Well, this past week was eventful for me and much of the
student body. On Saturday, the varsity volleyball team ended a great season in
Knoxville, Tennessee against Knoxville Webb School in a sub-state playoff match.
All the seniors were sad to have played in their last volleyball game for
Northpoint Christian School, but happy that it was a great, drama free year.
Speaking of drama, practices for the show Our Town began
a few weeks ago, and I'm the stage manager for the show. Everything is going
smoothly with the show so far, and it will turn out to be great! I'm sure of
it.
In addition, several senior girls in the Bachelorette Living
class are getting ready for the arrival of their egg babies. This project teaches
us what goes into the care and upkeep of a child. For the project, we are to
prepare a basket for the egg baby and provide some amenities for it. Then we
carry the basket with the egg baby around with us everywhere for several days.
Some girls have one egg baby, but others have twins or triplets.
As tests, quizzes, and homework continue and as we do additional
work to complete various class projects, I can't help but feel like pulling my
hair out sometimes. As a senior, I just want to politely decline and ask for my
diploma already. However, preparing for classroom assignments and tests and completing
assigned projects really teaches us time management and how to effectively
execute tasks, which are skills we need in college and in the real world. And
they say school is pointless!
