My daughter, Lauren, is a student at City Academy. We are new to the City Academy family. With that being said, this school year has been a huge change in our lives as well as an adventurous journey. I feel that we both learn and develop positive new things every single day since we have been with City Academy. I could give so many examples of how City Academy has positively had an effect on our lives.
I actually have a daily routine during the week, something I have never really had before now. As a single parent, who is also a student as well, this is very important. Before then I was scrambling all over the place lost in time. I can also say everyday I am becoming much more health conscious, specifically when it comes to eating healthy meals. I must say, my child is what she eats. However, the required parenting classes that we attend every Thursday are the most helpful. I say this because, I am a single parent which means I am constantly stressed. Although I do have my family that shows love and support 24/7, they are only able to do so much. In the few classes I have been to, I have learned more about how to listen to Lauren and how to understand more about what goes through her mind. I have also picked up some great parenting tips as well, which I have been using and witnessing that they work.
From the very first open house at City Academy, I prayed that Lauren would be accepted as a new student. I must say that God really does answer prayers. He not only blessed us to be a part of City Academy, but He made it financially possible for her to attend this exceptional school.
