teachers. I hope you make the right decision and CLICK OFF!
