Throughout my life I have attended a variety of schools due to the aspect of me moving all the time. If I do recall I have attended a total of eleven schools in my life by far which is quite impressive. Each school I have attended is completely different when coming to atmosphere, diversity, and academics. The schools came in a mixture of good or bad but each left a major impression on me through the rest of my life.
I have attended schools across all regions of the United States and each school offered me something different. I realize each school fell in two categories either liberal or conservative and in each category the academics, diversity, and atmosphere seemed quite different and unique. Even when the schools differed I learn something new about how society and culture ran in that state and surprised me very much. I could say each state left a bit of each culture in me but I can’t be very certain about that. Each school changed me to the person I know now.
When I lived in the south the schools there fell in the category of conservative and had southern lifestyle highly influenced how school operated. From what my brother and I do remember how the school imposed a strict dress code policy rather than loose dress code of the north. So I learned a bit of that but what really intrigued me the academic aspect of each school. History in each state taught entirely different so I learned history in the eyes of the conservatives or liberals mindset which made me have a better understanding of each state. What truly unique came from the diversity of each school. Each school either mainly influenced by White culture, Hispanic culture, Black culture, or a mixture of White/Black culture. So each school entirely taught me about each region of the U.S and the cultures that affect them.
The schools came in a mixture of good or bad but each left a major impression on me through the rest of my life. The schools have left an everlasting knowledge of the surrounding cultures that make the U.S “a melting pot” I have learned so much and I better understand my fellow Americans and understand why certain people believe certain ideals or subjects each school has kind of made a diverse being in a sense.
I agree with the fact that schools can teach you a lot about the culture and ideals of that region. It definitely does show America as a "melting pot" because all of the different histories of that [lace.
