Niya is a sixth grader, who participates in both the Neighborhood Tutoring and Scholars programs here at FLOC. Niya\u2019s favorite subjects in school are math and science, because of their real life applications. When asked what she likes the most about FLOC, she grinned and replied, \u201cMy math tutor, Nick! He always laughs at my jokes and encourages me to keep trying, even if I don\u2019t get the answer right the first time.\u201d FLOC\u2019s tutoring program has also helped Niya to become more confident in the classroom; she\u2019s often one of the first to raise her hand and try to answer a question.<\/p>\n
The middle school Scholars program just completed a drama unit, which Niya also loved. \u201cI\u2019d like to become an actor, or singer\u2026 or a pianist!\u201d she said. All of the sixth grade students wrote skits, and Niya created a story about a girl who was both a popstar and an undercover superhero. \u201cI love everything about FLOC,\u201d she said. \u201cI hope I can come back every year, because I know it will help me get into college one day!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
