The Juniors worked on the question: Explain how you contribute to the well-being of your family, school, workplace, community or place of worship. What have you gained and/or learned from that experience?
This provoked an interesting conversation between Alex and the rest of us about his autism (Asberger's Syndrome). He taught us about his unique symptoms of Asberger's and how it can vary from person to person. Some students struggled with this question, feeling that they hadn't contributed enough. Hopefully, when they write this again next year it won't be so difficult to answer.
The seniors worked on the last Act Six question: "Describe any personal hardships or unusual circumstances you have had to overcome. How have these experiences shaped you as a person and how can they help you in the future."
We discussed the struggles of growing up in poverty and of losing a parent. I continue to be amazed at how perseverant and resilient our students are.
