Favorite Memories at HOPE

I have a lot of memories at HOPE as I've been here ever since I was 3 years old, but one of my highlights would definitely be having our classes whilst sitting on tables since 271 was always flooded during rainy days, and girls catch boys in ELC.

I think I'll miss how informal we can be with teachers. I like how unique HOPE is where you can talk with teachers casually and for fun (both in and out of class).
