I have been a LEP high student for two years and I have poured countless hours into making my school a better place for myself and all those around. I used to do all in my power to avoid school when  was at lincoln. I skipped school and would not do my work. I have now a 92 percentage for my attendence and I have also raised my grades and learned alot in my two years. I have had many troubles in my years of school I have struggled my way through and now that I am at LEP I can only go up. If they close LEP I cant go back to a regular high school. If LEP closes I would have to drop out and get my GED. Someday I hope to be a cook or a photographer. My education at LEP has taught me many things and the most important was to follow my dreams and that is what I plan to do. I WILL FIGHT TO KEEP LEP TOGETHER SO THAT OTHERS CAN EXPERIENCE WHAT I HAVE!
