1: Has your attitude about school changed after your last four years of High School? Yes, instead of looking at it as just having to come to school and go to class, everyday is a new day and I'm meeting new people and enhancing the skills that I will need once I go to college. Now that I'm a Senior I realize that everything you do in high school is important once you leave to go out to live in the world. Doug Sharpe 2: If you were able to change anything at Blue Valley, what would it be? I would like to change from 55 to 45 minute hours. This year I didn't get to take all the classes I wanted. That extra hour would allow me and many other people to get the most out of our education. I want to take different courses while the learning pace is still easy. Once you get into college, the pace goes so fast; you have no time to experiment with what you learn. Debbie Schopper 3: Many schools think of Blue Valley as being a hick school, what do you think about it? I think many people mistakenly classify the inhabitants of Stanley in the hick category. I feel that Blue Valley has a lot of good aspects; one being, the number of students. There are enough students to have quality programs in many areas yet small enough that you can know most everyone. If students from other schools would visit Blue Valley, I'm sure they would change their minds. David Mozier 4: Have the personalities of your classmates changed after coming here to Blue Valley? Yes, last year everybody looked up to us and now we're older but looking up to older friends. We've made lots of new friends that have changed our personalities, and friends from last year have changed over the summer. We're older now and more responsible. Ann Warner
