What helped me be successful at Ombudsman West was the staff there that believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. What I liked most about West was the staff were on your side and that it’s at your own pace and they understood that life happens. The most challenging thing about high school is that sometimes it gets hard and it’s hard to stay motivated on the bigger picture that high school isn’t forever but if you need the help just find that teacher that understands the most and you will get through the hard parts of high school knowing that you have someone on your side.
