I chose Animas because I learn best in this project based environment. Before I moved to Colorado from California I had gone to public charter art schools. Then for the first time my sophomore year I went to a public school teaching under the standard school system and that was the year I realized how much that learning style did not work for me. I missed having connections with my teachers, in public school my teachers felt like authority not my friend. Animas makes it a priority to find connections between students, peers and teachers. I feel that the substance I am being taught at Animas is applicable to the real world. I chose Animas to take charge in my education, to fix what wasn’t working for me, and to be educated and a contributing human being on this planet.
