Extreme "Sportsmanship" Award

Jenna Huff
High School Student wins the Extreme "Sportsmanship" Award from the U.S. Olympic Committee

Jenna Huff was just Sophmore in High School when she won this award. Being a talented athlete and participating in 5 sports she was in season for cross-country. During this 3 mile race Debb and Jenna were competing to proceed into the state finals. Jenna trying to trail Debb was on her last sprint. Deb coincidentally popped out her hip plate. Jenna catching up to the injured Deb decided to assist her to finish the race Jenna explains "It was the right thing to do." Jenna helped the injured and leading player Deb across the finish line giving Deb's team the lead to state.

this type of sportsmanship is umcommon on the West Coast, but on the East Coast there are more acts of kindness. And this sportsmanship is amazing, because even if it was against the rules Jenna felt as though she was doing the right thing to help Deb across, even at the cost of her team and placing in the race. By a sacrifice of giving someone the gate to the final, she recieved something more in turn by being awarded the Extreme "Sportsmanship" Award from a far greater organization.

Right v.s Popularity

Student Success Statement
"What's right isn't always popular. What's popular isn't always right."
Howard Cosell


There will alwasys be a time in our lives when we will not make the most popular choices. And sometimes CHOOSING THE RIGHT may be the unpopular choice. There are reasons to choose wrong, maybe like peer pressure, curiosity, or even because of a motto YOLO. But these are all decisions that are influenced by a wrong power. As people we have to take initiative to do the right no matter what others say.

Academics 101

Academic Success Part 1

 My great academic success: In my principles of marketing class, we had to come up with a new product and sell it. My group ended up with a couple supposedly bad students according to our teachers since they were the last ones picked. In the end, they helped out more than needed since I was a team leader I assigned them certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility. Delegating work always helps since it allows a group member individual work without separating the group.

 English, Math, foreign language tips: Math basically just takes practice. I always tell you students to take a blank sheet of paper and write down everything you know  about what you have learned or what you’re studying for in the class. If you don’t remember everything or start drawing blanks, then you need to study more and review your notes. Note cards work really well for foreign language. Here are my final tips of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: Go to class, make friends with people in class just in case you’re absent, and remember that you should want to learn.

 

CHOOSE THE RIGHT

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: When receiving a bad grade, I just try to do better on the second exam and study harder. It’s hard when you have your first test in class and have no idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect from your teachers.

 My strategies for written assignments: Start early and make sure that you have proofread it. Also, with written assignments, having a timeline planned out can help like by setting a certain number of pages done by a certain day before the paper is due.

How I succeed in team projects: COMMUNICATION! Despite your group synergy, communication is crucial. I remember when I ran out of cell phone minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. It’s really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same emails. The worst is when two people are working on the same portion of the project and don’t even realize it.
