Is Athlete AVID effective and successful?

# data[].attributes.body
Athlete AVID in my opinion was successful and extremely effective. I say that because at first no one knew what athlete avid was and to put it into short words, it is an avid class with athletes that is designed to make these students get better and improve not only athletically but also academically. This class was used to help these athletes improve in all aspects when the term "student athlete" comes into play. It put the athletes' perspective on a whole different level and it also showed us that we are held at a higher standard.

I feel that our Avid athlete class is successful it as provided many things for us students, especially for some of our classmates because they know whats its like to not have nothing and Mr.sandoval and the avid organization gave you people who genuinely care for you and want to see you do better.Avid  gives you opportunities that shows you a different lifestyle and providing a mental and physical toughness with the added athlete title. We work out and i think that provides a frestraution release or just grind time. I know some classmates that have been accepted into colleges while sometime in their heads thought they weren't going to go anywhere or even have the full mindset to even sign up. Avid has introduced me to real life examples such as going on campus, college sports games, living life, everything for your future.To me i feel like it kinda slowed down because we dont get to be in person or see all the goofiness in class that could make a day and get the face to face sandoval, he lowkey a scary nice guy lol

This class was perfect for someone like me who cares about school and sports. Given it was a class filled with athletes, we were taught to use the drive we have for sports and apply them to our academics. Some beneficial things this class offered was called mental toughness Mondays where we put ourselves in a working mindset to tackle the challenges that were to come as the week went on; Not to mention the workouts we did as a class where we motivated each other to push on, and the weekly grade checks that helped us stay on track. We were taught time management, organization, prioritization, community involvement, etc etc..., which are important to have in college and in life. Speaking of college, I think this class has helped many of the students in here to rethink there futures and to stay on the education track. Recently one of our students got a huge scholarship opportunity. That says a lot about how this class has helped shape some students. Yes, some dropped the class but it was there loss. This program gave the tools necessary for success. We all know the saying, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink". Not only did this class push us to want to pursue a higher education, it was also super helpful in the process. It was helpful during the college application season and gave us many resources regarding scholarships and grants. One thing I would change is some of the assignments like trf's twice a week. Also, I think more athletics should be incorporated. In regards to Covid and distance learning this class made the smoothest transition, and was one of the many few classes that found ways to keep us engaged. All in all this class was well worth it. I highly recommend this class for future student-athletes who are serious about their academic and athletic careers.

Despite the tribulations that we've faced in this class, I will admit that it has helped a lot of students and has enabled us to be successful. Creating a program which supports student athletes of color allowed us to have an outlet where we could focus on getting ourselves better while training both our minds and body. This class was successful because we were able to have Mental Toughness Mondays, workouts, and reading sessions which focused on becoming mentally strong among many other activities. I appreciated this class because it allowed many to focus on the route of getting into college, in addition the possibility of continuing sports down the line. All in all, this program was a great contributor to memories throughout high school because of the lessons from both Mr. Sandoval and the fun adventures with the class.

I personally feel as this class was a overall successful class. This class has pushed us all to go for more in and out of class to be better and not an average student. I think if we were still in school and not in distance learning we would have accomplished lots more. but that is not saying that we did not accomplish anything.

I think this class was successful to the people that applied themselves and knew they wanted to go to college. Although I may not agree that some of the assignments and activities were needed, I still think the class was outstanding. In this class we learned simple organization and what it takes to be a college student. I think the students that dropped out were just not ready or had a different mindset which is fine. The students that have stayed want to better themselves and add structure in the academic life. To the students that may not graduate they should not give up on school or if they do they should do something productive. Personally Covid is good for me because I have been focusing on school and myself. Distance learning had it's difficult times but now it has got easier. I think my classmates have grown since the first time we were in class together. They have got more mature and have got serious about school and their future life.

Honestly I truly think it's successful to people who wanted to take AVID, I also think AVID wasn't for everyone. One of my best friends dropped out of AVID because it wasn't truly for him. I do think whoever has this class will graduate under the guidance of Mr.Sandoval. Covid has put a huge stop on the recruitment of future AVID students and took time away from us seniors. In my humble opinion I feel like with or without this class I'd be the same me. I wouldn't understand as much about scholarships but I feel I would still be the same. Although I am glad I took this class because I had friends grow more informed about their future ideals and scholarships.

Is our AVID Scholar Athlete Program Successful?

I think it was useful because without this program I would have just taken easy classes without this AVID Scholar Athlete program I wouldn't be push myself, take challenging class, and have a better mind set then I do right now. When this program was form I already felt a connection with my peers. Nobody has dropout of this program because us students have maintain good grades because we work as a team, if one student failed we as a class failed because that's just how this program made who we are today we will never leave a team behind. But I can speak for all, that this COIVD has change us in many ways because some of us lost our way of learning but we were able to get back into it with the help of our teacher who will push you to the limit and put you on check to see how your doing. Without this class I would have fallen behind if I was to take some challenging. All I can say is that this program was fun, connecting, and had a helpful teacher.

Overall I personally feel as if the class was a big help not only with school but also with life. The covid pandemic has changed a lot of people's mindset about school and life. This class has taught me a lot about mental toughness and how to overcome obstacles that life throws at me, for example covid has ended all sports and our chance to go back to school for our senior year but that doesn't stop me from passing my classes. It took me a while to get used to distance learning but it was something we had to adapt to because that's how school will be for the rest of the year I believe. I feel like without this class i would be lost in school and probably would've given up on school.

Was The AVID Scholar Athlete Program Successful?

# data[].attributes.body
In my eyes, the AVID Scholar Athlete Program was very much successful. This class was designed to help athletes become better athletes, students become better students, and give an opportunity to those of color, and that is exactly what it did. We were pushed to become the best versions of ourselves mentally and physically. Not to mention the multiple field trips we have taken to enlarge our knowledge in colleges and our communities, like the BMOC(Boys and Men of Color) field trip which focused on the people of color who are not given the opportunities they deserve, and the college fair before the Oakland A's baseball game. As much as I know, almost all students in the class had goals to attend a university and start a great career, and at the moment a great amount of our classmates have been accepted to their universities of choice. The program has also received a lot attention and interest from around the nation, which I think is amazing as people around the U.S. see what we are all about. Sure, this COVID pandemic has changes a handful of things in our lives, school being one of them. But I feel like out of all the classes I have taken from distance learning, this AVID class has made the smoothest transition to online learning and the class actually stayed engaging, which a handful of classes and teachers have failed to do. In terms of my personal growth, this class was hands down the best class I have taken in my time as a high school student, for the growth and progress I have made as a student, athlete and a person. Mr. Sandoval has pushed me harder than anyone else has to take the hardest classes and to prevail. From joining this class I have learned multiple organization and learning skills with have greatly improved what I am capable as a student. Through multiple readings from some of the world's toughest people, like Discipline Equals Freedom from retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink, I have watched as my classmates and myself have learned to overcome adversity on the basketball court, the soccer field, and the hardships of life. Mr. Sandoval is also an amazing teacher and instructor, he took it to the next level from teaching students, by constantly staying in touch with my classmates and I outside of the classroom Monday through Sunday, being someone we can go to for help in school and for problems in life thoughout the entire school year, including summer break and vacations when most teachers cannot be contacted, Mr. Sandoval was always there for us, being only a text message away. Which in my eyes makes him the best teacher on campus. So overall, the AVID Scholar Athlete Program was extremely successful.
