This 17 year old high school senior is section hiking the trail as part of his senior project. Once his hike is completed he will return to Columbus, Ohio, in time to help coach a middle school soccer team.
All of this is part of his schooling at The Graham School an experiential school in Columbus. As he explained to me he choose this school because of its hands-on approach to education: "experiential learning opportunities through research, teaching, and service learning experiences in community organizations and businesses as well as in the classroom." (quote from The Graham School Website)
He realized he was not learning in a normal school setting. The formalized book approach was too rigid and non-conducive for him. But, in a hands on approach it became easier to learn, gave him a base to grow and improved his total self.
Enjoy the journey SLINGSHOT...
