Carrying a toilet seat to the bathroom for a hall pass may seem a little ridiculous, but in retrospect I realize that it kept many of us from leaving class to waste time in the bathroom. Mr. Selzer took learning seriously and figured our best chance for learning would be in class rather than out.

Though I am not a NASA rocket scientist like the valedictorian of my class, Jennifer Deuling, an engineer for the Big three or a doctor like other people I went to high school with, I am proud of where I am today and it is all because of what Fremont Public Schools and its staff did for me.
