I have learned a lot so far this year. Although we're only 2 six weeks into it so far, I feel as though I've been here forever, and I can't imagine going anywhere else. I've already decided that I am staying at New Tech all four years.
My favorite thing about this school so far is something that, actually, really has nothing to do with content. I'm in Global Issues right now, typing this. I'm in this classroom every Monday and Friday morning for Writer's Guild, our writing club. This really has to do with the culture of New Tech. Everybody is so supportive and encouraging of each other, which sounds really cheesy but is actually true.
Another thing I love, and is really just the main thing of New Tech, is the projects. Some of them are really fun, and I look forward to that class above all others. Some I haven't liked as much. I'll have more on that later. But the thing is, I don't have a favorite class. My favorite class changes with the projects and the stage of the project we're in. For instance, during the Election project in Global Issues, I hated the debate discussion. But I loved the part of the project that involved making the puzzle. That puzzle is probably the thing that I'm the most proud of so far.
One of my least favorite END PRODUCTS of a project was for the Bullying project, also for Global Issues. I liked the idea of it, but choosing our own groups proved to be disastrous. No offense to my group members (Olivia Carlson, Iymoni Moore, Garrett Patrick and Alex Copple), but we did not do well on that project.
That wasn't necessarily my least favorite PROJECT, though. That...hmm. I'm not actually sure. Even though it's only been a few months, it's hard to remember every project we've had. I think my least favorite project, group and all, was in Algebra 2 a while ago. We had to design a new Dart rail map, and I didn't like that project that much. It was difficult, and I didn't like half of my group that much, but the other half was okay.
My goals for the future include improving my presentation skills and being the group leader a few more times.

I honestly agree with the New Tech students and teachers being so supportive of each other. i really like that. i am glad you have decided to stay all for years!!!! New Tech is absolutely an amazing adventure. I also agree with the end product of that global issues project. sometimes your best friends are not the best way to go. And yes, projects definitely change the way i see a class at the time. good job!
