The West End
Kimberly Bowers
I want to talk about Bloom Junior High School. I was at Bloom, and I loved it because I was a teen mom and they had a GRADS program. It was really good. We got a lot of counseling and teaching us how to be parents via parenting classes.
My favorite teacher was Miss Womack. She was the home ec teacher, and she taught me a lot about self-care, and having courage and wisdom. She really helped me because I went through a lot growing up. My father died when I was young, and I was like a lost child. But when I went to Bloom, they taught me a lot.
