A local issue of great concern to me is my school. The school is of great importance to me because it has been having several issues that have been affecting the school’s reputation. Since Mr. Ochoa had an incident and was removed from his position the school has been having incidents of greater impact to our school. The first important incident was when a football player from the school got sexually assaulted by about five other members of the football team. This rapidly became of great controversy because the school decided that the incident was horseplay. The school clearly tried to make the problem smaller by trying not to make it sound as bad as it actually was. However, instead diminishing the problem it made the problem bigger because many people felt insulted since the school made the conflict sound as if it was not that important.
Then about a month later a former teacher at the school was arrested for possession of methamphetamines. The investigation is still going on right now; however, the school’s reputation has already been damaged by the news. I am starting to worry if the school reputation can affect mine in the future. What if knowing that I attended this school makes me a bad candidate for attending a good university. Also, how would the community see all of us who attend the school? Most people make generalizations, this means that people think that all the students from Castle Park High School sexually assault people and are doing drugs. It is important that we as students try our best to show the world that we are not who they think we are. We need to show that we are capable of many great accomplishments and that the reputation that goes with the school does not affect us and who we are.
