Students enjoy entirely different or routine lives of their own, and they all do their own thing.<\/p>\n

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: \u2018\u2019I 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.\u201d \u00a0Everyone 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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019Neal likes to \u00a0have time to just be herself.\u00a0 \u201cI love to sing and read, listen to music, just watch TV, or chat with friends on the computer\u201d states O’Neil. Nathan Williams says \u00a0\u201cMy hobbies include taking pictures, being with my girlfriend, playing badminton, and being the best possible friend to others.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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. \u00a0I am not going to graduate high school if I do not do my homework and try my best in my classes. \u00a0If 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,\u201d as O’Neal put it, is how her life out of school compares with her life in school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
