5. Reflection • Our community at Tech Boston is like the community in Boston because the population in our school, also there some dropout students, and because some students do have finical problems. .Even though we have some of these problems we still try to help each other with them. Like with some students maybe drop out teacher or administrator try to prevent them of doing it. Then the population in this school is big but it doesn’t affect us really. Lastly finical problems because sometimes some students families might not have enough money so in this school there is a lady to help them get a job. • Our community at Tech Boston is different from Boston community because there sometimes you are your own. But for Tech Boston your not alone because there is someone for every person. Boston community also is a bigger population than Tech Boston. Lastly Boston community is not as much a community as Tech Boston.
