Thank you Bingham!
While it has not been a perfect three years it has been a good three years. I have been treated very well, though, it may be because I have only left the V hall when I have had to. I have loved almost every moment of school (except for when I had homework). I will remember these halls for the rest of my life as a place that has served me very well.
Over these many years I have had many great experiences like going and seeing Joseph and the amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat or seeing Les Miserable. Seeing the school plays has helped me realize how much work is put in by the students. A great example of this is from the people who are in the pit orchestra. They had an insane amount of time put into practicing with many nights staying at school until 8:00 PM with many of them having early morning symphony the next morning.
I have also had other great experiences in Skills USA. Skills USA has been a great experience by allowing me to compete against other people my age in auto mechanics at a regional level and welding fabrication at a regional and state level twice. These competitions have taught me to be more humble because there is always someone better and allowed me to have fun with my friends at these competitions. There was also Weber autotech which was great for teaching me how to work with a “client” and how to actually diagnose an electrical issue.
I have loved almost all of my classes over the years. Welding has always been one of the best ones. I have enjoyed welding because the teacher-Lucero- has been great at teaching me how to weld in ways I have never welded in before. And it has helped me get better at fabrication with many different projects. Some of these projects were some bent tube welding carts and a large frame table (a table that you use to build the frame of cars). These have helped me learn the different techniques with tube bending and welding. I have also had the amazing opportunities to write all of the welding plans for the welding classes and help paint some cars. While not very many other people get these opportunities in the class and you have to be willing to work to get these opportunities they have been great for me and I would always do them again.
I have also loved Auto. I have been able to learn everything I can about cars. I have also had the amazing opportunity to compete in Weber autotech because of my participation in class. I have also got the opportunity to learn how to rebuild a ford C6 automatic transmission. This has been an especially amazing experience because I was able to be taught by the teacher from Salt Lake Community College. Along with the others I have had a great chance to work on many cool cars and the amazing opportunity to use the schools brand new Smithy.
Newspaper has been a great opportunity for me because it counts as a language arts credit and is tons of fun. I almost transferred out of the class because I thought it was going to be lame, However, I have loved my time in newspaper because of how well we get along. Newspaper has been a great opportunity because I have learned more about the goings on of the school and have gotten closer to the other 4 students in the class. I have no regrets on taking the class and am glad I listened to my sister and took it. I will recommend it to anyone needing a senior year LA credit.
Bingham High school has treated me well and will always have a special place in my heart. I will always remember the halls and the amazing relationships I have built with friends and teachers, and the great projects that I have contributed to the school. I have loved my time here and will always try to do as the hymn says “Always remember the blue and the white”.
