~:[CH13 - Day 314]:~ Leveling Up
There's a reason why our students tend to be successful when they leave our school. They prepare, they analyze, and they execute. From researching and understanding a topic to negotiating solutions to world problems, by the time these students leave our school, they get it. They know how to look into issues, they know how to analyze them, and they know how to make decisions. All the skills they pick up are useful in any field they go into and thus, they level up early. To watch them in committee always impresses me. While I need to give them a little push once in awhile, for the most part, they are driven. From time to time, their perspective on how they did may be skewed, they still are there and actively participating and preparing themselves for the world ahead. I wish that as many students as possible could experience this program. It would help educate them on things that a majority of people in this country aren't exposed to, as they'll be introduced to complex topics not discussed in a normal classroom. At the end of the day, it was great to see some of the students receive awards for their excellence, but even those that didn't should understand that they received the greatest gift as they participated this weekend, leveling up. Down the line, many may wonder how they go to where they were and I hope that they'll see that all the hard work that they put in to these conferences gained them something that will be useful as they move forward in life.
