My experience here at BMI for the past 11 years has been unimaginable. Because of the amount of time that I’ve been her, I have a personal relationship with every teacher. Each teacher takes out the time to assist each student the best way possible. Every school year Mrs. Mayes and the staff come up with new ideas on how to improve the school in different ways. For example, organizations and youth programs within the school, fundraisers, and extra curricular activities. Although the students give the teachers an arduous time, their passion for teaching does not go away! Each teacher tries their best to make the lesson understandable to the student and doesn’t stop until this goal is reached.

In entering my final year here at BMI, I would like to thank Mrs. Mayes for her dream of having a successful school that educates children. I would also like to thank my teachers for taking their time in teaching me what I need to know to get through life. Lastly I want to say without Mrs. Mayes, my loving teachers, and my parents I don’t know where I’d be today…
