But when I think of the 13 years I’ve spent here, I honestly couldn 't imagine it being spent at any other school. Regardless of how much I may hate it at times it has been m second home. Lake Hamilton School District has been an amazing place to grow up overall, but sometimes it wasn 't so much fun. I would say 3rd grade was my worst year at Lake Hamilton.

Lake Hamilton School District has seen me grow from a nervous and excited kindergartener into an anxious independent young adult. Although the road to getting here wasn’t the easiest I have learned many life lessons along the way. I have learned that you will lose and gain best friends along the way. I learned the best friends you thought you could trust may eventually stab you in the back.

I have learned to always give people a chance because it 's the person you never thought you would be friends with that could end up being your best friend. I have also learned that coming from a wealthy family or being a star athlete can get you a long way and help get you out of trouble. One of the most important lessons I have learn is to stop caring what people think of you because there will always be someone who doesn 't like you and some people are always going to talk about you behind

The first lesson I learned is there are true friends and there are toxic friends. A true friend is someone who will always be there for you no matter what the circumstance and will turn you away from anything harmful. A toxic friend is someone not worth having in your life because they will get you into more bad than good. I also learned that you should never trust anybody or their judgment until you truly no them. Those you think you know can take advantage of you and cloud your judgement.
