I a n u 5 ' ' QF! F A C I N G l i t's two o'clock in the morning and you still have two more pages to type on a research paper due tomorrow. You know that you shouldn't have put it off until now, but there were so many other things you had to do. Now the equiva- lent of an exam grade hangs in the balance. The tension in your stomach fights the weight of your eyelids. Facing stress is an everyday event. Everyone has demands made upon them. It may be harder for high school students because of the newness of it. Now you have to worry about getting the grades to get into college, about playing well enough to get on the team, about play- ing well enough to be on a winning team. There never seems to be a quiet moment for yourself, to stop and find out who you are, to decide slowly and surely what you really want. Instead, life becomes a runaway ride on a carrousel gone crazy. Grades, dating, job, car, social status, and the looming question of the future all combine to make a heavy weight to carry. They make the face worn, tired, and give it the lines that come with maturity. The rea- son seniors look so different from freshman is not just that they are four years older, but they are tested and tried, by four years of stress. But, relax and remember that the seniors survived their time here. After all, just as the pain of working out gives you increased ability to perform, so do the stresses of each day give you increased strength to handle the next year.
