Innovations Academy

            Just thinking about how great my school is for me. I learned so much more than I thought I would. At the end of the day I usually end up thinking, "Wow, today was so easy. I didn't even learn anything." But then I realize, wait, I learned so much more than I ever thought I would.
            Lisa is an amazing Math teacher; she taught me almost everything I know. I used to hate Math and I was horrible at it too. Now, I'm in Algebra and I'm doing just fine. I understand it all, I like it. That was all Lisa's doing.
            Tony made me the “amazing” writer that I am today. He is very helpful when it comes to critiquing my writing. I’ve always loved writing and Tony is the one that made me realize that I should go somewhere with it.
            At the beginning of last year, I was not going to college. I just was not going to do it and nobody could change my mind. (I’m very stubborn.) Tony forced me to go. I am a very stubborn person, once I have my mind set on something, I just won’t change. But Tony got through and made me realize how much I need to go to college and how much of a wasted opportunity it would be if I didn’t.
            The best thing about this school is that not only do they teach you stuff but if you need help they are willing to help you and make sure that you understand it. They won't move on if you don't.
            The thing that bugs me about my school is that we do not have homework. I understand the purpose; so we can have more time with family or friends. We also do more work in school so there is no need for homework. But once we get in High School, we’re going to explode from the amount of homework we will be getting each night. It’s a big change going from no homework at all to hours of it a night. I just think that maybe we should be prepared more for High School.
            Either way, this school is an amazing school that teaches us what out strong points are and what we should do with our lives. It also teaches problem solving and social skills. I love this school and I will be very disappointed when I have to move on to High School.
