Living in Texas, I have found that the saying "the bigger, the better" doesn't always ring true, especially when it comes to my high school experience. I go to an enormous high school with about 900 kids in my graduating class, and although being surrounded by that many kids sounds like an unlimitless opportunity to make friends, for me, it was quite the opposite. One of the reasons was the lack of diversity and the fact that the African American population is less than 1%, which made the experience extremely isolating. The school can improve by increasing its diverse representation and being there for students of color when they are experiencing the racism that often entails. Although I felt alone in many of my high schools, that loneliness allowed me to indulge in the numerous advanced courses the school offers, which I believe is its most admirable quality.

In the past 3 years of attending Lake Travis High School, I've been able to connect to many people with the same culture as me due to the visible diversity the school has, something to recognize is how welcoming the school and teachers are to immigrant students like me; Having them into the path of success. It gave me such a pleasant experience, but now that it is considered part of the upcoming senior class of 2025, I can certainly say that the school's desire to offer sufficient guidance for seniors in the process of college applications is not enough. I’ve been finding myself lost in this unknown journey of applying to college and especially scholarships, due to the lack of information given by the head of school representatives, I think this information should be provided by the school even if most of their kids do not require financial aid, there is a significant portion of students who do need the financial support to pay for college and they are not being guided.

My overall experience with Lake Travis High School provided me with numerous opportunities but little to no social culture.
Lake Travis High School has many clubs, organizations, and resources that can elevate their students and help them stand out to colleges or different paths after high school. However, I struggled to find my place socially due to the lack of diversity and similar mindsets throughout Lake Travis.
