She is helpful with questions that I have.

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

Taking this course helped me open up other scheduling options for other classes.

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

It has worked for me. I can work when I can on my time schedule.

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

“Preston is great about getting things in on time, I know how hard that can be when working in a course outside of school.”

In Preston’s Health & Personal Wellness class he has been working on his personal health habit of getting in better shape before baseball season starts. He reports his progress each week, with realistic barriers and ways to over come them. 

“I have done about one fourth more of sit ups than I use to be able to. The time constraints in the morning to get ready for school were some of the insignificant barriers. My baseball coach has encouraged me by telling me to keep up the good work.”

 

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

Let us introduce you to our student of the week, Baleigh W.!
Baleigh is currently taking First Aid and Safety. She really enjoys it, and finds it helpful for everyday life.

 

What do you like most about your Carone Learning course?

I like that I can work at my own pace, that way I can ensure I’m doing all my assignments up to my full potential.

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

Considering that I am taking first aid, I have learned how to evaluate a person whom may be ill or injured. By doing this, I can see signs when a person isn’t acting right. This will help to detect injuries or illnesses early on, which could potentially save someone’s life.

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

Yes, it has taught me things to do, to keep me clean and healthy. Even small things and habits I start can improve my heath over time.

Has your cFitness Academy instructor helped you with your course or your goals?

Yes, very much so. Mrs. Wheelwright keeps up with my progress and sends me emails every so often to let me know how I am doing. By doing this, it helps me stay on track.

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

I had finished my first online class with plenty of time to spare. I didn’t want to just sit around and do nothing. I am currently in a Patient Care Technician class at our Career and Technical Center. By taking First Aid, I can already see vocabulary and skills that I have learned in both classes that go together.

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

I believe this class has already helped me tremendously and I have not even completed it. I have learned so many things that will benefit me as I continue my education to become a Registered Nurse.

Here’s what Baleigh’s teacher had to say about her: 

Baleigh pays attention to detail and is very thorough and thoughtful with the work she does.

In Baleigh’s First Aid class she has been exploring how to help others in many situations.  As part of an assignment she identified how to help others in the scene of an accident.    

Question: What are some clues that would tell Alex that the scene is not safe to approach? Once the scene is deemed safe, what should Alex do to assess the people involved in the car accident?

Baleigh’s Response: Some clues that would tell Alex the scene was not safe to approach would be the road conditions, if he could see blood inside the cars, or if the cars kept sliding due to the conditions of the road. If it was deemed safe, he should go to each victim and ask them if they were okay, if they were in pain, and if they didn’t answer in some way, he would know that they were unconscious. He should then call the ambulance and fire department. He should not try to move the victims only stay with them to make sure nothing else happens.

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

Let us introduce you to our student of the week, Kristin B.!

Kristin is currently taking Physiology through Carone Learning’s cFitness Academy.  Learn a little more about Kristin and find out what she likes most about our courses, teachers, and flexible online learning program.

What do you like most about your Carone Learning course?

A few things I really enjoy about my Carone Learning course is that I can set my pace and go quicker or slower each week as long as I meet my deadline, and that I can have a good one-on-one with my instructor, either by emails or phone calls.

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

My goal is to become a Registered Nurse, so the anatomy and physiology from Carone Learning are exposing me to what I would be learning in post-secondary education.

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

Carone Learning has helped my improve my level of health by teaching me some of the important functions my body performs – like what foods I need for proper digestion, or to keep my hair healthy.

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

My instructor has been a big help by explaining how the course works, what pace I should keep to make sure I get everything done in time, and material I do not understand; also, has been very encouraging since I started my courses.

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

I signed up for a Carone Fitness Academy because I really wanted to take anatomy and physiology, but could not fit it into my high-school schedule. It has been a beneficial course because now I am exposed to what I will be majoring in during college, and it is good to know about your body.

Here’s what Kristen’s teacher had to say about her: 

“Kristin is a great student. She communicates well, works on pace, and shows a strong understanding of the content.”

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

Let us introduce you to our student of the week, Kristen M.!  Kristen has taken multiple courses through Carone Learning’s cFitness Academy.  Learn a little more about Kristen and find out what she likes most about our courses, teachers, and flexible online learning program.

What do you like most about your Carone Learning course?

I like that I can do my work independently without any classroom distractions. I can work at a pace that works or me and I can challenge myself more than if I was in a classroom environment.

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

I have learned how to pace myself and change habits. Last semester and at the beginning of this semester, I have learned how to change habits you have formed over time. I think this is helpful because I’ve been wanting to make my habits better and the course has taught me how.

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

Now that I have learned about health habits and how to pace myself, I am drinking more water and staying hydrated. At the beginning of the summer, I barely drank any water or other beverages, but now I drink at least two bottles a day.

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

My instructor gave me an email and phone number to use in case I had any questions or problems throughout the course. Whenever something happens or I have a question, I email her about it to see if it can be fixed. My instructor is very helpful is always willing to work with you through your problems. When you email her, she always gets back to you within about 24 hours.

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

I signed up because I did not have room in my schedule to take health. I wanted to get my credit this year (my 9th grade year) so I would have three years to get my other two credits. The online course is beneficial to me because I can take all the classes I wanted to take this year and still have my credit for health. I wouldn’t be able to take the classes I’m in right now if it wasn’t for cFitness. Because of that, I am grateful.

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

cFitness has allowed me to work through health at a pace that fits my schedule. I am being more challenged and learning some great self studying skills because of online health.

Here’s what Kristen’s teacher had to say about her: 

“Kristen always wants to do her best no matter what. She is willing to retry an assignment to fix even a small mistake. I appreciate her thoughts and views and that she’s kind and caring to others.”

In Kristen’s Life Skills health class she has been exploring her own identity– what makes Kristen who she is?  As part of an assignment she identified her own personal mission statement, personal values and talents.    

Mission statement: “Make no enemies.” This was my grandpa’s life motto, and now it is my own. Personal Values: 1. I believe in love for everyone. 2. I believe in equality. 3. I believe in respect and loyalty. Talents: 1. I am artistic. 2. I am intelligent.

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