My name is Rayjean Otero. I am 11 years old, Puerto Rican and 5’4”. I go to the Eagle Academy for Young Men in the Bronx 3rd avenue. The school was built in a rough neighborhood to allow men of color a chance to learn. This is one of many reasons I love going to Eagle.
Eagle is not only just a school, but a brotherly community. Our school uniform is designed for us to take pride in our work. Every grade has its on specific tie, to represent how much we have learned from 6th to 12th grade. The majority of Eagle Academy students go to college.
I will now talk about how I feel in Eagle feeling-wise. My Eagle brothers make me feel welcomed and loved. If I have a problem, they help me. My teachers make me feel in a comfortable atmosphere to learn and ask questions. I’ve made more friends here than in a playground.
I have a few goals at Eagle. Due to the fact that the teachers put me in a good atmosphere, I expect 90’s for myself. I know for sure I’m going to college. My teacher Mr.West has helped me with writing for a website. Lastly, my science grade went from a 60 to a 90.
In conclusion, I expect more in seventh grade. I have more goals. I want higher grades. This is all thanks to Eagle.
