Tennis-Going to states!

I am very proud to be part of the Sturgis girls tennie team. This week we are practicing and working hard to get ready to go to states. Though I will not be playing in these games because we want to play are best and most experienced players, I am happy to even be part of the team. I will get to see my team mates play and I think that it will help me learn more about tennis just by watching them. I can learn a lot by seeing their serves and other moves because they are the best of are team and so I will one day want to play like them. I am very proud that are team has made it to states and will continue to sport our team and learn!

Tennis-Improved serve

I played a match with my team and during the first half my serving went very well. As the game went on I missed some serves but I was seeing improvment. One thing that helped me achive this was that a team member showed me a different way to throw the ball so that the ball is more in front of you so you have to take a step and follow through to hit the ball. This way the step would allow me to provide more power and control over my serves which really helped. It was nice to have another team member helping me out because it helped me improve and it also made me feel conncected to my team.

I had also recived adivice from the other team on my serve which surprised me. I was playing a practice doubles match with two girls from another schools team. I was struggling with my serve and so they offered me some advice. She told me that if a stood more to the side it would help with my angles which would make it easier to get the ball in the box that it needed to be in. This advice helped me and it also gave me more confidence that the other team were just girls willing to help me and not out to make fun of my poor serving skills. after this advice and with the new way to toss the ball I have improved my serve even more.

yearbook-Arrival of yearbooks!

The final product is here! After much hard work today I finaly got to see the actual yearbooks that we work so hard on all year. I was able to get the chance to look at all the hardwork I had done and also look at all the others students enjoying something that I had helped create. I enjoyed going through the book and picking out what I had done; the pictures I had added and the layouts I created. I felt that this was the best yearbook I had seen so far at my time at sturgis and that it was colorful and well put together. This was something that the yearbook team had to work hard on to make it so. I also felt my work on it was much improved over last years. I liked the layouts I had created and it was great to see it on the final product. Yearbook is now offically over for this year but I have learned a lot that will help me next year.

yearbook- update

I just talked to Ms. Todoroff about what is happening with yearbook because we were supposed to have a couple more meetings and then never did. She informed me that because there will be a new yearbook leader next year she does not want to hold anymore meetings expect one. This will be a meeting that happenes when the final yearbooks come in and we look through the final product and see what we like and what we would have changed and also celabrate for completing the task. After that meeting yearbook will finally be overwith. I am looking forward to this meeting and seeing the final product I worked so hard on.
