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.
