Why I Choose Animas High School
Attending Animas High School was not anything that I considered through middle school, in fact, I thought that it would be a terrible fit. I found out that DHS had cut their honors programs in Basecamp which was the SLC that I signed up for. Towards the end of the summer, I realized that time was ticking and it was time for me to decide which path I wanted to take with my education. Did I want to participate in the basic book learning, or take the risk of going to a project based learning facility? After endless conversations with my parents and friends, I made the difficult decision to test the waters with Animas. After two months, Animas has taught me not only educational curriculum but how to apply my learning to the community. I was terrified that I would be ostracized and I would have very few friends, but in fact its been the opposite. Overall, Animas has given me the opportunities that I would never have received at DHS. |
