How O.L.O.W. Has Helped Me Grow

Our Lady of Wisdom is a great school. I have been a student here at O.L.O.W. since I was in kindergarten, and I absolutely love it. O.L.O.W. is a very small school, which is something I adore. Considering that it is so small, everyone knows who you are, and so, all of the teachers know you. All of the teachers at O.L.O.W. are so great. Whenever something is confusing, they are always willing to help. On the other side though, whenever something confuses a student, when the student who was confused finally understands it, the teachers will be right there congratulating them.
One teacher who personally helped me to grow at O.L.O.W. was Ms. Danz. Ms. Danz was the old 7th grade teacher at O.L.O.W. She only taught at my school the 2012-2013 school year, but I was one of the students that was lucky enough to have her. I am in the 7th grade now, so she was never my homeroom teacher, but I did have her for my favorite subject, science. She was an amazing teacher. She knew how much I loved science, and she did so much for me by helping me to understand it better, letting me do things that were really fun, and sending me to a camp for it. Over the summer, she sent me and three friends of mine to a camp just for science at Saint John’s University. It was awesome! See, what Ms. Danz did, was not only increase my love for science, but help me form three friendships that will last a lifetime. Overall, Ms. Danz showed me how much I could do and helped me grow here at O.L.O.W.
I also think the school, as a whole, has helped me grow for a lot of different reasons. Mainly I think that because it is such a small school, as I said earlier, you know everyone just as everyone knows you. No one is left out or is just another person in a classroom at O.L.O.W. Everyone knows who you are and cares about what you think. Because of that, I think there is a community, a family. That’s one of the reasons that I love O.L.O.W. Overall, O.L.O.W. is a great school and in the eight years I have been a student here, I have grown and learned so much.
