With the increased student population, it will better help me prepare for college.
The average amount of students in an American college is 6,365 versus Whittier Christian’s measly 350.
With the significant increase of student density, I will be able to socialize more and prepare mentally for college whereas Whittier Christian does not offer the same benefit.
In Dave Bergmen’s article 𝑰𝒔 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑨 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑺𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒍 𝑨𝒅𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝑰𝒏 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒆 𝑨𝒅𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔, he states that “The question of whether to send your child to a public or private school is one that only you can answer—every teen’s strengths and needs are unique and different children thrive in different environments. However, we do strongly believe that more parents of intelligent and talented young people should seriously weigh the public option against these more conventional pathways to highly-selective colleges.
According to the La Serna official website, I need: 3 years of math, 4 years of English, 4 years of History, 2 years of LOTE, 1 year of art, 3 years of science, and 2 years of PE.
Guess what? I have those requirements already met! (Well almost)
All I need left is to take the same classes I have at WC and for senior year I will need just 1 year of History and English. I can fill my schedule with ther classes as well.
In conclusion, the switching to La Serna will not only ensure a good education, but it will also ensure that I will have a better two years than the ones previous socially.
I know this presentation has made you guys cry (its ok, I know it was an emotional journey), but I truly hope you take these points into consideration and give it a second thought. Thank you and love you guys always.
