Even though it is hard to believe that I am a junior it is even harder to believe that this is my third year in Stac. I look at my old blog posts ,even though I admit I'm not the best person to kept up with it, and it is crazy how much Stac has changed me.
I read my first post from freshmen year and it is honestly embarrassing to read since my grammar was, and still is, absolutely horrid. The bad part is that I remember writing it and remember how crazy everything in Stac seemed to me. "When I first walked into the room everyone knew each other and there was so much stuff going on. As I looked around I saw everyone was so different but they all had this one thing that flowed trough all of them and that would be the talent. I guess thats what STAC is all different people that come together to learn from each other." Stac to me as a freshmen was a chance to prove myself and little did I know that it became not only that but it changed the way I viewed everything. I had went in for an interview with a mentor and the topic ended up talking about this show that I had watched in Stac. My mentor and art teacher had never expected me to understand and know what Myths by Joseph Campbell was and were impressed. That was when I realized how much Stac has changed the way I thought since Stac teaches what is used in reality not what needs to be used in high school. Some thing that Luke had brought up again this year was how interesting it was to see the oldies instantly know what to do while the newbies are a bit more hesitate. This had happened last year to and this was what I had said about it: "He said that the oldies seemed to breeze through the activity then the newbies and it has got me thinking about what has changed from thinking like a newbie to thinking like a stacie. Or about how my mind set has changed because of S.T.A.C. it seems like a light switch has been turned in your head. After a year being in stac , you learn how to think like a stacie. You just learn the expectations."
Something that I have regretted last year is the fact that I was not as productive as I was the year before. I had grow to comfortable and lost a sense of self motivation. This is something that I am most definitely working on this year. Junior year is said to be the hardest year but I won't let the regret of last year affect this year. Maybe this year I'll reach out of my comfort zone and try other things besides art. There is always something new to try in Stac........
