Let us introduce you to our student of the week, Joe L.!  Joe took Family Consumer Science with us. He took this course because some health issues cause him to miss so much school. Joe persevered through the course with his illness and was able to learn information that will be helpful to him through life.

What do you like most about your Carone Learning course?

I like answering the questions in the quizzes.

What have you learned in your Carone Learning course that will most help you in your life?

The information on health care is something that I can use my entire life.

How has your Carone Learning course helped you improve your level of health or fitness?

Learning about teens health issues helped me understand more about my health.

How has your cFitness Academy instructor helped you with your course or your goals?

My instructor e-mails me to keep me on track.

Why did you sign up for a course through cFitness Academy, and how has taking this course online been beneficial?

I missed a lot of school because I’ve been sick from Crohn’s Disease. It has been helpful to take this class online whenever I felt like it.

Please share any other comments you have about cFitness Academy or your Carone Learning course.

I have really enjoyed my online class so far, I would definitely recommend it.

Here’s what Joe’s teacher had to say about him: 

“Joe has over some so much in the time he’s been in this course. Between serious health issues and learning difficulties, Joe has proven he has tenacity!”

In Joe’s Family and Consumer Science class there is a unit on decision making. Joe has had to make some really hard decisions, because of his health, for such someone so young.

Responses to questions about making difficult decisions:

1. What was the difficult decision you had to make? What made it difficult?

I decided to cancel going on a trip to Los Angeles with my school. I wasn’t feeling good and I knew the trip would be too hard for me. I wanted to go on the trip, but I didn’t feel that good.

2. Describe the process you used to make this decision.

My stomach doesn’t feel that good, so I had to cancel. I knew that the group would be doing a lot of walking and I knew that I would be too tired. My parents took out travel insurance so we wouldn’t lose the money that we paid for the trip. If I stay home, I can keep doing my IV feeds that help me feel better. We did IV feeds when we went to Florida for Christmas and it was hard to get the medicine delivered and set up the pump, so I knew it would be really hard to do in a hotel in LA.

Just as all of our students are unique, we think Joe is pretty great and we’re proud to have him in class! Thanks, Joe!

What have you learned in your Carone Learning course that will most help you in your life?

The most helpful thing I have learned is the importance of cooling down after a workout. In the past, cooling down and stretching after a workout has been something I’ve just kind of blown off.

I signed up for the class because regular gym class didn’t fit in my schedule for next year. This class has been beneficial because it allows me to set my own goals, as opposed to having to reach the goals set for a gym class with a lot of people. It also allows me to workout at my own pace, which I enjoy.

I’ve gotten over the hump of feeling like working out is a chore, and now it’s something I actually look forward to. Because I’ve had to fill out my logs, I’ve been experimenting with lots of different workout types and classes and I’ve been having a lot of fun. The change in viewpoints about exercise is big for me, and it will definitely serve me my whole life through.”

Just as all of our students are unique, we think Elizabeth is pretty great and we’re proud to have her in class! Thanks, Elizabeth!

“I would tell them I would be able to talk whenever they wanted to. When they would want to talk, I would be a good listener, and avoid asking a lot of probing questions. I would avoid making suggestions about how something else will make up for the loss. I would be patient, and not force them to talk to me. I would share fond memories. I would respect their process of grieving. Finally, I would write a note saying how sorry I am for them.”
