Mount Miguel High School: Motivation And Dedication

My research paper entitled Motivation and Dedication have given me an insight as to why Mount Miguel High School (MMHS) students do not strive for success or achieve a higher level of education.

These were my methods of a positive direct impact to engage the students learning
