My name is Tyson Lee.

00:00:01.980 --> 00:00:06.410 align:middle line:84%
I'm in ninth grade, and I go
to Highline CHOICE Academy.

00:00:06.410 --> 00:00:09.380 align:middle line:84%
My favorite part about being
a student at this school

00:00:09.380 --> 00:00:12.230 align:middle line:84%
is the size, which is
noticeably different

00:00:12.230 --> 00:00:13.710 align:middle line:90%
than a normal public school.

00:00:13.710 --> 00:00:15.110 align:middle line:84%
The teachers get
to pay attention

00:00:15.110 --> 00:00:17.190 align:middle line:84%
to you more because
it's a smaller class,

00:00:17.190 --> 00:00:20.160 align:middle line:84%
so you get this really
focused education.

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.610 align:middle line:84%
It's given me plenty of
opportunities where I

00:00:22.610 --> 00:00:24.150 align:middle line:90%
demonstrate what I've learned.

00:00:24.150 --> 00:00:26.570 align:middle line:84%
It taught me to
be more outgoing.

00:00:26.570 --> 00:00:30.380 align:middle line:84%
We truly live the Highline
promise to know each student

00:00:30.380 --> 00:00:32.900 align:middle line:84%
by name, strength, and
need, and our teachers

00:00:32.900 --> 00:00:35.540 align:middle line:84%
know where our
students need support

00:00:35.540 --> 00:00:37.230 align:middle line:90%
and how they need support.

00:00:37.230 --> 00:00:41.690 align:middle line:84%
That's the benefit of our
small learning community.

00:00:41.690 --> 00:00:44.100 align:middle line:84%
After high school, I
want to go to college,

00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:45.300 align:middle line:90%
get a four-year degree.

00:00:45.300 --> 00:00:47.160 align:middle line:84%
Career-wise, I
want to be a pilot.

00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:49.740 align:middle line:84%
That's been something I've
always been passionate about.

00:00:49.740 --> 00:00:53.210 align:middle line:84%
I feel like this school supports
me for future plans really well.

00:00:53.210 --> 00:00:54.710 align:middle line:84%
And later on in
high school, they'll

00:00:54.710 --> 00:00:56.240 align:middle line:84%
start helping you
with scholarships,

00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:57.740 align:middle line:84%
telling you about
more programs that

00:00:57.740 --> 00:01:00.150 align:middle line:84%
will help you get into the
career path that you want.

00:01:00.150 --> 00:01:03.380 align:middle line:84%
It is incredibly important
to us that every student

00:01:03.380 --> 00:01:07.230 align:middle line:84%
finds what they're
looking for their future.

00:01:07.230 --> 00:01:09.420 align:middle line:90%
Everybody's future is different.

00:01:09.420 --> 00:01:11.250 align:middle line:90%
It's their own to create.

00:01:11.250 --> 00:01:16.330 align:middle line:84%
And we support them by helping
them navigate those pathways.

00:01:16.330 --> 00:01:28.000 align:middle line:90%
