After my parent teacher conference I felt scared. My mom kept on insisting that maybe I should not take Innovation Academy next year. A flashback from the past months here passed before my eyes. I realized how much I learned after joining the academy. I started doing stuff, it wasn't me siting and scrolling down through Google and then copy and pasting information for a report. It's actually me going and learning through real life experiences. It was surprising because I felt that this program prepared me for real life since I was actually using communication and social skills. How many times can a student actually have all these opportunities?
I looked at my mom in the eyes and told her what I felt about Innovation Academy. I told her how I was able to pursue my passion for learning as stated in the FDR Mission Statement. I kept on telling her how I woke up every day wanting to go to school and if I was tired or sick I did not care, I just did not want to get behind on work. I was actually having fun in school. Sounds weird right? I went to school and enjoyed learning. I liked how I got to manage the Facebook and Twitter pages and it was all under my responsibility and everyone trusted me in that. I liked the idea on how we were all people from different friend cliques, yet in class we came together as a family. A smile came on my face as I was talking and a split second later I received a hug from my mother. She told me how she is always going to support me but if she thinks something is not good for me she'll say it.
And all though I believed her, I had a complaint for her on that. My mother is not involved in my school work at all. I feel that if she gave me that extra push that I need and helped me step out of my lazy zone I could become a better learner and student. She agreed and told me that she will try to get more involved.
The Innovation Academy has had a very positive impact in my life. I feel that I am actually learning and that it isn't like in Humanities where we learn about something, take the test, and then instantly forget it. These things are sticking in my head and I feel that I will remember them. I am really liking the Innovation Academy and I feel that it has helped me develop as a learner in so many ways. I am really happy that I chose to join.
