Learning is a life long journey! It's been 8 months of learning for me at Mast Academy. Since it's the end of the year, I thought I would journal about the inspiration I've been given by so many of these kids. When I came into this, I had no idea the education I would get concerning this generation. They have a pretty awesome school here, that I feel I was blessed to be a part of for a short time.
MAST stands for Maritime And Science Technology. They take such courses as marine science, oceanography, solar energy, rowing, windsurfing, wood shop, swimming, web design, environmental writing...the list goes on. The courses offered here are mostly AP and these kids have amazing talent and creativity.
But if you don't pay attention, they will whiz right by you...this generation is fast about everything they do. They don't know life before cell phones, ipods, myspace, self-checkouts, the Internet....I just have realized how much has changed since I've left HS, and have basically been forced into another world I didn't know existed?? (if that makes any sense)
It has taught me to get out there....continue learning, and learn something new......don't become complacent, no matter where you are. There's so much out there to discover....
What or who inspired you today? Have a beautiful day!!
