Achieving Personal Goals Whether it ' s an A on a major test or a touchdown on the football field, people achieve personal goals ever- yday. The class of 1990 has achieved many goals for this school as well as themselves. Students raised a lot of money through the magazine sales. $18,801 dollars were raised during this ten day activity. More than the money though, it really showed that Nova had some great achievers who were willing to work. Nova ' s students have been excep- tional about trying out for new things. It was nice to see the stu- dents encouraging each other to try out for cheerleading, sports, and student government offices. In or- der to succeed, people have to at least try. Nova ' s students have shown everyone, including them- selves, that they can achieve any- thing that they set their minds on doing. Students had different ideas about goals. Rhonda Snyder ' s feelings about how to approach goals were very simple. I simply look at all perspectives and think about what it will take to accomplish it. Her major goal was to get rid of her shyness and to become a better stu- dent. Rhonda was a good example of how many of the students felt. Another example of a student ' s idea towards goals came from Ca- sey Stomps. He felt that it took a lot of practice in an area to achieve a goal. His pride came through when asked what goal he had ac- complished that he was the most proud. I was the most proud when I took fifth place at a national mo- torcycle race, Casey said. Stu- dents felt that goals were impor- tant to keep each other going through the year. In the future, they will continue to make their dreams come true by achieving per- sonal goals. (Wa T J Matt Gugin worked hard and came out a winner in the end. The thrill of victory is exper- ienced by Jamey Ricardi. Sheri Xatvig and Anne Pelote boast their A ' s on Mr. Asnicar ' s big test. 6 Achieving Personal Goals

Promoting Growth Getting in shape is not only physical, but mental as well. People grow in many aspects. They learn, grow, and change. When they learn, they acquire knowledge that will be needed for their future. Learning helps a person to grow and mature. Most people here understood this and tried to promote growth by learning many new abili- ties. They helped people to expand their minds and face many new hori- zons. Physical growth takes teamwork and time. Sports is often a big part of this growth. Sports teach people to pay at- tention to their physical needs, so they can stay in shape and grow properly. Sports develop endurance, stamina, and stability. These things also help in other activi-) ties where eamwork is involved such as, studght government and foreign languages Student government re- quires energy and the ability to solve problems easily. If this is hard for the person to do, other people in the group will help them to grow and learn more. It requires endurance so that the peo- ple can help lead the school and stand in front of large audiences to give speeches. Learning foreign languages requires energy. People need to memo- rize each word and workout patterns that make it easier to learn. Foreign languages take teamwork. Teams can work together on correct pronunci- ations of words and quiz each other on verb tenses and vocabulary especially if their parents can ' t help them with the language. This makes it easier to learn. All this put together promotes changes of which most are positive. These changes were good for our school. They helped us to grow. The teachers lead us in this growth. That is why people at Nova were the leaders bf Promoting Growth. 1. Mr. Jim Decker helps Cammie Lee ad- yL just the microphone before giving her winning , speech. 2. Lisa Dury, Camala Flinn, and Jennifer Ah Sing learn about makeup in Fashion and Fitness. 3. Mr. LonMcCasland gives the purple team a pep talk during half time. Promoting Growth 5
