![]() ![]() Julia: Watkinson showed me how to expand on what I already know. I had never played a leading role before! When I was cast as the lead in “Hello, Dolly!" I really stepped outside of my comfort zone. As a Creative Arts Program diploma student, I have learned to speak up and lead in class discussions. Watkinson has taught me to do that and be more open minded. I love music and singing if I could, I would change the world through music and inspire people to take risks outside of their comfort zone. I didn’t anticipate these new opportunities would really change me. Jade: Since coming to Watkinson in 7th grade, I have been surrounded by very supportive teachers and students, and I have been given a lot of opportunities to try different things, lots of freedom to choose what I want to do. Even though we are missing out on some big school traditions, like grade level retreats, we are still getting the benefits of being together. ![]() Everyone is doing a good job with masks and social distancing. Now that we are all back on campus, being organized in pods and masking is better than virtual schooling. But Watkinson did a good job making sure everyone got school from their online experience. Watkinson still did classes, like regular school. We got to have synchronous interaction and that made me still want to learn, even though I was home all the time. We saw most of our classmates and even had class discussions. Jade: Last spring, when the pandemic began, we made a sudden switch to virtual schooling. Both compete on Watkinson’s tennis team and are active in the school’s music program. Jade accompanied Watkinson’s Dominican Republic Service Team on the school’s annual week-long international service trip and was given the team’s award for hardest worker. Jade, a senior is a member of Watkinson’s two-year Creative Arts Program, which includes a rigorous set of requirements beyond traditional high school curriculum.
