Risks- I'm actually pretty proud of this decision. I wasn't a huge fan of the environment at The Lexington School. High expectations, too much hand-holding, and way too much homework made it a very uncomfortable place for me. I never realized I could enjoy school until last year here at Henry Clay. It also didn't help that I was kind of a fish out of water, just a regular middle-class kid among the upper crust of Lexington society. Everyone was pretty much the same person and anyone who was even slightly different was shunned. To say the least, I grew to hate social classes. Coming to Henry Clay was like a breath of fresh air. I met new, exciting, and different people. I had larger classes and quickly learned how to operate on my own. I pursued my interests and met like-minded and interesting people as a result. Granted, some of this is just part of growing up, but I feel like I wouldn't have had the same experience at a place like Sayre or LCA. Sure, there are some obvious downsides to HC, but all things considered, I think I'm in just the right place for me.
