Theogony<\/em>: How long have you been going to Satellite?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Sophia Chapman, senior:<\/strong> This is my third year at Satellite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jailyn Bethea, junior:<\/strong> This is my first year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaiah Robinson, junior:<\/strong> Same here, my first year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duncan McCall, sophomore:<\/strong> First.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darcy Setliff, junior:<\/strong> This is, like, my first month. I used to go to King Street, but then I went to boarding school, and I left boarding school to come back, and I started at Satellite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did you think that Satellite was the option for you? <\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Robinson<\/strong>: The environment is nice, and everyone here is nice, and they are welcoming, and it feels comfortable. Like, doing your work here can be so quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCall<\/strong>: So actually, I\u2019m here for a different reason. I took some summer school classes that use the same program that we use here, so I just liked the interface and program, so I thought that doing the entire year might be nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the community like here? Are you primarily friends with people at Satellite or at other campuses?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Chapman<\/strong>: I know a lot of people have friends at other campuses. Our SGA does different activities here; we\u2019ve done game day events. Last week, we did a teacher trivia competition with some student participation. That was fun! We try to do different activities when we can, without disrupting the school schedule too much. But a lot of people eat lunch together here, and it’s like the same thing as the main campus, just a quieter environment overall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bethea<\/strong>: It\u2019s easy to make friends because everyone\u2019s open. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCall<\/strong>: It\u2019s just nice because the community here is so small and you’re able to get to know everyone\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robinson<\/strong>: It\u2019s more personal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCall<\/strong>: I\u2019ve gone to like relatively small schools my entire life\u2014 like, less than 100 students per grade\u2014 so this is just something I\u2019m more comfortable with than the several thousand that are at King Street campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapman<\/strong>: Because we are all non-standard, we don’t have an expectation that anybody\u2019s gonna be a particular way. Like, we recognize how different we all are, and we\u2019re all here for different reasons, and we\u2019re accepting [of] one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCall<\/strong>: There’s very little judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robinson<\/strong>: Little to none.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
