From Dreams to Blueprints
BUILDING MY FUTURE AT TNA
My name is Amiya, and I am a senior at The Neighborhood Academy. I have been at TNA since 9th grade, and I want to share how much this school has changed my life.
Ever since I was little, I have always wondered how things are built and created. I love design and want to major in architectural or industrial engineering at a school like Spelman College, Carnegie Mellon University, North Carolina A&T University, Howard University, or Hampton University. My dream is to create beautiful and useful spaces for other communities and TNA has given me the confidence and inspiration to follow that dream.
Since my time here, I have been able to get involved in so many amazing activities, like being part of the cheerleading and cross-country teams, photography program, World Travel Program, Mock Trial, Honors Council and I am currently a Senior Representative for my class. My experiences have helped me learn how to communicate better, take responsibility, and advocate for myself.
TNA has really pushed me to grow. I have learned to embrace challenges, even in subjects I found tough at first. The teachers here are so supportive and encourage us to ask questions and seek help when we need it. I used to struggle with adjusting to a new environment, but TNA has shown me how lucky I am to be part of such a caring community.
As I get ready to graduate, I realize just how much TNA has worked to build my future. The high standards and values here are shaping me into who I am meant to be, and I am incredibly grateful for the staff and supporters who helped me along the way.
Students like me need donors like you! Whether it is funding for our advanced classes, afterschool activities, or necessary school materials, every little bit makes a difference in our education. Your support will allow TNA to continue giving students like me the resources needed to succeed.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Thank you for considering a donation to The Neighborhood Academy.
Together, we can build a brighter future for all TNA students!
Sincerely,
Amiya W.
