In My Own Words

In this installment of In My Own Words, Stewart McClain talks about playing on the Section 3 champion golf team.  

This week, the Lampeter-Strasburg Golf team won the Section 3 title. The last match I didn't play in because I didn't qualify but our team still won. We won the section title by about 30 to 40 strokes. The six members that contributed for the match was Austin Lauver as our first seed and Pat Holmes as our second seed.
Those are also our two seniors on the team. Austin went on to play in Leagues. Our three and four seeds were Katie Lapinsky and Matt Wilson. Matt and Katie both went onto to play in Leagues along with Austin. After that Katie went on to play in Regionals.

Going through the season we played really well and all of us were at the top of our games. In the second to last match we went up two points/matches to Octorara. When we knew that we were all really hype and excited. It was almost a bug sigh of relief. 

We almost knew we had it in the bag. I went that day to watch the match after school, and I followed one of my friends. Even though I didn't know how my other teammates were doing, I could almost tell from the smell in the air we were going to win.

In My Own Words is a first person written series that highlights Lampeter-Strasburg High School students activities.

Advice: How to get straight As

By -

Achieving straight As, or an unweighted GPA of 4.0, is the goal of many high school students. Getting straight As involves a lot of hard work, but it isn't impossible. Here is how I believe you can get all As. Do your homework. The number of students who do not do their homework shocks me. But doing your homework has many benefits and will help keep your grades up. Those five points you receive for a homework check matter, and when you get a 0 out of 5, it matters even more. Doing your homework also helps you learn the information, raising your test and quiz grades as well. Don't procrastinate. Procrastination is the downfall of many high school students who are capable of good grades. When you receive an assignment, do it ASAP. And when you are given the date of a test, start studying immediately instead of waiting and then cramming the night before. When you do this, you are likely to be less stressed, which increases the quality of the work you do. Don't put ...

Rumble Fish Book Review

I recently finished reading  Rumble Fish  written by S.E. (Susan Eloise) Hinton and published in 1975. The book starts with Rusty-James on a beach and he runs into an old friend of his that he hadn’t seen in years, Steve. That’s when he flashes back to everything he and Steve had done and been through when they were kids. Rusty-James’ memory is all messed up, and he barely ever remembered much from his childhood, but seeing Steve made everything come back to him… and that was probably for the worst. Most of the book is from Rusty-James’ point of view (in a flashback) when he was fourteen years old. He was the toughest kid in his neighborhood… besides his brother, the Motorcycle Boy, of course. The Motorcycle Boy’s real name is never said, everyone just calls him the Motorcycle Boy because he was constantly stealing and riding motorcycles. He was older than Rusty-James and everyone in their neighborhood respected him and thought he was the coolest and toughest guy to ...

Book Review Before school started, I went to Barnes & Noble to get a few books from my favorite author, S.E. (Susan Eloise) Hinton, to read as the year started. I got That was Then This is Now , Rumble Fish , (a third copy of) The Outsiders , and Tex .  I had already read The Outsiders at least nine times, I had finished That was Then This is Now , and I had just finished Rumble Fish , so I decided to pick up Tex and start reading. The author of these books writes them in the only way I can ever read books. First person point of view with a relatable narrator.  This one was told by the point of view of Texas (Tex) McCormick, a fourteen year old boy who is living with his brother Mason because they’re mom died when Tex was little and their dad walked out on them a few months back.Texas (Left) and Mason (Right) McCormick Texas believes that Pop (their dad) will be back soon, but Mason knows otherwise…or at least he thinks he does. Tex has a few close friends...
