hello my name is Natalie Contreras and I attend Landmark High School. I’ve been in Landmark High School for 3 years i failed the 10th grade so that puts me in the 10th grade again. I enjoy being a student at Landmark because during my 3 years in this school i have met very interesting people and have been to lots of interesting places. During my freshman year i was very excited because i felt more mature because i was in high school. I became friends with everybody very quickly because of my fun personality and kind heart. In Landmark we have great teachers because they actually help you get to places in life. the experience in landmark is over all good because I’ve had fun learning new things each and everyday, Every Friday we go on trips you learn more about New York and you get to see lots of Museums and parks and this makes me proud of being a new yorker because of all the beautiful sites for example i didn’t know about Rockefeller center until i went and saw it and everything was beautiful.
The trips I am focusing are on Lizards and snakes alive ,The Feast Of Saint Gennaro, Rockefeller Center and the Film “Raising Victor Vargas”. When I went to the Lizards and snakes alive exhibit I saw lots of interesting creatures and unique lizards that knew nothing of before. During the Feast Of Saint Gennaro they had lots of delicious looking Italian food, good music, and entertainment. Its just a big celebration of Italian culture. Rockefeller Center was cool because of the large tree and the people around me, but it was a bit chaotic because of all the people with their cameras taking pictures of the moment. There’s an Ice-Skating Rink and lots of beautiful lights celebrating the holidays . When I saw Raising Victor Vargas it started off boring it got intresting because victor’s grandmother is very funny in the film and victor finds a girlfriend which pulls me in even more becuase puppy love is so cute to me, the movie reminded me of me and my boyfriend and how we have cute moments.
I think Landmark is a very cool and fun school for any teenager and they would be very lucky to attend this school because it opens your horizons about New York and it helps you learn how to travel around New York City.
