Well, I must be honest. I was not looking forward to this trip. Busy with so much school work and then dealing with my job, I felt it was a bit of a hassle. But after reading through the website and watching the videos I have become very interested and eager to see what it is like!
Whenever someone says the town Newark, people often get a bad taste in their mouth and think of it as this horrible crime driven town. Yes, it has its bad areas, but there is also some amazing things there and just by reading and watching a few videos I can already tell that Arts High School is one of those amazing things.
From everything I have heard from my friends that have already taken this course and have already visited this high school it is a great place for students to learn and strive to reach their highest potential just like every school should.
During my visit tomorrow I am excited to take it all in and really observe how such a successful school is run and how the students and teachers interact with each other. The only side of the classroom we know of is that of the student and I think tomorrow will bring shed light on the other side of the classroom that we are all trying to get to. We have a lot of learning to do and we have done a lot, but tomorrow we will leave the reading and midterms and papers behind and learn by observing and stepping right into an interesting and new high school.

Hey I agree with you, three jobs, two kids, 18 credits, it did seem like a hassle to me too.. But this is something that I seriously want to do and am very enthusiastic about the chance to, like you said, "take it all in." It should be an incredible experience.. See you there!
