New Kids

By Mike Ayotte, Jeff McGinn, and Matt Guffan

New kids in Mini are always rolling in. Here we’re trying to understand and relate to the new kid. What are their opinions, reasons and just what are they thinking.

Our journey into the mind of the new kid will be guided by our questioning. We shall display our most insightful responses.

Our first question was “what interested you in Mini’? Our answers were about the structure of the learning process, and how the opportunities have helped. The trips program was also an answer.

The second question had an intent to find the comfort level of the new kid. “Do you have friends here”? Each answer was the same “yes”. This is a very good thing. Good and bad set in after the review of third question. “ls the program different now that you’re enrolled?” three different answers, thought there would be less work and more easy, disappointment in attitude, and no.

A general question came next, “What would you change about the program?” One answer for that question was more teachers. Every other person answered better looking women. Of course you can guess the genders.

Question five. “What in particular do you like about Mini?” Same answers were lazy answers, like no work.

  1. What interested you in Mini before enrollment?
  2. Do you have friends in Mini?
  3. Has the perspective of Mini changed since your enrollment?
  4. What would you change?
  5. What do you particularly like?
  6. What are your opinions about the staff?
  7. Would you say a cult would be a good description of Mini?
  8. Do you think Michael Ayotte’s the coolest kid in Mini?
