four answers What effect has 'ArmStAfong had on you? Armstrong is very different from my school in Finland. We had little choice of subjects in Finland, where here I can take what I want. This makes school more interesting for me. In Finland, we have no free mods as such. We just go from one class to another. At Armstrong, it's up to me what I do on free time. I have the choice of either working or doing nothing. The openness of Armstrong makes me feel very responsible and independent. I like it because I feel like I'm trusted. Armstrong's system is good because it helps us learn to make our own decisions. We are independent here, as we will be after. high school. odmga filmed, 6 Despite all the hassles Armstrong caused me, I found a part of me that I didn't know existed. When I skipped class, or didn't do what was expected of me, I was forced to explain myself - to myself. Examining myself in this way, I recognized the person inside of me, thinking her own thoughts and coming to her own conclusions. The fact that I was honest about how I felt and saw things, in spite of the disapproval of others, helped me in becoming the person I wish to be. Whether I graduate from high school or not will be as important as the person I am becoming. , . w dmm
