Self

Since Ive Been Here We Have Done Alot Of Stuff. It Its Been Nice And Speaded Out And Explained So It Can Be Done At Ease. Ive Been Behind In My Blogs And Havent Completed A Couple Scrapbooks.But On The Plus Side I Finished 2 Semester Classes Online, Got Good Grades On My Completed Work, And Showed Up For Class All But 3 Days.

Inhabitants

I Really Like Going To School With Fewer People. You
Get To Know Them Alot Better And Build Stronger Relationships. Going On Outings Really Shows More About A Person Than Just Being In the Classroom Habitat. I Think Its Pretty Cool Having Conversations With My Teachers That Arent Nessasarly Just Related To Grades. Conversations More Based On Life And Whats Going On In The World.

Crash Landing

I Ended Up At the Ike Box Because My Teacher At Roberts Saw That i Put Alot Of Time Into My Work And Was On Task A Majority of time, So She Asked Me If I Would Be Interested In Doing School At The Ike. I Didnt know much about it but i Didnt Like Roberts At All. I Felt Like A Kindergartner. Very Out Of Place. So I Transfered. I Like It Here Alot Better Than Roberts And Mcnary i Crashed Landed In The Right Place
