My time at New Life has been transformative, fostering both personal growth and development. Through activities centered on community and teamwork, I’ve learned how to communicate effectively with people I might never have encountered otherwise. Mondays have become a personal favorite because they are dedicated to Academics. As a busy high school junior balancing work and school, I often struggle to find time for homework. At New Life, the staff ensures that completing my assignments is a top priority. Even if it means missing part of an activity, they make sure I have the time and support I need to finish my work.
When I’m able to fully participate in Monday’s activities, I enjoy engaging in trivia to keep my knowledge sharp, competing in fun quizzes on platforms like Blooket or Kahoot, and taking part in hands-on learning experiences. Beyond academics, New Life provides a peaceful, supportive environment where I can focus and catch up after the demands of school and work.
I’m deeply grateful for the staff and the nurturing atmosphere they’ve created, one that supports both our academic and spiritual journeys. Cody and Ms. Jasmine have been especially impactful in my experience at New Life. Cody’s incredible math skills have been a lifesaver—he patiently breaks down challenging problems in ways that are easy to understand. Meanwhile, Ms. Jasmine thoughtfully reviews my completed homework, guiding me through corrections to improve my grades. Thanks to their dedication and support, I’ve not only grown academically but have also gained confidence in my abilities.
