Friday, September 16, 2016

Honestly, I don't like this school very much. It seems like most of the people ("white" not trying to be racist here) are really mean/hate other people who aren't white. My brother and I speak Korean and these guys suddenly said stuff like "Why are they speaking another language? This is america. Then the next day they said "Dude there speaking a Chinese language again srsly wtf talk in English" or "Donald trump is gonna send them back so we don't have to worry about them" I hate this school and I am not having a good experience. This school is worst than other schools I've been to. Close Quote
