HI! My name is Anthony . I am a 7th grader at adVENTURE. This is my third year in this program and I couldn't be happier. I don't have the words to explain how inspiring and wonderful this school is! I know that I belong here and I am so happy I found this school. I have had so many opportunities to learn more and be who I am. I really don't know what I would do if it wasn't for adVENTURE.
First, being an adVENTURE means getting to do things that many students in your grade can't. Many 7th graders my age don't get the amazing adVENTURE projects. These projects make you feel smart and what is even better about this is that your teachers are with you every step of the way, making sure if you fall to pick you up and give you better ideas on how to work on a project. Like a guardian angel. I can't say how many times a non adVENTURE student tells me that I am lucky to be in such an amazing and hardworking school, and I know I am very lucky to be here. I consider projects like a test. You have a few weeks to learn about that specific subject and you are put to the test by working on a project. BUT, a project requires team work and adVENTURE is all abut collaborating. This prepares us for the real world and gets us as students for what's to come. Which is not what any other school would really do.
Second, being an adVENTURE student makes you feel like you have a 2nd family. AdVENTURE is not like any other middle school. We don't have different classmates in each class. We are like a class who goes from period to period TOGETHER. This makes it so I spend time with the same students, five days a week, for four years. It may sound boring but, as the years go by the closer we become. It's not just the students who are family, it's the teachers too! The teachers are like I said before our guardian angels. They make sure that we know what to do and that EVERY SINGLE STUDENT knows what going on. They make sure the shyest students come out from the little hole and express themselves and be who they are.
