I have just moved to the United States for nearly 2 years and spent these years at Sam Houston High School. I was taught a lot in this second home because I can see a change in myself including my English skills, have new relationships and especially I can connect with teachers at here. They are really good and friendly. I am grateful for their patience to help me at school because when I first came here, my English is really bad. Due to their encouragement, I am I right now. I would say Sam Houston High School will be a good memory in my mind and it does not change forever.
