How my Student Led Conference affected my education...
Preparation for the SLCs was an easy and smooth process. The organization process took a little while, but once it was finished, the rest of the SLC prep was simple and straightforward. I felt that the organization required for the SLC helped me maintain everyday organization for my classes.
SLCs were a good way to catch my parents up on my progress in school. It was more of an open conversation than a presentation, which put less pressure on me.
Follow-up with my parents since the SLC has been up to them. I give them an overview of how I'm doing in my classes, but if they want to see my grades, they go online themselves.
Since the SLC I feel I have a new ownership over my grades. It can be nerve-wracking to sit down with your parents and show them your grades, but if you owned it, it wasn't that bad. Since coming to Animas, I work harder to put forth my best work and take pride in everything I do here.
