"The coolest thing I did this summer was ..."

By -
Yesterday during lunch, LSNews.org was on the prowl to ask students what the most interesting thing they did over the summer was. Here is a sampling of what we heard:

Julia Lambert 

Freshmen
Julia Lambert: "I didn't really do anything this summer. I went on vacation to Dewey Beach, in Delaware. I spent four days there... It was a lot of fun."
Ivy McComsey: "I went to Florida to visit some of my family down there for two weeks. And then, after I got home, three days later, I went to a Missions trip to New Orleans with my church [for ten days]. And then, five days later, I went to Millersville Hockey Camp. I came back from that, and then, I had to work, which was not fun. Then, I think I pretty much watched Doctor Who on Netflix for the rest of the summer."

Sophomores
Shannon Ferrari

Shannon Ferrari: "I went to Nashville, Tennessee to visit my family and stuff."

Claire Warner: "My dad had to go to a conference in Chicago, so we took a 17-hour train ride to get there. We stayed for a week and visited museums, like the Art Institute. And every Saturday, I went swing-dancing."






 

Juniors

Autumn Peters (L) and Meredith Vesey
Meredith Vesey: "I went to my brother's wedding."

Autumn Peters: "I went to a 5 Seconds of Summer concert. It was a lot of fun. I also got a new car."
Alexis Sutton: "I went to Disneyworld, the happiest place on earth."
Olivia Beiler: "I went to Hilton Head, South Carolina and Outer Banks, North Carolina... I went in the ocean and got 20 feet away from two six-foot sharks. It was scary."

Jack Drummond
Brenda Torres: "I went to Dorney Park... I don't really have a favorite ride, but I had fun."

Jack Drummond: "I went to Maine... I ate lobster. That was fun."
Allison Weidman: "I went to Mexico for a Missions trip for a week."
Bethany Bradford: "I went to Florida and then South Carolina and climbed around this lake... I didn't do anything. Absolutely nothing."


Brad Harris
Seniors
Derek Seiders: "I worked. All summer. I had two jobs, so yeah, that was it. I worked at Best Buy and Levi's. I also hung out with G-Snap."


G-Snap aka Brad Harris: "I did exactly what Derek did, but subtract the two jobs."

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 step face on p

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 and is r
