Obstacles in Life and College Apps

The Juniors worked on creating essays on this 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?

This question led to a remarkably interesting conversation about Alex's early childhood. Nicole had a very good self-reflective insight about herself as a friend. Our conversations felt very confidential so I don't feel good about outlining the details here. Just know these kids are doing some great critical thinking.

The seniors began working on their college applications. Yvonne is currently applying to Seattle University, Phu Tai to Gonzaga and Lisa looked at the Seattle Art Institute website. There was a lot of cranky grumbling about how college apps are stupid. OMG. . .
