Makenna Murray ’10

I can remember walking into Oakland Tech for the first time. It seemed enormous; it was like the rooms kept moving around. It took me a week to figure out where my classes were. By the time I left, it felt so intimate, so homey. But I was ready to leave. I think it’s a sign of success that after your allotted time you not only want to leave, but feel ready to. I feel so grateful to the Tech community for building me into a capable, responsible and compassionate individual. From the attendance office staff to security and my own teachers, and friends, thank you, all.
