The thoughts and insights of PAideia Students
Who am I? What are my passions? How do I feel about the school year? What am I most looking forward to? What am I most concerned about? What is the most important thing my teachers/friends need to know about ME?
Hi!!! My name is Jeah, and I’m turning 12 next Wednesday. This school year, I’m in B Orange. This is my first year with PACES. I’m catching up easily with the homework. But, I never know who to sit with at lunch. Most people think that I’m Japanese, Korean, Hawaiian, or Chinese, but I’m really from the Philippines. I love being Filipina! One thing people need to know about me is that I am a really musically inclined girl. I have been playing the violin for about 5-6 years. That’s why I’m in Advanced Orchestra with Instruments of Praise. It’s really fun for me, beacause I’m in the Violin 1 section. (That means that I get to sit in the front row of the whole orchestra. And, it also means that i get all the hard parts!) I’m teaching myself guitar, as well. I have also been playing piano for 6 years. I also love the stage life!!! It’s really fun acting with HFAC(Houston Family Arts Center). I enjoy playing volleyball too!!! I started playing a year ago. I was(and still am) nervous about meeting people this school year. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the Tuesdays of this school year! 
As I said earlier, I’m most concerned about making new friends. The most important thing that people need to know about me is that I’m usually REALLY quiet. BUT if you just get to know me well enough and if you just take time to talk to me, I can get pretty loud. I hope you enjoyed my post!!! PLease comment!!!

Yes, I know!!! But, it's really fun! :)
And, I did check into CYT. It looks really cool. I might join, if my parents let me.
Week 2 journal
Who am I? I am Sage. What is my passion? For now it is my schooling and making sure that I am focused and getting the most out of my Paces education. How do I feel about this school year? I feel that this year is going to be a very challenging year. What am I most looking forward to? I am looking forward to the end of each quarter so I may be able to see my grades and improve on what I did wrong. What am I most concerned about? I am most concerned about failing any of my classes, or getting a grade that is barely a passing grade. What is the one most important thing my teachers/friends need to know about me? My friends need to know that this year I will not be sitting around doing nothing when I have free time, I will be helping around the campus. Teachers need to know that I would like to be challenged this year in my PACES/PAideia education.
Me in the spotlight!!!
I’m not used to publishing things I write in my Journal on the internet so… bear with me if I seem like a newbie. Hahaha
Okay. Hey everyone! For those of you who don’t know me (which is most everyone in paces), my name is Ryan, I’m 15, and am in level C (blue to be exact). My greatest passion in my life right now is Christ and I strive to be more Christ-like in everything that I do. Some of my other passions, however, lie in music as well as film making and directing. I play the piano and keyboard, the guitar, a little of the drums, and sing (somewhat…I definitely enjoy it). I haven’t actually created any films yet or even been in any professionally done plays, but I have written a play, directed it, made costumes for it, and performed it in front of somewhere around a hundred people. Quoting movies is another one of my hobbies. I’m really excited about the school year. This is sort of a new experience for me since I’ve been homeschooled all my life… well, except for preschool, but that doesn’t really count. I’m looking forward to learning, stretching my mind to think in new ways, as well as growing in my relationship with Christ. I would say that my biggest concern is not that I’ll not have time for my home work, but that I won’t understand what I’m supposed to be doing (me being new to this and all). The most important thing that the teachers need to know about me probably is that I can get confused very easily sometimes, so you just need to be clear when your giving instructions. The most important thing for the other student to know is that “You be my friend, I be your friend”. Just so long as your not some really insane crazy person.
See you Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, I meant B Orange... That's so cool that you wrote a play. It's because I really love acting!
Ohhhh... Okay. That would make sense. Yeah, I like acting too. Paces is offering a filming class I'm thinking about ...
Insert clever title here.
Hi, my names John. I’m a Paideia veteran for seven going on eight years. I am an E student, or Upper Rhetoric as they’re calling it these days. I am currently a worship leader for Crossroads Baptist Church on 242, where i also run media, and other fancy technical things, with fancy technical names. My passion is to serve, I love leading worship for my student ministry. However come college I won’t be a Music Major, but instead a Missions Major. I plan on living in the Orient, or more specificaly Taiwan. Of course you must assume from all this revealing text that I plan on being a missionary. The answer would be, yes, yes i do. Moving on, this school year is fairly important to me, its the year most colleges pay attention too. So theres alot of pressure for me to do exceptionally well. I’m most looking forward to graduation actually. Cliche’ i know, but its the truth. I’m also concerned about attempting to set a good example. I know PACES counts on Interns, and E students to make sure students know how to behave. Which is difficult for me because I am three years old on the inside.
Well I hope you’ve enjoyed reading my somewhat informing blog
Thanks,
John M

Well, if you haven’t noticed yet, I’m Rob and I am in D level. My passion is Christ. I use the signature “Doulos2Christ”, and since Doulos means bondservant in the Greek language, it simply means “Bondservant to Christ”. I believe that to be my one and only passion and everything else will just fall in place. I am very excited about this year and the opportunities it gives to make me a better student, Christian, and friend. I look forward to being able to discuss issues in class about what I believe (Believe, there is always one person to argue with… Always). I lead a Wednesday Night service that takes a lot of attention, and there is a lot on my plate. I am little concerned about that, but I know that if you put God first, ALL things will fall into to the right place. I love, and I really mean love, to argue, and it’s even better when I know I’m right. Yet, I also realize that there are times when I’m wrong, and that can be quite often. So no, I’m not some prideful debater… Sometimes
Hahaha! Hey buddy. I love that "Doulus2Christ" thing. I have never known you to be an extremely argumentative person. I'll ...
My Introduction
For those of you who know me, (and for those of you who do not) I am Faith, and my passions are: Learning, singing, piano, dancing, photography, being creative, and glorifying God. I think that this school year is going to go really well, and I want to learn as much as possible. I am really excited about my Convocation and 40 hour project, because I think that they will be really fun. I am probably most concerned about getting my homework done in time for Tuesday, but I know I can do it if I work really hard. The most important thing that my teachers and friends should know about me is that I absolutely never give up, I am a perfectionist, and I will always try to make the right decision, even if I do not want to.

Introducing myself :)
Hello, my name is Rachel. I am a first time PACES student and am in D this year, and I’m really excited to be learning at such a tough level. When I graduate I would like to be a nurse, but I am also concidering majoring in music or theater arts. What I’m most concerned about is getting good grades and not failing out of any of my classes. The one most important thing that you need to know about me is I’m somewhat a perfectionist, and I try to do my best. I have been playing the violin for nine years, and I love to sing and dance. I have not yet discovered what my passion is but I hope to get an idea this school year.
That's why I picked you to be my lab partner, just for the reason of you being a perfectionist. Haha
