Meet Our Students

I look forward to growing a connection with my classmates and teachers. Without them, it wouldn't be possible for me to be successful. I also look forward to learning something new. Being in 3 AP classes has taught me time management and how to be successful in a college course.

During Speech and Communication, our focus was to learn how to give a speech properly and how to communicate with our peers. For our final we had to put ourselves in the shoes of a famous person, talk about one of the most memorable moments in his or her life, and dress up as if we were that person. I was Jackie Robinson so I was able to dress up as a baseball player. It was really cool to see all of my classmates dress up and present.

My Mom's an alumna, and she influenced me to come to Ramona because she wanted me to have the same experiences and learn the same life lessons that have made her so successful. She continuously inspires me to be the best person that I can be and to be as successful as possible. I aspire to be just like her.

My friends and the Ramona community at large make me feel at home. The support I receive makes difficult classes and busy schedules fun and enjoyable. I know they are always there for me, whether I need help on a homework assignment or just someone to laugh with.

One thing that stands out is the depth of the discussions we have in class. Being able to hear others' ideas as well as express my own in a comfortable and safe environment has greatly enhanced my learning experience.

My mother inspires me to be the best person I can be. She has always been level headed, able to see the bigger picture when I often can not. No matter what she may be doing or how tired she may be, my mother is willing to help other people, especially my sister and I. She is determined no matter what obstacles are placed in front of her, and she never loses sight of the greater goal ahead.

My favorite thing about being at Ramona is the comfort in the classroom and the environment. I love the trees and the cute little squirrels. The small size of my classes makes me feel comfortable asking questions.

I look forward to having a good laugh! Although I work hard in school, I love having a good laugh with my classmates and teachers if we find something to be silly. Overall, I look forward to having fun while learning.

My favorite Ramona tradition is singing the alma mater after the pep rallies. It’s a great bonding moment. I always look around at my friends and remember how grateful I am for them each time we sing it!

A moment in the classroom that really stands out for me is when a teacher makes sure that each student understands the lesson. It makes me feel cared about as a student and more confident in my work once I receive my teacher’s help.

My favorite thing about being a student at Ramona is that I get a lot of opportunities to participate in a variety of activities that stretch from clubs to the many forms of service. As an Ambassador, I am grateful for and enjoy the experience of welcoming guests as well as volunteering at Ramona’s fun events.

Each day I look forward to my Choir class as well as my Global Studies class. I especially relish the humor of my teachers who never fail to make my day.

A moment that really stands out to me in the classroom is when everyone is quiet and focused on learning.
