Recently I have shared some devastating things, but now I have to share something good and new!
I go to Academy of Hope: Monday through Thursday 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the winter and now Monday thru Wednesday for the summer. We’re going into computer applications over the summer in addition to the usual reading, social studies, science, math, and writing. I usually do best in reading, but was surprised to receive an award in math for going up five grade levels!
I really like school; the people don’t put you down. I’ve been going, maybe 6 months and I should finish in another 6 months to a year and earn my GED. Winning this award makes me feel like I can finish school and gain my GED, which would help me get a job. While I need the help with a job, it’s more important to me to finish something.
Learning is fun at Academy of Hope, not boring like it was when I was young. The teachers really take time with us and you can tell they care. Nobody puts you down either. The other students like learning too, and are willing to help as much as they can.
One day somebody just told me that the Southeast Academy of Hope had a good reputation so I really wanted to look into it and I’m glad I did.
