Why I Switched to Animas High School?

​I choose Animas high school in order to become closer to the people who socialize me. I am socialized in many different ways but school is where I gain the most knowledge on how to learn. Learning how to learn is one of the most important things in life because once you can grasp how to do it you can ultimately master anything. Animas has taught me many things so far, the project based learning environment is helpful for me because it is easier to relate to things we learn. We make projects that relate to our lives or experiences and are challenged to learn about ourselves in order to figure out what we are. I enjoy knowing all my teachers and peers personally because I have many resources when I can’t figure something out and am comfortable with being myself whenever and wherever I am. I am pushed to do more challenging work such as politics and oppression which I greatly appreciate because my history is very important to me and I am glad my teachers are open to talking about it.
