Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around every once in a while, you could miss it.
Why I Chose Animas
I always wanted to come to Animas. Some of the main reasons were that it was a fairly small school, which I like. I don't like a ton of kids, because I get overwhelmed easily by a ton of people. I don't even like cities much bigger than Durango, because I like to know exactly where I am and where I'm going. Animas seemed much simpler than DHS, and it didn't have to be more complicated. I also liked the student-teacher relationships. During Middle School, my teachers were awesome people that took me on trips I will never forget, and I think this is an admirable quality. Animas teachers seem more open to taking time out of their day to hang out with their students and get to know them. I also liked the people better at Animas. They seemed a lot more friendly and outgoing. They will respect you more for who you are. At this point, the only thing pointing me towards DHS was sports, which I can still do from here. So I knew where I wanted to go. But my parents still wanted me to still have a shadow day at DHS, just to make sure. After my shadow day, I was still convinced that Animas is the school for me.
