Arthur is working a Cisi's Pizza for school credits



This is a new challenge for Arthur. He is working at a pizza place and he will get credits for High School, he is very happy, they will assign him to different duties and he can not wait until he gets to bake a pizza. Every Monday he will be working four hours until the end of this school year. The teacher was very proud of him and took a picture of him.

Next year he will begin a four year Chef program, which it will encourage his creativity in the kitchen. So far, he loves to make cakes and every week he cooks one on Sunday. Arthur is very happy because besides painting, he can also bake.

A Brigde to Cross and a Fence to Jump

This is about a walk Arthur must accomplish before he finishes his High School. He was sad and disappointed yesterday, when he found out that he was not going to College, he wants to be an archaeologist, right now he loves to dig and find fossils. I talk to him and make him understand that he has to improve on his spelling, reading and math skills for now, that is what he needs to improve to cross the bridge, at the end of his High School years, we will see if he can jump the fence, which will be all the knowledge required to attend College. At this time he thinks the teachers are thinking on a very negative way. He believes he can do it. I do not know if he will be able to accomplish his goal, but I can not take away his motivation to learn every day. I will keep supporting him. Time will only tell what will happen on his future.

Arthur Simo 's Art Journey Part 1

Well all begin after Elementary School, Arthur did not handle well this change, going to middle school and facing new school and friends was not an easy task. After six months he needed a change from his environment. At this time Arthur began his art journey with drawing on every page on his notebooks and teachers started complaining about it. A new evaluation was needed it and finally after three months, he was placed in a new school not for too long, because it was far away and transportation never got on time to school, so a new change was taken place for the next year.
Good news for Arthur, he was attending Middle School close home. He attended summer on the new school and it was difficult but with the new teachers and their aids, he did improved and began his new journey. The new curriculum for him included art, he was allowed free time every day to express himself and show his great imagination. At the end of his Middle School he had an art exposition in the library and he won on the Youth Fair a first price.
