The curriculum at South Shore Christian Academy is taught through the lens of Biblical truth.  I am truly grateful that I was able to learn from this perspective, but my walk with God was most encouraged by the personal lives of my teachers.  On countless occasions I found myself wandering into their classrooms after school or at lunch to talk about questions I had about God and life in general. Faculty members have prayed with me and talked with me through issues that were extremely painful to deal with.  As they continuously cared about me outside the classroom, I saw the reality of Christ and His love, and I wanted that in my own life.  No matter what I was dealing with, they always encouraged me to go hard after God and shared stories of His faithfulness.  I learned that my relationship with God could not deepen if I did not dig.  It is a simple concept, but it is something I did not internalize until this past summer.   Beginning to realize the implications of surrendering my life to Jesus, I began my journey as a Wheaton College student.  The training I received at SSCA, particularly in AP classes, prepared me for college work.  Rigorous AP classes forced me to be responsible with my time, which is definitely a constant struggle in college.  A fair amount of the material I am currently learning in some of my classes has already been introduced in high school.   This gives me more confidence when I have to study for or take an exam. With the independence one gains as a college student comes the responsibility of making Godly decisions.  At SSCA, because my teachers knew me personally, they knew when I was giving my best.  They were there to remind me that our best brings God glory and He knows we are human and are often going to fail.  Regardless of where I am or what I am doing, the purpose of my life is to be a witness of the living Jesus Christ.  It is only by His grace that we can live for Him.  The choices that I make need to be consistent with His character. I thank God that I grew up at a school where teachers encourage their students to dedicate their lives to the Lord and help prepare them to make choices on their own. Sincerely, Emily ‘08 Wheaton College (IL) "Dear Dr. Chamberlain,    I think I have much more work to do here (than at SSCA) but I have more time to do it.   My schedule is unique in that I only have one class on both Mondays and Tuesdays, so I sort of have a four-day weekend to do my work. There can be A LOT of reading. My first paper was a success. I had a fairly good argument, but was very confused when I wrote it, so I took it to the writing center here (I can't believe everyone doesn't use it, it's such an amazing resource) and a writing counselor gave me some really good advice on how to make it clearer. I got an A and was very happy.   Sometimes I get confused in my astronomy class. It takes a lot of imagination from me because I'm not science-oriented. I understand the ideas we go over, it's just hard to wrap my mind around the lab reports sometimes. But the teachers are very helpful.   Spanish is so much fun; I'm understanding my teachers (one teaches the class and the other leads the discussion sessions) and feeling more confident about my grammar. I definitely want to continue with it, and maybe minor in it.   Basically, I think the most important thing is knowing how to manage your time. So many girls stay up until 3 in the morning to finish their work because they procrastinate all the time. I definitely plan to stay well-rested because I can't think creatively when I'm exhausted. Also, you have to choose classes and activities carefully so you don't overload yourself. I have a really good set of classes that's balancing well so far (my poetry workshop is the one I didn't mention. I have a fabulous teacher). I feel very comfortable and prepared here.  It's just about putting your nose to the grindstone and not worrying about your performance beyond that.    All the best,  Julia ‘08 Smith College ЧЩc e RT=?хчёђїќ-./0ˆŠtuvwuvwx\]^_]_ŠŒѕьмьмьмьмьмьмьмьмьмьЩЗЈ™†v†v†v†v†v†v†v†v†v†v†v†h;ЁB*CJOJQJaJph%h;Ё6B*CJOJQJ]aJphhЌZ}5B* OJQJ\ph™hŒlž5B* OJQJ\ph™"hЦ9B*CJOJQJ]aJph%hЦ96B*CJOJQJ]aJphhŒlžB*CJOJQJaJph%hŒlž6B*CJOJQJ]aJph.ќ §§јјјјјј§gd;Ё  ўѕіїј ямямямЪЦh;Ё"h;ЁB*CJOJQJ]aJph%h;Ё6B*CJOJQJ]aJphh;ЁB*CJOJQJaJph 1hАа/ Ар=!А"А# $ %Аœ@@ёџ@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA@ђџЁD Default Paragraph FontRi@ѓџГR  Table Normalі4ж l4жaі (k@єџС(No List $џџџџќ      "˜0€€p˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€x˜0€€x˜0€€x˜0€€x™A0€˜0€€xќ  "™A0<šˆя›™A0€›A0x€™A0€ šєїѕ   №8№@ёџџџ€€€ї№’№№0№( № №№B №S №ПЫџ ?№џџЮ4V\DКЯ4VœDКа4VмDКб4VEКв4V\EКг4VœEКд4VмEКе4VFКж4V\FКз4VœFКи4VмFКй4VGКк4V\GКл4VœGКм4VмGКн4VHКо4V\HКп4VœHКр4VмHКщщяѕџww}ƒqqyќ ќ  "     юєў|‚Œ””x€€ "   9*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€place€=*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags €PlaceName€=*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags €PlaceType€   "№ ё  ”Ё‹•"3333ї   "  "-:]х\>:<b;S(S )X е|~{^!B NЮqœ ' (:)**т^*ž*Ё+їL,’7-t:1F6Ц9‡%9:5=аXB– D>G>J,Jэ9Q5eQgRF>YЁZЈjZзi`и*bkXgNni&k%2kbBn“rCukuQ)x[xyЌZ}NRk…к;‰ѕs‹UHgкX”х7–Ю^›Œlž;Ё+"Ђ‰jЂГmЋEЏgВ‡Ж—М6МO&О eТO]УeШОnЪ"ЮЇzЯ30бJ%дUеRxкƒм:оЯbо-пjрt;укuцš%чх4щЎFєеYўџ@€  hFЯ   P@џџUnknownџџџџџџџџџџџџGя:рAxР џTimes New Roman5€Symbol3& џ:рCxР џArial7& џЁ[ @ŸVerdana7‡ŸGeorgia"1ˆ№аh:2Ы†R2Ы†Дl  Дl !№ ДД42ƒ№K №џ?фџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџCuџџ"Dear DrDavid McPhersonDavid McPhersonўџр…ŸђљOhЋ‘+'Гй0|˜ЌИамшј  8 D P\dltф "Dear DrDavid McPhersonNormalDavid McPherson3Microsoft Word 10.0@Œ†G@dМ­@Щ@м§x@ЩДlўџеЭеœ.“—+,љЎ0  hp˜ ЈА ИРШа и эф South Shore Chrisitian Academy  Н  "Dear Dr Title ўџџџўџџџ !"ўџџџ$%&'()*ўџџџ,-./012ўџџџ§џџџ5ўџџџўџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџRoot Entryџџџџџџџџ РFРFЄ˜@Щ7€Data џџџџџџџџџџџџ1TableџџџџWordDocumentџџџџ"$SummaryInformation(џџџџџџџџџџџџ#DocumentSummaryInformation8џџџџџџџџ+CompObjџџџџџџџџџџџџjџџџџџџџџџџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџўџ џџџџ РFMicrosoft Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.8є9Вq
