I chose flex because I not only needed more credits to graduate, but I also needed to prepare for college. The FLEX program greatly helped me explore what my future could be! AS such I am taking it for the fall (College Exploration) and spring (Preperation and Scholorips) semester.
So for both semesters, I have a weekly meeting to discuss the progress I have made and the next steps to take before our next meeting. FLEX is hevely student driven, so the majority of my work is my ideas on what is important to me and what I want to focus on. It is also important to mention that because I am enrolled in FLEX Works. Since I am enrolled in the class I earn credit because I am working at The Vermont Country Deli. On averge I work 8 hours a week and that translates to 32 hours a month and 128 hours a semester. In the future I will also be looking into shadowing people in my career path.
FLEX is important to me because it helps me set up a plan for after high school. Before being enrolled in FLEX, I knew I wanted to go to college, but not much more. FLEX helped me to not only figure out what I wanted to do but also what schools would be best for me. In the spring semester I have been working on scholorships and preparing for college life.
