Eighth Grade Experiences l|0 Along IUUK 'friends Rnd Wild Animals M(!ome learned to do what it —'takes to be accepted, while some learned to be more lenient about acceptance. They became better friends, said YO Chaperone Dr. Yvonne French, Students learned to get along with one another as a group. YO is a traditional eighth grade class trip taken near Kerrville, Texas in the fall. It teaches the students to cooperate, trust, try challenging activities and broaden their circle of friends. They also learn to respect nature and be comfortable around wild animals. Every student that went gained significantly. said Commander Clyde Carter, a second year YO Chaperone. However, '[There was] too much individuality for teamwork. Contradicting Dr. French's observation, he felt that there were too few rules, creating moments of unraveling and chaos. YO included a Challenge Course which is geared for personal achievement. One part of the course is called the Pamper Pole. It is 16 inches in diameter and towers above the ground at 30 feet. The student must climb it with only a safety line around the waist, then stand up on the top. The student then jumps off trying to catch a triangular bar. If caught, one just hangs up there, then drops to a net. If not, one hangs in midair by the safety line. People who finished the 'Pamper Pole' had a good feeling about themselves, said Carter. Eighth grader, Ainsley Rolfs said she was contemplating whether I could trust the rope to hold me or not while she was on the Pamper Pole. Rolfs also said, I was hoping I wouldn't fall and be embarrassed in front of the boys. They loved climbing the pole, said Dr. French. It demonstrated a lot of personal responsibility which they weren't used to. Heather Whittington, an eighth grade student, said her most memorable experience there was the overnight cam-pout. We looked at the stars, watched the sun set and learned how to build fires. Overall, the eighth graders learned to both cooperate and respect others in a group, and to challenge themselves as individuals.
