Trip to Arts High

Wow! I had an amazing experience today. I got to see a school of extraordinary students and faculty in the works. I didn't want to leave! There was quite a remarkable atmosphere in Arts High School of Newark, NJ. I can't wait to go back to shadow a teacher. I was definitely surprised by what a gem of a school it is. Wow. Professor, I truly left in awe and I'm inspired by this visit... Thank you. You really opened my eyes to multiple new experiences. The school was REALLY warm and welcoming. The entire staff appeared to be composed of awesome professionals who share in their hearts the ideals which have lead me down the path I'm on. This visit reaffirmed my cookie cutter made shape to become an educator because my heart overflows with love for others. Many of the messages I received today are ideas I've toiling with for my inquiry project. I am SOO happy I was a part of their day for just the few hours I was there. I finally have a definition I can easily remember for a magnet school and I have a beautiful picture in my mind of a special one.

I felt exactly the same way when I walked out of Arts. I thought it was a wonderfully unique environment. I am extremely grateful for the experience. Did you expect it to be so amazing?
