Noam Manor, Class of 2009, came back to visit the school over her Spring
Break from college. Enews had an opportunity to sit down with her and
find out about her life after Clearwater Academy.
 
Enews: What are you currently doing and how are you
doing?
 
Noam: I am enrolled in Broward College and majoring
in Theater and Philosophy.  I got straight A's in my first semester in
college and I am holding an A average in my second semester!
 
Enews: How is college different from high school?
 
Noam: The absence of the use and knowledge of Study
Technology has been one of the biggest things I've noticed.  Students in
college are just trying to get their degrees and not really learn. I,
on the other hand, apply my Study Technology and am there genuinely
wanting to learn and always asking questions about things I don't know.
 
Enews:  How has your high school education effected
your college education?
 
Noam:  I actually recall everything I have learned at
CAI and I have noticed that other students in my class don't have this
ability.  I am able to apply to my college classes early information I
have learned on checksheets at CAI.  In one of my classes we were
talking about government and the different branches of it. I knew so
much because I studied the checksheet "Bodies and Functions of
Government." I felt like I am always in the lead and have a head start.
 
Enews:How do you feel our Performing Arts Program at
CAI has helped you?
 
Noam: When I went to audition for my first play in
college I felt so prepared and comfortable. Mona Lim had drilled me so
well that I had so much confidence in my audition that I was cast
immediately!
 
I am so much more prepared than any other theater student I have come
across and I thank Mona for that. There is not one aspect of my life
that hasn't been effected by my performing arts training at CAI. I have
so much confidence and my ability to communicate freely and comfortably
is proof of that.
