Surviving And Enjoying It Do you have a quiz over hundreds of vocabulary words each week? Do you need to memorize the facts about the Renaissance in just one evening? Are you trying to solve problems that baffled Einstein, but all your calculator will do is flash “error” on its screen? Does your homework interfere with your social life, and vice versa? Don’t let frustration set in! Be a survivor! Survival is defined as: the struggle for existence; the ability to stay alive. At Jacksonville High School, however, survival is more than just hanging in when the going gets tough. Survival here also means the ability to succeed under difficult circumstances. The life of a high school student is often a hectic one with many conflicting demands. Jacksonville High School is constantly in motion, day and night. Diversions abound, creating an atmosphere which is conductive to forming the complete person: one who takes pride in academics but also one who takes advantage of the variety of opportunities offered by the school in its wide list of co-curricular activities. A survivor is a student who learns to balance academics with outside interests while maintaining a reasonable social life (though staying home long enough for parents to remember his or her name). Sounds like too much? Not if you’re a survivor! 10 Student Life
