Blog #1: A breath of fresh air.
It's already been about a year since I first dropped out of highschool, and this experience so far has been absolutely amazing! The students aren't here to judge or be judged, they're here to learn and strive for the future. The instructor is like a polar opposite to the authoriative, egotistical teachers I unfortunately dealt with in high school (plus she has tattoos, that's pretty damn awesome!), and the class outline feels perfectly relevant with today's modern society; this blog is a clear example, blogging is so common nowadays that I'd be surprised to meet someone who hasn't blogged before with things like Facebook and Tumblr being the current fad for blogs. Just yesterday we analyzed 3 variations of the classic story: "3 Little Pigs" and the last variation was a metal song that was pretty catchy and definitely caught me way off guard. Even the content in the song would've made my past teachers appalled at even the suggestion to analyze it.
The fact that I'm actually in class for a full week is perfect evidence about how different, yet amazing, this whole experience is. I feel productive and I feel like my mind is constantly stimulated in this environment. If this was highschool, I would've already had quite a large number of unexplained absences. (And I was only within a 5 minute walking distance from mine!) I know I'm going to pass, although my goal is a minimal 50%, I'm positive I'll reach atleast within 76%-90% and that's all because of the instructor and students.
