Why I chose Animas
Why I Chose Animas.
Well, I didn't. My parents chose Animas for me. They had looked at a lot of other schools for me, and this school really stuck out for them. The hands- on learning style was perfect for my hands on and visual learning styles. The learning style wasn't the only thing that stuck out to them. The environment was a perfect fit. I came from a small school where I always had a relationship with my teachers and it really helped enrich my academic experience, so my parents thought it would help to keep me in that kind of learning atmosphere. When I came here I didn't have an open mind because Animas wasn't my first choice, but the teachers were still really welcoming and that was my first introduction to the student-teacher relationships here at Animas. The teachers really care about my success and that makes me care as well. The teachers also help push me, not only academically, but they help me find my comfort zone and step outside of it, like speaking in front of my class, engaging with students I hadn't met before, and they help me become comfortable with my unique voice. I don’t feel like just another student, I feel like a valued individual worth knowing and coaching. Although I didn't chose Animas, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
