I chose Animas because I went to a project based middle school that it felt had a lot to offer however when I went there the school was still trying to get organized. By the time of eighth grade year I was still very interested in hands on learning and I felt Animas had a lot of time to develop their school and create a supportive community. Animas high school offered many thing that I was interested in, for example project based learning, smaller classes and a environment based off of encouragement. I believe that PPL is beneficial for me because I think that it improves learning for students who need individual time for project work. From past PPl experience I have been able to get a deeper understanding on our project subjects. PPl in my opinion dresses the curriculum as a real life situation which helps prepared the students for the their future. Outside of school I am constantly looking for ways to explore new things. In school I have felt that I have never been given the opportunity to do that. At Animas I believe that I am constaly being encouraged to devlope new skills and go out of the work outline
