Soever Settle ofor ehh Imagine yourself sitting in trigonometry with a problem that seems a mile long in front of you. What do you do? Most people would probably give up right about now. But there are a few select people who would hang in there and give the problem a shot, even though it looks impossible. Are you one of those people that keep on going and never settle for less? What is exactly meant by ’’Never Settle for Less?” Does it mean getting good grades? Making the basketball team? Being persistent in getting some- thing you want? Yes, it does mean all of those things, but it’s not limited to just doing good in everything you try. Half the battle is trying. This year’s theme was picked because of its relevancy to this school. Academically, the MEAP scores from last year showed an overall improve- ment in math, reading, and science; and that’s something to be proud of! In the sports department, the football team had yet another successful year with a final standing of 8-1, and the golf team did an outstanding job and went undefeated. There are also other aspects of school life that have been dramatically improved since last year. They include an increase in student particiption in clubs, a second guidance counselor, and a closer relationship between the school board, teachers, and parents due to the teachers’ strike at the begin- ning of the year. Almost every person in the world is faced with a challenge every day. Whether it be taking a biology test or just keeping a promise you made to your parents, these tasks can sometimes seem impossible. For the people who never settle for less, these challenges are simply a pebble in the road that must be tossed aside in order to continue. How can you develop an attitude like this? The answer is simple. The next time you’re faced with a problem that seems impossible, just do your best and never, ever, settle for less!
