I have social anxiety, so doing school online is perfect for me. When I went to public school it was difficult for me to get work done and pay attention because of all the other kids around me. I would often get distracted by random noises in the room and I always felt like someone was looking at me. Most of the time I didn't even want to go to school and would pretend I was sick just so I could stay home. One of the reasons that I didn't like my school much was because both of my best friends were going to a different school than I was and I didn't know anyone at my new school. Eventually I stopped turning in assignments altogether and the weird thing was that my teachers didn't really seem to notice. I was the quiet kid, and that made me sorta invisible. I was failing most of my classes and I didn't care. Likewise, my brother was also failing a lot of his classes and he suggested FLVS to my parents. The thing I love most about FLVS is the fact that you can work at your own pace, as long as you continue to turn in at least 3 assignments a week. So I could get the classes done with quicker if I wanted to. Sure, DBA's are nerve wracking, but if you fill out the study guides and take notes during the lessons, you should do okay. The best course I've taken yet was Earth & Space Science with Mrs. Jackfert. She was very encouraging and helpful when I was stuck on an assignment and didn't understand something in the lesson. So far I've been assigned to good teachers who genuinely want to help me succeed. I also enjoy live lessons where I can work with other students to complete assignments instead of having to do them on my own. I have definitely benefited from having a quiet work space versus the noisy classrooms I was used to.
