Attending BSI Benefits

Attending BSI would be a great opportunity for me. All throughout school my talents and abilities aren’t fully developed because opportunity to be around others who process information at an incredible rate is not given to me. I call it thinking fast. Work has never been very challenging. BSI would give me the chance to meet people who think fast, as well as to be challenged in a way that I have never been before.
Meeting new people that think fast, or think at the same level as me is rare to come by. In fifth grade I was in a class where thinking fast was not encouraged.

There is not real effort in walking and I’m not swimming, I’m not getting better or improving. Attending BSI would give me an opportunity to be challenged to swim in deep water, learning new things in language arts not taught at the seventh grade level. When I want to learn something new I have to advocate for myself or look into the topic I want to know outside of school. Attending BSI would challenge me and let me work with adults who will advocate for me.
Overall attending BSI would be an exciting experience. I would meet new people and be challenged in a way that I have not been before. But the main reason why I want to attend BSI is the learning and growing involved. I love to learn. I enjoy the thrill of knowing something that I did not know before or becoming better at something that I do
