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.

Zumba Class

I went to a Class at the gym on Monday, It was Zumba, it was a dance thing. I didn't really like it. But I tried it anyways.

2. I undertook a new challenge because i tried a new class.

Gymnastics 1-19-10

At gymnastics yesterday, I had a lot of fun! I was on trampoline again, doing the steps to start to learn back tucks, and I was also learning the steps to do side aerials. These are cartwheels without hand! They look pretty easy actually, I almost had it! Then I went to bars and was doing my pullovers again, but when i saw my dad I wanted to show him just one more, and then my hands ripped. I think that it is really bad but the girls who are there do not think that it is bad at all.

I undertook new challenges because of the side aerial.

I also developed new skills, every time I go to gymnastics I learn new skills

Gymnastics on Tuesday

On tuesday I went to gymnastics! It was really fun Like always and I know that I am starting to get into better shape because yes I am still soar today but it is not as bad as it has been in past weeks. Also my hands are getting really tough from being on the bars so much!

I tried to do the pull over again and I got it on my own again but I was on a bar that was much high so it was much harder.

I am increasing my knowledge of my own growth because I am now aware of what I can and cannot do.

I undertook new challenges because I tried to do a pull over on the higher bar which is a lot harder.

Gym Day 2

Yesterday I went to the gym again. I was going to go to the body blast class, but it was full. So i decided to go on the olpitical machine instead of the class. I have never used one of the olpitical things. I think I like it. Will see if I use it in the future.

I undertook new challenges because I have never used one of those things things before and I had to figure it out.

Rebounding Class

Today I went to the gym and participated in a Rebounding Class. This class is like a dance kind of work out Class but on mini Trampolines. I liked it but me being tall and having strong legs made me be out of time because i jump to high. I don't know if I will go back to this class mainly because normally i cant make it due to school, but it was fun, but really hard.

I undertook new challenges because its a new class and it was hard

I developed new skills because I have never tried to dance on a trampoline before

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.

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.

NEMC

Today was the new england math competition- i though that i could have done better but that is ok. I got three out of 6 correct.
I challenged my self with doing the competition also because its math that you rarely ever use. I think that their fun because they are hard problems but they are do-able
also i learned new ways to go about solving difficult math problems.

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.

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.

soccer on tuesday

This tuesday we played Sandwich in sandwich. it was fun. i got a lot of playing time and im getting in better shape so playing is getting easier and easier with every game that i get into better shape. we won by one the final score was 6 to 5

and i have undertaken new chalanges because im am playing on a team where everyone is a lot better than i am.

Thursday june 25

Thursday we played against barnstable again, but this time we lost. I think that we lost because of the people who weren't there that day were all of the best players that were mainly the forwards so we didn't have any goal scores... but we still had fun and i almost got a goal!

2 because i was planing on doing this with rachel crafts from Sturgis but i don't think that she is really going to keep on doing it. so I'm doing it all on my own.

First Soccer Game

On Tuesday June 16, we played Barnstable. This was my first time playing in this league. For this game barnstable didn't have enough players so Rachel, Kelly, and I all volunteered to play for the other team. We got the win because Barnstable had to forfeit the game, but DY did win anyway. It was really fun. I played for just about the whole game. It was a lot harder than i thought that it would be because we played 2 45 minute half. Im used to playing 2 35 minute half not in the summer when its really warm. Also when i play for the school we have subs so when you get tired you can get a sub. also the level of play in this league is a lot higher than I'm used to. so its really hard. but i forgot how much fun soccer is so I'm really enjoying playing!

I undertook new challenges because i have never played in this league before so I'm undertaking new challenges and also, is a new level of play so its definitely undertaking new challenges.

I'm working with others also because I'm on a team.

Front Layout at Gymnastics

This week at gymnastics I learned how to do a front layout. That is developing new skills because i learned something new. A front layout is a front flip but you are straight in the air like a pencil. I have increased awareness of my strengths because i know that I can now do that, and it was hard, and lastly i undertook new challenges because i had never done that 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.

New Vault

Two weeks ago at gymnastics was really fun. I did the normal things bars tumble track, and tumbling on the floor! all of the fun stuff. Then i looked over and saw some of the girls that were going over the "real" valut and i asked if i could try and Lesely said "yes!" it was really fun. at first she told me to do a flip over which i didn't because i thought that would be really scary, so i just did what everyone else was doing, like a handstand on it then flipping down. it was really fun i did it three times but then i had to go my mom was waiting.

This hits 1 because, when i learned how to do the new vault i became aware of new streghths of mine, and Lesely said that i was good at it also

2 because i tried a new vault

8, i devloped new skills becaue i have never done that vault before!
