Hi, everyone! I need to apologize for not keeping up my blog entries lately, but I'm going to really try to keep it up to date over the school year.
I love Paradigm! It is such an amazing school, and I don't think I'll be leaving anytime soon unless extenuating circumstances are forced upon me. The first thing I noticed on the first day is that I'm a lot less intimidated by people when they're wearing polos and khaki pants. I could go up to anyone and introduce myself, which helped me make friends much faster than usual. The environment was much warmer and friendlier than anything I ever experienced in public schools (cough, cough WILLOWCREEK!!!!). I made and have so far kept so many friends who are a lot like me, and some that aren't, but we get along perfectly anyway.
My teachers are all amazing, and don't ask me to pick a favorite because I love them all too much to decide. They each really care about me and listen to my questions and actually ANSWER them, as opposed to saying "Oh we'll get to that." Eek. Here are all my classes and their teachers (these are the official ones, because my schedule got changed around a lot).
Student Government with Mr. Henke (I LOVE him)
Creative Writing and Poetry :) with Ms. Paystrup (I LOVE her)
Algebra 2 with Mr. T Rogers (I LOOVE him)
Physics with Mr. J Rogers --the Rogers' are brothers, just so you know, and their names are Tom and Jerry. Really, they are. I know, it's awesome. (I LOVe him)
Foods and Nutririon with Ms. Hamory (I disagree with a few of her views, but I still LOVE her)
Foundations (leadership) with Mr. Nate (aka Mr. Smiley because he never stops) (I LOOVE him)
Bel Canto with Ms. Steinman (I REALLY LOVE her)
World History with Ms. Higgins (I LOVE her)
And last but you'd be insane if you thought it was least...
SEMINARY WITH BROTHER MILLER AND BROTHER MCDONALD WHOM I LOOOOOVE!!!!
I also thought I'd mention that I got elected class president in my Foundations and Bel Canto classes.
Anyway, I'll keep posting as more stuff happens!
