The Thrush Avenue Art Garage is going to close for the school year, but not really. We are becoming the Thrush Avenue Scholars. Serious scholars must apply. There will be free tutoring every Wednesday after school and support with homework on a regular basis. The plan is to have regular academic support, but also to teach how to be a good student.
I am a pro when it comes to school. I think I attended 26 years of my life as a full time student. And I was not always a good student. I had to learn how to be a good student. Being a good student is really about learning how I learn best. Here are the schools I attended. Willard Lincolnwood King Lab Haven North Shore Country Day Evanston Township High School Oakton Community College Southern Illinois University Carbondale Rutgers University of Quebec at Montreal Arcturus University of California SanDiego Well, that is a lot of school. The thing that turned it all around was when I knew what I wanted. I knew I wanted to be a scientist. I knew I wanted to create a new system of teaching. Once I knew, I had all of the motivation to truly learn. Grades never did it for me. The Thrush Avenue Scholar Program is more than just good grades. We will help students see themselves in their future roles. It helps to know where you are going when you are learning. Do you want to be a doctor, or a lawyer, or a investigative reporter? Well, let's find out all the skills we need to get there and start practicing them now! I had a science folder when I was little. I was always doing science experiments. Was I really preparing for my later career? Everyone comes into this life with gifts to share. It is up to us as a society to support and nurture those gifts. Just to make it fun, let's add in a little monitary incentive too!! REWARD FOR STRAIGHT As = 100$ (sponsor your student today!)
