![I think my passions have stayed the same but I’ve definitely grown and learned a lot especially about Westwood, academics in general but I’ve enjoyed the year I’ve really had. I would say also more mature, and also academically I think I’m smarter just because I’ve learned from a lot of people, a lot of students, a lot of teachers and theyve really helped me grow. Honestly, yeah I really do [think I met my goals]. My grades have been pretty good this year, there’s been some points where I shouldn’t have procrastinated as long, but I learned from that and that’s okay. Even though the friend-making process has been slower than I’ve imagined I still have made friends. I’m enjoying IB but I plan to drop out after my sophomore year just because it’s not what I want to do, but I’m glad that I have the opportunity to go to WAS and next year APUSH and just learn from that but I plan to drop. I’ve always had that goal [of being an entrepreneur] since I was 8 or 10, I kind of had it set for a while, but through the principles of business, marketing, finance I’ve learned a lot more than I’ve thought in that class honestly, so I think it’s clarified that point even more that that’s what I want to do.](https://westwoodhorizon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_0008.png)
