I have really enjoyed my SOAR experience so far. Compared to the beginning of the semester it is firkin awesome. Some of the kids in my group are incredibly annoying; some are really chill. Because of my performance at SOAR so far I have been given extra privileges which are awesome and stuffs. Living with people means, I can’t get away from them!!!

At this point I have learned some very important lessons at soar like being able to cope with people. Another thing I love about SOAR is a number system called “Life Skills”. They always rank our performance 1 thru 5 at the end of the week. Based on that they determine whether or not to give us privileges or not. According to that they separate you into one of these 3 categories Average, Performing, and Super Performing.

The privileges aren’t really limited except by some very loose rules. You can use your iPods and computers if you write proposals. I really like it!

 It takes 3 weeks of 4s and 5s to become performing. There is no real easy way in to it. At the moment there are 4 performers, me and 3 others.

Thanks for reading guys I appreciate it!
