Freshman at @alphaschool in San Francisco. Goal right now = 100 followers

[ehtna @theehtna]

The current school system is outdated for the current generation, and @alphaschool is leading the charge.

Day 7 of getting 100 followers.

Today's bootcamp focus was reading, and there's a real reason behind it. Part of upholding our community standard means reading books like Atomic Habits by James Clear and actually applying what's inside them.

By Tuesday we finish our books and turn what we learned into a contract. Every one of us signs it, and it becomes the rules we actually live by in the classroom.

@Alphaschool is disrupting the traditional school industry.

Day 7 of getting 100 followers.

Today I finally locked in my 3 goals.

Complete the first simulated prototype of the Universal Time Limit Hub, the app I'm building.

Pass 2 mastery tests and advance 2 grade levels total.

Help my brother hold a proper 30 second plank.

Goal 1 is due this Sunday, goal 2 the Sunday after, and goal 3 the Sunday after that.

2 Hour Learning at @AlphaSchool is the future of education.

Day 6 of getting 100 followers.

Today's bootcamp focus: building our own goal setting GPTs, custom AIs designed to critique our goals and push us to be more ambitious.

Before that, we took a Crystal personality test to find our strengths, since the goals we set need to actually align with who we are, not just sound impressive.

Still figuring out my goals and how they connect to my strengths. Work in progress.

Switching to @Alphaschool was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my entire life.

Day 5 of getting 100 followers.

Today’s bootcamp activity was goal setting. We broke down 5 questions with our peers:
1.What makes a goal ambitious
2.Outcome vs activity, what’s actually the difference
https://t.co/RAOqkj0L1n do you make a goal measurable and verifiable
https://t.co/Rlzxn5S3J2 do difficulty, time, and resources factor in
5.What systems actually drive follow through
Working through these with my peers completely changed how I think about setting an ambitious goal

Can't wait for tomorrow

[ehtna @theehtna]

Getting your academics done in 2 hours sounds crazy, but @alphaschool lets me do that.

Day 4 of 100 followers challenge 🎯

Today's lesson: encouragement isn't feedback.

We ran an exercise with 2 bins, 7 balls, and a blindfold (me). Round 1: my teammates guided me step by step transferring balls between bins. Round 2: same task, but they could only say "good job" and "you got this." Round 2 was so much harder, motivation without direction gets you nowhere.

Then we learned the mom test: ask "will I succeed?" and you'll get a reflexive yes. Ask "what's my biggest weakness?" and now you're getting real feedback.

I love school.

So many students out there say they hate school. But @AlphaSchool makes us love it.

Day 3 of my journey to 100 followers 🎯

Today’s Alpha High bootcamp was a teamwork exercise through an escape room. I’ll admit it, I was by far the most scared person there. The room was called “The 7 Deadly Sins,” and between the loud sounds and eerie music, it definitely tested our nerves. But it also brought our whole class so much closer and leveled up our teamwork in ways I didn’t expect

@inaraTheFirst so tuff

[ehtna @theehtna]

Nothing teaches you how to take feedback like singing solo in front of your peers.

Yesterday was Day 2 @AlphaSchool bootcamp: Todays challenge was to pick a song, sing it live, get roasted (constructively). Best crash course in giving and receiving feedback I’ve done.
