Why I Chose Animas High School
One could say that I had a hard time when deciding where I wanted to attend high school. When I first shadowed at Animas, I was awed by the projects the students were doing, and I was surprised at how kind the kids were to one another. A few months later I still wasn't convinced that Animas was the right choice for me. Because of this, I decided that I'd try shadowing at Bayfield High School. When I shadowed at Bayfield High, I got a sweet taste of that average American "high school experience." I saw hallways filled with lockers, a large gym with changing rooms, and a student body that was slightly larger than that of AHS. When witnessing these two very different high schools, I knew that I had a tough decision to make. Well, let me tell you, I don't think I've ever been more proud of a choice I've had complete say in than making the decision to attend Animas High School.
At Animas High School, I have had many opportunities to express myself and follow my pursuits of passion. One of my dreams is to be a DJ/Producer, and I was granted an opportunity to chase this dream at Animas High when we had our first dance of the year. I was able to try my skills out on a mixer for the first time, and I can't say I've ever felt more exhilarated than when I played music for others on that night. Another pursuit Animas has helped me follow is my love for art. In all of the projects we do, I feel that there is an opportunity for me to express myself through art, literature, and numbers (if I'm lucky). This aspect has made this year enjoyable for me, and I am looking forward to many more years expressing myself at Animas High School.
During my time at Animas High School I have found where I want to go, and I'm still discovering who I want to be in a class that accepts me. Yeah, so maybe I don't have those lockers and that spotless tile floor, or that big gym, or a homecoming dance, or a large student body. But what I CAN tell you is that I have a school that takes pride in it's excellence (both in projects and academics), and a school that creates new and inspired students striving for greatness every day. I'm proud to be an Osprey, and I'm looking forward to letting my dreams and imagination soar in my journey here at Animas High School.
