Student of the Month - June 2008 |
Rawhide Rocks! |  My name is Austin and I am 13 years old. I am from Outagamie County and have been in the Home Plus program (students live at home with their families and attend school at Starr Academy) at Rawhide for six months. My favorite things to do are fishing, hunting, riding ATV, and snowmobiling. I also like playing pool and hanging out with my friends.
I really enjoy math with Scott Wilson (academic instructor) and being part of the Beat the Heat elective. Students who participate in Beat The Heat have the opportunity to work on a drag race car and to interact with the local sheriff (who drives the car) and other Northeast Wisconsin police officers.
I also like working in the woodshop with Bruce Miresse (woodshop instructor) because I get to build things, like tables. Someday I would like to go off to college to become a game warden, so I can watch for people that are breaking the hunting laws.
Before I came to Rawhide, I would not listen to the teachers, and I would not do my school work. At first, I did not like attending Starr Academy. After a period of adjustment, I relaxed and now look forward to school. Now I’m doing good, and I’m getting good grades. If it wasn’t for Rawhide, I would probably be in an institution somewhere. I want to thank all the Rawhide staff for helping me in my school work and helping me prepare for my future.
Rawhide, you rock!
