Mm M .. ?! I1J . ivimfe pirations Attained V Goal setters share common pride ,|§rin achieving personal recognition Practice makes perfect, and a per- fect performance puts one on the road to achievement. Most everyone has their own individual success stories about life. Making the international team and playing soccer in Honduras for three weeks was a great experience. Practicing daily and playing alternating days, I scored two goals and assisted four others in the eyes of crowds of 40,000, sophomore Ben Crawley said. From setting goals to achieving them, those who strived to achieve in- dividual recognition had to work for it. I had a perfect running season this year which really was a great way to end my high school career. Receiving a four- year scholarship to UT has really been a reward, but it didn ' t come free. I have worked extremely hard since 7th grade and each year 1 continue to push myself even harder, senior Scott Norman said. Late starters of special interests found themselves doubling-up practice time, achieving their personal levels. Each summer I used to dive for fun at the local pools. Then an ex-diver rec- ommended me to take it up. That was three years ago. I practice twice a day, six days a week for two hours, but in the end it will pay off itself. I ' ve been to two National meets where I ' ve had ex- tremely good performances. I ' d like to make the Olympic Team in 1992, so I must always continue to practice very hard, sophomore Brandon Gardner said. While each worked individually on their own talent, they share a common trait, hard work brought rewarding achievements. Ithough it may look like I didn ' t work really hard in order to receive my awards, I did; it didn ' t come easy. — junior Jennifer Bradley Head on. Playing on the inlcmation.il soccer team in Honduras, sophomore Ben Crawley leaps high to make contact with the ball. Ben was the only student from Westlake to qualify for the National team, which required practices in Colorado Springs. ON THE DOTTED LINE.
