Senior Update

Sawyer Wilson

 

It is December time for the Senior update. Our seniors are planning for the 2010 year and many of them are training for the upcoming basketball season.

Seniors are applying for scholarships and colleges. It seems like you have to fill out a ton of paper work and for some even compose a multiple page essay. For some it’s  hard to complete all those applications and still get their homework done. With all the pressure students need time to relax and forget about their worries. I’ve asked our seniors what they do on their free time to calm down and get away from all the school work and pressure. Everybody has there own way of just relaxing and clearing there mind.

“What I do to relax and get away from school is I will put on my favorite robe and then start reading my comics. Comics make me just relax and forget all my problems.”- Isaac Hale

“I will go outside with my horse Smokey. When I am around him he makes me forget about reality”             Randi Wilson

“The best way for me to relax is to put on my favorite music then just go lie down and let all my worries drift away.”- Sina Kilian

“I will play videogames, watch T.V. or read.” Elias Lopez

“When I get overwhelmed with school and I just want to quit, I will go for a long run or walk. I mainly will just want to go for an adventure. It helps me take my mind off of school.” Petie Bensin

Students need time to themselves to calm down and realize that they can handle all the work and pressure. With finals coming up, the students need to be relaxed and ready to study for finals.

In addition, the seniors in AVID are planning the senior trip. In AVID they have split-up into groups and are researching how much it will cost for the class to go to either Santa Cruz or Lake Tahoe. This includes lodging, meals and transportation.
