I had some struggles early in my high school career. I
came here to Community High and everything changed.
I am so grateful for the support of the teachers and
staff. It’s always been a life dream to join the Marines,
but I didn’t know if I could do it. I’m proud to say I will
begin training in September. This school has helped
me find my confidence. I know our teachers want us
to achieve our dreams and will help us in any way
they can. My advice to rising seniors is don’t give 100
percent; give 1,000 percent. It’s worth it in the end.

Academically, I wanted to aim as high as I could and
to challenge myself. Sometimes I challenged myself a
little too much with classes [while also working], but with
a little push in effort, I made it. High school was not at
all what you see in the movies, but I would not change
my high school experience for anything. The memories
and friends I made at T.C. Roberson are a precious part
of my life that I intend to keep with me. Next year, I’m
looking forward to attending A-B Tech.

I have been more than blessed when it comes to
my education and experience as a student. North
Buncombe High School has become a second home to
me. Because of my time here, the students and faculty
have become just like a family. The teachers have done
more than enough to help me prepare for my college
experience and are like friends to me. As I go off to
college next year, and in the years to come, I will never
forget where I grew up and what I experienced. I am
proud to call North Buncombe my home.
