My name is Nicholas and I am going to be a criminal justice major in the spring. I wanted to go on this trip because of my unique education experience. I went to Montessori Elementary and Middle schools and at a young age I was diagnosed with ADHD and a learning disability. In the Montessori program I excelled even with my learning disability and this resulted in acceptance to the Science and Technology magnet program at the best high school in the area. Due to the expectations of the program and the weaknesses of the accommodations I was given my experience in school became less enjoyable and more difficult. I had some great teachers along the way which has caused me to consider an education minor or double major. I particularly enjoyed my math, science, and music (my favorite) courses. If I was more musically gifted I would have chosen the major. I'm interested to see how KIPP operate and compare it to my personal school experiences.
