Senior Season--Tennis

So far my senior season of tennis is going really well. I have mixed feeling though, in the past 3 years i have always been 2nd or 3rd singles and just waiting for when i was a senior because Laura was going to graduate and allow me to be first singles. But this year we have 2 new really good freshmen making me be third singles. My goal for this season was to be number one. That is not going to be the case. I just have to look at the good side which is this means the team will be in a really good position for the next 4 years while we have 2 good first and second players. Also with me being 3rd singles this means that I will most likely be able to win more games, I will feel better about my self if I am wining more games.

I am preserving in my activities because this is my fourth season of tennis, and even though i did not get the spot that i wanted i will continue to play.

I am also developing new skills because in practice each day I am learning new things.

Speaking on behalf of Sturgis/IB

In the past few weeks the guidance department and Mr. Steedman have asked me to participate in talking to the sophomores, sophomores parents, and also a school who is thinking of becoming an IB school. I enjoy these things, I have had a good experience in the IB program and I think more people should be able to experience it.

2. Undertook new activities because I am not a good public speaker, talking in front of people is scary for me. and by doing this activity I am undertaking new challenges.

4. I worked with others because in all of the different situations I worked with others in talking to the people.

Polar Bear Plunge

Last weekend I did the polar bear plunge at west dennis beach. It was really fun! It was very good to do. The point of the polar bear plunge was to raise money for the MSPCA. Sturgis raised over $300 which was very good. This is globally important because there are animals all over the world who are abused, and need love and attention. I wish that the polar plunge got more press so that the message got out to more people. At the beach that day there were a fair amount of people but their could have been more.

Again this is globally important because around the world there are always animals who need love and attention. I know that through my travels I have seen plenty of animals who are stray and could use some love. this was very true in Costa Rica there were so many stray dogs, and cats.

Math Competion

At the Math Competion today, I did pretty well it was tough but it was fun! i didn't get all of it right but i feel like i did pretty well

I have been doing this activity for all 4 year, i really like it and i will miss it next year when i no longer have the option to continue.

I also have increased awareness of my self because i know my limitations with math and i know where i need to improve.

Soi

I went to another SOI meeting today, It was interesting. We watched a movie on where food came from. I really want to eat better now.

6. This is of global importance, because eating organic is a global discussion and a global fad right now. Also eating organizing also effects people from around the world because a lot of fair trade food is organic, and it also benefits 3rd world countries.

Januarys Math Competion

Today there was another math competition. I did not do to well, I only got one problem correct. But thats ok they are very hard problems.

3 I planned activities because I had to talk to my teacher before hand about missing part of class in order to participate.

Math comp.

Last Wednesday, there was another math comp, i didn't do as well as I though. but it was still fun.I think that i only got 3 right but thats still good their are really hard.

I undertook new challenges because they are really hard.

I developed new skills because the math is tricky and now i know how to solve those problems now.

Surf Club

I made the next deposit for the trip the other day. This is making it seem more and more real!

I am showing perseverance because i said i would pay to be able to go on the trip and I am paying slowly but surly.

And also by paying fr this trip I am developing new skills by learning how to save money and also when we get to costa rica i will be further learning how to surf!

Soccer Yesterday

At soccer yesterday it was really sad because we lost the game in the last minute which meant that were not going to states. It was even harder because everyone didn't know what this game meant except for a few.

With this game i had to consider the ethical implications because i was very upset that we lost but i had to be happy for the team because even though we didn't win or tie we still played the best game of the season. Also i had to go on with the good game clap even though all i wanted to do was go home.

I also undertook new challenges because i really had to work to put on a happy face.

Soccer

This week at soccer has been pretty good. We haven't done too much. I had to miss practice on Tuesday because of schoolwork, and yesterday we went to go watch the JV game. That was REALLY fun. i never really get a to watch the game because normally I'm playing for the whole time, or trying to get back into the chane game. So i really enjoyed it. Today practice got canceled because of inclement weather. There is supposed to be a game tomorrow in P-town but its supposed to be very bad weather, so we will see.

I have been working collaboratively with others because its a team and also because I'm captain.

ALS Walk

On Saturday September 26 I went on a Walk for ALS it was a 3.7 mile walk. It was really fun! it rose awareness for ALS as well as it helped raised money. I was not able to raise any money but i think the most important part was just the group of us walking down the road. It made just the drivers stop and notice the crowd and maybe they'll donate money to cause.

This is an important cause to me because one of my friends fathers died of ALS when my friend was only four years old. So I was really happy to choose.

This activity covers, Engaged in actives of global importance because ALS effects people from all over the world, and this disease is one of the worst in the world, it slowly stops all of your muscles so you end up dieing because you can no longer breathe because you lungs are a muscles as well.

ALS Walk

I have signed up to do an ALS walk this saturday to help raise money for ALS.

This is considering the ethical implications because I hope that with the money that i help raise, it will help find a cure. This is very important to me because one of my friends fathers died at a very young age to ALS when my friend was still very young.

This also is a global importance because when they find a cure it will help people all over the world.

Soccer 9-18

So far this week soccer has been easy there has been no practices which have made school a lot easier this week.

But last week was really fun! the week ended with a soccer game Friday night under the lights! it was really fun! and I ALMOST scored i was so close! it made me so mad that I missed it though. Before the game we did team bonding things at the school that was a new experience for me because, i am not used to being in charge like that! I'm more comfortable being the quiet one so it was defiantly undertaking a new challenge.

also I and Nikki were the ones that came up with the idea of the team bonding but i was the one that came up with the ideas to make the t-shirts! so that is planed actives

Soccer 9-18

So far this season has started off good! Being a captain is more responsibility that i knew about and thats why its a new challenge. I have to be at everything, and I'm the one that needs to talk to the girls if they are having a bad day and what not so it not just as easy as in past when i can just show up to practice and play and have fun but its still really fun im really liking soccer this year! As a result I am working collabertly with others because i have to be im captain.

So far this week has been a good week. We have had one game this week and we had one game last week also. We lost both of them but we are imporving a lot. We have a big game tonight under the lights at Old Town House against P-Town and I think that we are going to win. Im hoping that we do anyway!!

Soccer this season!

Today at practice coach announced captains!!! me and Nikki are captains together! which is really good! im really excited about it.


but anyway soccer this season has been going well so far. i like the new kids that are coming to the them and also! one good thing for me is that the summer league that i played in according to coach helped me out a lot, and it makes sense playing with people that are much better pull you up to their level in a sense.

we had a scrimmage against Pope John Paul the other day and we won by a lot which is to be expected, they are middle schoolers with no real soccer program but i think it was a good thing to do because, it showed the new players how to play and were to be.

I have undertaken new challenges, because I'm now a captain.

Also i have shown perservence because this is my fourth year on this team and a lot of the players who were freshmen with me are no longer on the team.

Mock Disaster in Maine

Today was the mock disaster in Maine. it was really fun! what happened was we all got up early and went to the community center/fire department to get make-up and get our assignments. I got to have a open are fracture, cut of my face and a hurt back. my assessment was to lay on the dock in servere pain from my arm and back. then we road down to the dock in ambulances which was fun because i had never been in one before. once everything started happening i was one of the first ones to get saved so they brought be back to the fire station in the ambulance again but this time on a body board and the whole deal. then we road back to the dock because there was no body at the fire station. all in all it was really fun and i think that it did help out the rescue men because this was a trial run where nothing was really serious for them to try to figure out what they would do if a big boat did crash into a dock while there are a bunch of kids around during a sailing lesson.

Planned: I helped plan this activity because i called up the fire department and told them that i would like to help out.

Consider ethical: this is a big one for consider the ethical implications. its important because if the fire department didn't put this on then the rescues would be going on nothing when something major like this does happen. they will have no trials and errors to go on. after all of this happened i heard that htey went back to the fire station and discussed what happened and how everything went, making decisions on how to do stuff better when everything is for real


I also got the adult supervisors information

Mock disaster in Maine

This saturday there is going to me a mock disaster, i just signed up and now i just need to wait till Saturday. whats going to happen is there going to pretend a big boat ran into the dock and crashed and sunk during a sailing lesson. what im going to do is still a little bit unclear, but i do know that i will be made up with make up and stuff to look like i had serious injuries, and also they are going to take some people to hospital in ambulances, and they are going to land a helicopter on the town green. (this is all very exciting for this town because its so small, about 300 people live here year round. and only 4 business)

Soccer this summer

I haven't been able to play in the league for the past 2 weeks because we went of a family vacation up to Sorrento Maine. And the week before that i was not able to play due to injuries that i got from gymnastics. I just submitted the adult supervisor form, because now the season is over.

Throughout the season i developed new skills because i was playing with people who were much better than i was, now im excited to show my school coach my new soccer skills.

Also i undertook new challenges because i had never played at this level of soccer before.

Tennis May 27

This has been a good week at tennis so far but now tennis is over so I have a lot of free time. This week i covered that i took on new chalanges because we went to states for the first week ever so that was a new chalange and also a new chalange would be that the states mathch was right after prom and after prom so i was really tired and i have never played with that little sleep before.

I showed commintemnt because i went to the game and i was really tired and i didn't want to go, and that comminment because i went.

Lasly i am going to be captain next year which is exciting.

Were going to STATES!!!!!!

this was a good week in tennis, we found out that were going to states!!! which is really exciting. we made it to states with 2 or three more matches to play which mean if we win those matches we have a chance of going onto the second round which would be AMAZING!!! we are the second girls team to make it (girls soccer was the first-that was fun also) now tennis!

4 because I'm on a team so i have to be working together with others

5 because this season I've been really stressed out with school and i have been thinking of dropping tennis to give me some more time, but i keep going back to it, because its fun and i enjoy it so its showing my commitment to my team!
