Rocky
Point Academy has helped me tremendously!
I used to take forever to do my homework; it took me awhile to understand
the lessons that had been taught that day.
It took me the whole night just to do homework, and on weekends I spent
the majority of time doing homework. I
use to dread going to school. I
hated it there! I always felt lost
and I was feeling like I was not even there.
I was always confused and frustrated with the lessons. I have a strong sense of pride so I don’t give up easy.
I would always try as hard as I could and barely got my homework done for
the next day. To be honest I was
concerned about what Rocky Point Academy could
offer me, but I was willing to try and see.
We went to the information session and I was told I had ADD.
It was suggested that I go and see the people at Rocky
Point Academy. When I went
to Rocky Point Academy in November I relearned
about my abilities and my previous schooling.
I learn how I learned and how to help my self to do better.
The week at Rocky Point was
amazing!
I learned so much from Larry! I
learned how to orientate my self and how to learn so things make sense.
Later
when I went back to school every thing seemed different and I did better.
I went from just barely passing to honourable
mention. I understood what
was being said and what was being taught and I still don't
like the homework, but it takes me less time to do it and I have time for other
things. I also enjoy the
clay nights. A group of us get
together and do words in clay. I
enjoy meeting people who are like me and learn the same way.
Sure I still have a way to go to improve my skills but now I know that I
am not alone and that I can do even better!
Sincerely,
Ryan
