Today was the first day of school! This meant that I would finally officially start with the innovation academy program, I was so exited! I got to school and talked with my friends until the bell rang and everyone started to go to their classes, I did the same but I knew this was going to be a different day, a different two years.
I entered the class and we immediately started working, if you want to be successful you cant afford to lose time. We were so excited about our first day that we started to think about projects like The Break (Magazine) or The School News but we didn’t realize that we were starting with the ¨What¨ instead of the ¨why¨. At the second Mr. Topf noticed this he showed us a video called The Golden Circle. After watching the Golden Circle video I noticed that most of the things that I had planned in my life didn’t make sense because I didn’t have a purpose, I started to understand life a little bit more.
I also learned that you have to have a balance between doing something for yourself or doing something for other people. This is why the Innovation Academy is so cool because it’s not like any other subject that you just learn for yourself, in here we learn that we work with the community and for the community.
As the school day ended I started to realize how just one class of the innovation academy had changed my way of thinking, from being a normal student I became a student that wanted to make a change someone who was intrinsic and not extrinsic.
