Junior Jouranlists

Last week, the president and other members of Georgia Partnership for
Excellence in Education toured the Georgia College Early College program. The Partnership made six stops over three days during the their tour. Below are the experiences of 10th graders in the program.

Krishindra Johnson- “The tour was great. What was most important to me, though, was to ask how the tourist felt about Early College rather than the students answering all the questions. One thing I remember was the advice of one tourist. She said to stay focused on my school work! I really appreciate that advice.”

Oneisha Lee- “I enjoyed the visitors that we had, because not only did they learn things about us, but we also learned things about them too. The visitors showed lots of excitement as we wondered through each class and they showed plenty of appreciation also. It was lots of fun I liked Harry Potter.”

Timberly Spikes- “These guests weren’t afraid to speak about our future goals. It wasn’t just about how Early College is changing our lives now, but how it will affect me in the future. One lady in my tour group didn’t know the difference between Early College and other schools. She was amazed when I told her the difference.”

Jalon Trawick- “Two thoughts about the bus tour at Early College (are): Majority of the people were intelligent, I think they enjoyed their visit, because the students dressed nice and lead the visitors to a nice lunch and classroom visit.”

Shambria Brown- “The bus tour was fun, we got to walk the adults around and show them our experiences in the classroom. We also ate with them and got to know them.”
