A Day at O'Dowd

The education at O’Dowd was pretty good; it prepared me physically and mentally for college.  The teachers there cared and offered lots of extra help.  Though there was high support, the curriculum was very difficult.  Lots homework was assigned from the different periods we had.  We at least had more than two hours of homework and studying in addition to pop quizzes, tests and rigorous papers.  Some of the high school years were a frustrating experience here depending on how smart and dedicated the student was.  As for the atmosphere, they tried to be lively and original in their humor and events outside of class.  However most of the events and rallies were dry and corny (well to me they were), though I had no clue of how the sports teams were since I only ran cross country and did not follow sports.  The students there were like people you'll meet everyday, either you like them or don't.  Of course like all high school culture, there were segregated groups according to popularity, race and status.  Now taking all this into mind, the experience can be what you make of it.
