Welcome Forest View High School!

It was so awesome to see these young faces as I enter the room. The stare from the eyes of the Honors and APs. The glare from the bright lights above. So much hostility as make my way! Why is my heart beating so fast? Is it because I'm nervous about speaking to these high schoolers; or is is because I just got done walking everywhere downstairs trying to look for this class? Those stairs were hard to walk up; that's no JOKE! I finally felt the PRESENTS, the PRESENTS of the Forest View High School Seniors. 

I knew before I walked into this place the question that I wanted to answer before leaving this room; "What can these seniors from Forest View High teach me about the readiness of college?"

Sitting along my classmate, Kevin, Kevin and I introduced ourselves very poetically to the seniors. The seniors then respectfully showed me and Kevin their introduction. (I forgot all their names now, so I need to talk to kevin so see of he knows.)

As I interacted with the high school students in various activities that was hosted by my teacher Lacy, being able to be active with them gave me a possible idea of where they were from. I can tell some students were lazy, HUNGRY, geeky, and even TALKATIVE.

So when it came down to group work, each table's mission was to answer some questions on the poster. Some of the questions asked: how do you think? what do you do? how do you act?

I am going to let this picture speak for itself.

SPIT! SPLASH! SPLATTER! At the end of the day, it was all about understanding each other.
To answer my question before I came in this room, these young students taught me that even though we have different preferences on college readiness, it's all about what we are willing to do right now to prove ourselves if we are college readiness, not our past.
