Everyone has certain views on high school because they have different experiences that will vary their thoughts and opinions—some good, and some bad, which alter each person differently.
Alysson Estes, a senior at Jackson High School, takes the readers through her perspective on high school.
The new phone policy is one of the most dramatic changes to Jackson High School this year. Some people think the phone policy is beneficial but when asked she disagreed.

“No, it ruins publications. We use our phones in many ways in publications, and now we can’t,” Estes stated. Although Estes doesn’t like the new phone policy, she's optimistically looking forward to her big day, and next steps into the real world.
“I’m excited to graduate, I don’t want to be in high school anymore and I want to move on with my life,” Estes stated.
Even though Estes is ready to move on and graduate, she will always have the memories of her favorite class. She not only loves this class, she has a job in the class as well.
“News production, because it is something I’m passionate about, and I’m getting paid to help out,” Estes stated.
Despite all of this, she's blessed to have the people in her life to improve this experience.
“My friends, I made a lot of new friends. I met many new people throughout high school, and I think all of my friends influenced me in certain ways and shaped me into who I am today,” stated Estes.
While Estes has made memories in the past, she is excited to see what the future holds.
