This Week at SBEC

Since my fellow students have already written volumes about their extensive involvement with all the different organizations in which they are members, I’ve been left at a slight disadvantage. Not because I have nothing to share, but simply that everything that sums up a week at SBEC has already been written.

No week passes that isn’t jam-packed with events: study sessions for the Pre-Calculus test the morning of the test, a presentation in Economics and American History, a synthesis essay in AP English, a Pre-Calculus test, a quiz on Latin vocabulary, and play practice after school. What is intriguing about this schedule is it wasn’t a daunting task at all to juggle all those events.

The teachers prepared us to use what time we had to our advantage. Sure, it may seem like it is almost too much to give an 11^th grader, but they know that college isn’t going to be sunshine and rainbows all the time (even though it may sound that way to all of us). Each week is an accumulative lesson, using every little thing we have ever learned to our advantage.

Truthfully, I enjoy the workload. Yes, I may complain about it when it seems especially heavy one week or another, but when I’m in college I’ll be thankful for my time-management skills. SBEC’s purpose is to prepare us for college, and that’s what I feel it’s doing for me.
