On Wednesday, December 11, the Sacred Hearts Class of 2014, visited and shadowed freshman students of Seabury Hall. The experience was fascinating, we followed a student that was matched to us depending on our hobbies. I shadowed a student leader who lead me to her first class, history. The history class was all right, it featured a concept called heart discussion. This meant that the students led the conversation about what they read in their homework assignment. The next class was geometry. Geometry was quite interesting because it was something very new and different. The class focused on the concepts of arcs and angles. After geography, we revisited the Cooper House for snack. The next class was english, my favorited class of the day, it was a mixture of english, literature, and religion. The lesson was about writing an in-class paragraph. The paragraph needed to explain whether the characters from their stories were happier because of their journey or happier because of the outcome. I thought about the concept, "Are you happier because of the things you receive or the opportunity" found in David Steindl Rast's TED talk on gratitude. After class, we walked to the chapel to discuss more about registration and the different electives offered at Seabury Hall. At the end of the day, I felt I had a better understanding of Seabury and high school. Thank you Ms. Nelson, student leaders, and Seabury Hall!
