Why I chose Animas...
The decision process of choosing to go to Animas High School or stay at Bayfield was very ambivalent. I didn't necessarily want to stay at Bayfield (because of the teaching system), but I also didn't want to leave behind all I knew. It took me a long time to decide which school would better benefit me and my education. One of the utmost reasons that I thought I would try Animas was the teacher-student relationship, and the project based learning. Did I want to stick to the normal worksheet and textbook learning, or did I want to try a different style of learning? The student teacher relationship was a big part of the decision making process. It helped me decide because I wanted to be able to go and talk to my teachers without the usual discomfort of asking teachers at other schools. A reason that I was conflicted about going to Animas was the friend-making. I was at odds that I wouldn't make any friends and I'd be all alone, but that's not how it turned out. I made a really cool group of friends. Deciding to come to Animas is a good choice that I made and I'm glad that I chose to come here.
