Super Star Student x100

As a college student everyday is different for me. Between work,school, and the everyday life its hard to find a balance at times. With all the things I do in my life, sometimes I feel like I have super powers managing my time! If could have real superpowers in the classroom I think my entire life would be a little calmer.Through the shuffle of my everyday life I tend to get a little forgetful in certain areas that my brain sees as "unnecessary" , probably because my brain is on overload with things.

Having the super powers of having a photogenic memory to take mental images to remember would be ideal in the classroom setting for me.Having images to come back to at any time would help me throughout the entire classroom. 

Any time I have a test, instead of staring at the paper hoping the answers will come to me I could simply read the question, mentally look back at that day and the lesson to answer question by question.Also, once I obtain any information from one class I could utilize those little "images" of things between all classes. Me remembering things can essentially lead to me not having to take any notes....ever, and I okay with that, its like 2 problems with one power. (SAVE THE TREES...HAVE SUPERPOWERS...SAVE THE HAND CRAMPS OF WRITING)  

Also, I think having this power would let me help so many more people inside the classroom as well. I can master multiple skills and subjects, or even all of them if I wanted to and then be able to share my knowledge with others. A downfall to this would be me getting frustrated with teaching others, simply because they don't learn as easy as  I would. ...hmm there is always a down side of being super I guess.

ASB kids were cool in highschool ?

 (wierd ASB family)






















I was going into my senior year in high school and wanted to do something to impact my school.I decided to make a bold move and interview for ASB. I decided to try out for PEP/Activities since I was a very spirited person throughout high school.

Day one of interviews was so nerve wrecking. It was a hot day, and I was freaking out on what questions they were going to ask me. I walked in and the entire table was full of the"board" of people. My interview went smoothly even though I was stuttering within answering just about every question. I had the grades,experience,and activities they were looking for and I went out of that interview confident.After the interview at school I experienced a lot of criticism from fellow classmates.Since I'm a pretty quite person and was a tad be of a nerd, I was told I couldn't and wouldn't make this position that requires an outgoing person.

About a week later started the 2nd round of the interview  process which was a speech in front of a board of people as well as some staff members. I tried to get creative in this process by spelling out " spirit" within my speech saying how I WOULD fit in and reasons why.That day I felt the most confident in the process.I was waiting in a huge line and realized everyone was trying out for the same position I was. I started getting anxious knowing in the past there has only been about 3 or 4 spots in this regent. So here I go again walking,this time into a full library of people waiting for my 2 minute speech. I felt everyone's eyes glued to me and my little posters with my speech taped to the back. I saw the excitement and heard the little giggles within my speech. I wanted to make it factual but also fun for I wanted to be responsible for organizing all the activities within my school.

 Once I finished I felt a sense of relief,and went home secretly thinking who I thought would make it based off who was in line with me.

The following week was the moment of truth, I received a note in one of my classes that I made it ! I felt so happy in that moment. I proved that I can make it for myself and also show others that I have potential to make an impact in my school.

 This accomplishment continued and grew into others throughout my entire year. I was blessed with that opportunity and it has really shaped me into the person I am. I know its not a big deal for anyone else but, for me it was great !!!!

Student as a cheerleader.

I've been a cheerleader for now going on 10 years.I started off on sideline and competitive cheer but found my passion in all-star cheer.I'm currently on a Coed level 6 team. Cheer is my life and I've always had to balance being a student and being in cheer because of competitions,and practices. This was easy to me because I got to think of cheer in a different way.I think of being a student as being in a cheer stunt. 

The bases:My teachers and Professors

 Me/student: Flyer

The coach: Is my family

The crowd: Is society 

The bases are responsible for guiding me up to the air. They are the ones giving the flyer the tools she needs to stay up in the air. They lift the flyer up and have to check up on her/him to see if they're okay in the air.( A teacher checking in on the student and giving them the correct tools they need)

(can you see me?)

Me, the student is the flyer. I am up on top of the pyramid, it is my responsibility to stay tight (focused), remember what my coach taught me, and apply the knowledge I learned through experience ,such as falling down and failing.Also, if my bases are failing at doing their part, I'm going to do everything in my control to stay up in the air and save the overall stunt.

The coach is the one who is responsible to be on the same page as the whole team. They are the motivators to do better and to work harder towards our goals for the team.

(my HHS coach)

The crowd are the spectators. Sometimes this is other classmates or society in a whole. They observe and watch your every move to see if you're going to stick every stunt or not and also what the outcome is going to be in the end, getting an award or not.(diploma)
