I originally came to AdVENTURE because of its location relative to my house. Not only did it have better education system than my old school, a lot of people that were in my class were transferring there. I had gone to one of the exhibition nights to see what the school was all about. At the exhibition night I saw lots of cool projects, that made me want to go to the school even more. Since my old school didn't have grades I saw a rubric for the first time in my life. I was elated to find out that I got into the school.
I had barely gotten into AdVENTURE as I had gotten in through the waiting list. During my first year at AdVENTURE it was as good as I expected, the projects were fun to do, and all of my teachers were nice. I actually enjoyed learning for once in my life, I was trying hard to learn new things and get good grades on all of my projects. So when the end of the year came and I had to submit a paper to secure my spot for the next year, I was on it getting the paper back within the next few days, so that I could get to go back the next year.
Last year, was the most enjoyable by far. I met new people on the Herman side of campus and made friends with them. I also reconnected with people I had not been friends with before. I came out of my shell that year and I enjoyed every second of it. This year, I came back mostly because of what I experienced last year, I wanted to keep seeing the people I knew already. I don't feel like I would be comfortable at another school. I am glad I came back to AdVENTURE as I am enjoying this year as much as I enjoyed last year so far.
