By: Jon Sommers On the first day of school August 13, 2014, students participated in a “Compass Points Activity.” \u00a0Students discovered whether they were a north, south, east or west. This activity taught and defined their strengths and limitations.<\/p>\n

When students arrived to class on August 13, 2014 they had to partake in an activity called the \u201cCompass points activity.\u201d Each direction had a set of words that described them. Then the students provided a set of words that described them. Freshman Brooke Eckert said that she would describe herself as \u201cbossy, and pushy because I like things to get done so when someones slacking off I kinda push them to get back on task.\u201d Freshman Autumn Wilson said that she would describe herself with the words \u201ccaring, compassionate, involved (in activities), friendly, and responsible. I think that I’m a pretty nice person and I always try to help my friends and other people. I’m more reserved and quiet, but I consider myself to be pretty friendly.\u201d Sophomore Bayli Czarnecki said \u201cI suppose I am very picky, but I focus on the big picture. I am unorganized.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are four different directions: north, south, east and west. Czarnecki said \u201cMy direction was east. I think I am kind of a mix between multiple directions.\u201d Eckert said, \u201cNorth because I like to get things done and don’t really care what it takes.\u201d Wilson said, \u201c I wanted to pick in between two directions, but I couldn’t so I chose west. I think that south is more of my main direction though and west would be my secondary direction.\u201d Wilson mentioned that she \u201cwanted to pick in between two directions.\u201d Wilson also mentioned that she thought \u201cthat someone could be in the middle of two directions, but I think that they would favor one over the other. I think that I am one of these people and because the points can compliment one another you could be the in between of two directions.\u201d North and South are opposites as are East and West. Eckert said, \u201cYes, because its possible for someone to be a little north and<\/p>\n

south, like to get things done but cares about feelings.” Now that students know which direction they are, Eckert said, \u201cI do see some people grouping together because their directions are either the same or they compliment each other. I also understand why some people don’t get along, but other people had friends that were opposites which was interesting to see and think about.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
