This year was my first year in the MAD Academy and I loved it. There are only four more days of school left and as this year is ending, I am thinking back on all the great things I’ve done in the MAD Acad. At the beginning of the year we went on a sophomore retreat and stayed in cabins over night. We did ropes courses with partners and a bunch of activities that highlight the importance of team work and trust. Another fun trip we went on was a community service trip to build houses in Arizona. We built houses for the impoverished Apache Indians who are in much need of shelter. Next year we are going on a boat trip to the channel Islands, and I cant wait! Anyways, on friday night there was a mad academy showcase of some of the projects that the students have worked on. My class made websites. It was also the senior mad acad graduation ceremony, and my big brother Stephen graduated. It was funny because they made a video interviewing every student and played that instead of letting the students give speeches, so when they called the kids up one by one to get their certificate, Stephen the mic and gave a short little speech. Im going to miss the graduating senior class, but look forward to my two more years in the MAD Academy! Comment below what your plans for summer are!
