Students enjoy entirely different or routine lives of their own, and they all do their own thing.
Life is normal or just plain day-to-day routine, then people move on, or so it seems. Senior Alex Jaggers describes an average day: ‘’I feel my day is oddly average. I do the same thing before, during and after school every day. Out of school I am either working at Ponderosa, with my girlfriend, or just at home doing yard work.” Everyone does his or her own thing and otherwise Freshman Nathan Williams describes each day as an adventure that holds something new day-to-day. Each day is about as unique as we are as individuals.
Life is no day-to-day routine. Certainly all people have at least something they like to do in and out of school. Aside from looking out for her education, freshman Katelyn O’Neal likes to have time to just be herself. “I love to sing and read, listen to music, just watch TV, or chat with friends on the computer” states O’Neil. Nathan Williams says “My hobbies include taking pictures, being with my girlfriend, playing badminton, and being the best possible friend to others.”
Prior to his job at Ponderosa, Jaggers spent his time playing football for PHS. Spending time in tutoring is what Williams says is his closest thing to an after school activity and as for O’Neal, she is a member of the student council.
“I think that the choices I make can affect who I am and my life and attitude and I believe that if you want to achieve something then you have to do the right things to get there. I am not going to graduate high school if I do not do my homework and try my best in my classes. If I were to choose to do the wrong things, I know that I would have a terrible attitude and hang out with the wrong crowd, or not really care about my education or my future,” as O’Neal put it, is how her life out of school compares with her life in school.
