These are excerpts from students that wrote letters in the Pilot program in the 2021-2022 school year. A school year where we thought we would "get back to normal". We asked them to reflect on what they're proudest of in their self designed projects. We asked them some other things too like: Why do you want to keep doing this? Here is what they said. ...throughout the last nearly two years of being a part of this program, I’ve found myself. The comfort and love of the people within Pilot, the calming atmosphere, the freedom to be a real person instead of just another number in the school’s system; Being here has been life changing for me... ... I never really felt like I belonged somewhere as much as I feel I belong in the Pilot room, not even the room, but the program. Everyone here cares for each other, we motivate each other to go further, try more, keep doing our own things because the diversity of the people within this program is beautiful... ...I’m finally a part of something meaningful. - ELLE
I feel so much more engaged with my work because I’m actually working on something that I am interested in. I feel so productive with my work ,and the best part is that I can make it my own. I can work on it in my own special way. - EMMA
...I’ve discovered that I really can learn most of what I need by doing so independently. I return to Pilot for a more engaging and effective way of learning.
