I feel VERY strongly about this school, were ALL family. I used to go to Madison High School, and it sucked. I felt like the teachers that I'd had  never cared about  me.  And  they didn't really help me when I needed it the most. 

So I wanted to start over; so when my grandparent told me about LEP, I was a little iffy about it.                                                            
I'm really happy that I'm going here now. All of the teachers that I've had in the last 3 years, they understand what my goals are in life and they know who I am they care. For once I'm caring about wanting to go to college, when I was at Madison I was just like forget about college thats not for me.

But I want to go to college now. I want to be the frist person in my family to go.
 My parents have even notice the change in my eyes about how I feel about my life to come, and I thank LEP so much to help me. I want to be a teacher when I get order or a fashion designer.

I'm learning soooooo much from my internship. I don't think Madison couldn't do that for me. BUT LEP can, I KNOW they can.

I've been here snice the very begining. And now PPS dosen't want to keep us open. They DON'T understand how many student parents teachers dreams....ect... they are killing. I started crying. I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO MADISON!!!

This school is the best thing for students. Please help us.

I DON'T WANT TO BE AWAY FROM MY FAMILY!!!! WERE ALL FAMILY!

Thank you. <3
