This month Homewood held SGA elections. Kacie Goldberg was elected President of the Bridges program and Dre Campbell was elected President of the Gateway program.  I decided to sit down and chat with Kacie to get to know her a bit better.  Here is our interview….

Kacie, what does Homewood mean to you? “Homewood enables me to be successful in what I want to do,  I went from failing grades to a 4.0 and attending ARL”.

What have been your best and worst experiences at Homewood? I haven’t really had any bad experiences at Homewood. Homewood has been an overall great experience for me.

How has Homewood helped you in a way that your home school didn’t? Homewood has much smaller classes which allows the teachers to help me more. At Homewood there are also a lot of different support systems and I feel like people really care about me.

As SGA President, what are some things you would like to see change at Homewood? I would like to see more friendliness between students as well as more understanding of people’s needs. I would also like to see more spirit days, they are something I really miss.

In general,  what does it mean to you to be a Homewood student? To me a Homewood student is just a student who needs a little extra support.  That’s why they come to Homewood. “I don’t believe in stereotypes. I think every student here is a great person.”

What do you do for fun? I like to hang out with my friends, play video games, and watch youtube.

Do you have a job? I don’t have a job but I have done volunteer work. Right now I am focusing on getting through school with good grades.

What are you planning to do when you leave Homewood? I plan on going to college and studying art. I plan on getting a career in animation.
