Character Analysis: The Midland Academy
If you’ve ever visited The Midland Academy, you’d know that it has a family-like atmosphere. We laugh together even over the slightest things, not because anything is funny exactly, but because it’s just a very comfortable environment.
Everyone has their quirks and the people here are accepting of them. If you’ve had a ten-minute conversation with any of us, you’d know that we’re all a bit crazy. The thing is, that’s okay.
It’s okay to be different here, because there is no normal.
My class is filled with personality. There are people with strong personalities, strong opinions, and ambitious minds. It’s that kind of creativity and diversity that we need in America. We need people who aren’t afraid to stand out and we need people who aren’t

There are people that want to be lawyers, professors, and even kids that plan to president someday. As far-fetched as that sounds, just think about the fact that all of our presidents were once just kids who had crazy amounts of ambition.
My charter school is a place where having ambition is okay and it’s not hard to find people with loads of it.
Our school offers dual-enrollment for high schoolers who are interested as well as pre-AP classes for middle schoolers. This is extremely helpful for the kids who like to be challenged.
My school is a place where challenge is handed to you during you’re first week and it stays with you throughout the year.
In my eyes, there’s nothing wrong with challenge. If you have ambition and determination like most of the people I know, challenging yourself is easy. It prepares you for success and allows you to improve continuously.
My charter school is place where you’re taught virtues as well as academics.
The students participate in a monthly gathering called ‘CREW’ which stands for; Character Reflects Everyone’s Worth. During this one-hour gathering, we have an activity that either betters our school or the community.
Last month, some of the staff members would read their favorite books to the kids to encourage reading.
I honestly feel like the people here are exceptional, academically and character-wise for the most-part.
We’re all crazy, ambitious, talented people.
My school is where the exceptional kids hang

    Krakauer wrote that Chris McCandless was, "green, and he overestimated his resilience, but was sufficiently skilled to last for sixteen weeks on a little more than his wits and ten pounds of rice"(Krakauer 182). In this quote it seems that Krakauer thought that McCandless was well equipped with his skills, so that made moderately prepared to survive in any situation. I feel that McCandless was rather prepared, yet again he never could have been fully prepared for the unexpected. My opinion is that McCandless was vaguely aware of the struggles that he would encounter in the Alaskan wilderness such as his epiphany that "happiness is only real when shared" was realized when his body was dying of starvation. I believed that he found what he was…

    to high school. Usually, this selects a part of the school for freshman use exclusively, or some go the extra mile to construct an actual freshman academy building. The students receive a teacher to teach their core classes throughout the entire year so they can grow more used to one group of teachers rather than have a new teacher every semester. The reason this solution is so helpful is because it improves the students ' attendance rate (which is another large reason why students start to drop out) and it improves their GPA by a…

    My ideal school is a school quite unlike any school we’ve heard of. This school consists of a large library and basic recreational facilities. And that’s all. There are no classrooms. The school motto is “I sought not to bring men to me, but to themselves,” a quote by Emerson. The school is built on the idea of active learning. No student is forced to learn. This is a much more effective way of learning. Students at this school can really pursue their interests. Most importantly, students at this school are not “institutionalized.” They do not obey and follow the school bells. They do not act according to a set schedule.…
