Taj L.
Graduate of Tennessee Connections Academy
Learning Self-Discipline, Time Management, and More
Taj L. graduated from Tennessee Connections Academy this year and says his favorite aspect of attending our school has been “the flexibility of an online education and how supportive the teachers here have been.
“One thing that surprised me the most about Tennessee Connections Academy has been all the different clubs and activities that were offered, especially since it’s an online setting. … Creating friends through this school’s virtual clubs and activities is very much the same as creating bonds at an in-person school.”
Getting Ready for Whatever the Future Holds
Taj reports, “Tennessee Connections Academy has not only prepared me for college, but it also prepared me for life and any endeavors I choose to pursue later in life. It's taught me self-discipline, how to manage time, and how to work independently.
“This school gave me the flexibility to balance work, schoolwork, friends, and family. It allowed me to manage my own schedule and manage my work so I could prioritize the things that matter the most — like living my teenage years and having fun but getting my work done at the same time.”
If I could speak to my younger self, I’d reassure him that this school is a great fit for being successful in life, in college, in the workforce, or in anything I choose to do.
