I am.....

 

 

           A Beacon student is like a diamond in the rough.  A student who is beginning to understand the meaning of responsibility; starts out as punk off the street to show they are not scared of anyone. A Beacon student is someone who eventually gets out of that phase of being a tough boy after becoming familiar with their surroundings at the school.  A kid that begins to evolve into a young adult who understands and accepts responsibility for his or her actions.  Someone who enjoys life with art and meaning.

 

            A visual student is someone who has a wild imagination.  A person who is creative; who sees everything as art where ever they go.  Whose imagination flows onto paper as art.  Someone who understands the meaning of art.  For example, seeing a mural of Big Pun in graffiti, walking in a rainforest and accepting the rainforest as art.

 

            My name is Felix Colón and I am one of those Beacon students who began his freshman year as a punk, and recently began to understand life and the world around me. I now understand the meaning of life and what it means to never give up.  Beacon has helped me overcome my insecurities.  It has transformed me from a shy awkward kid to a more confident and outgoing young adult.
