A Decision to Make

This year I had to make a decision of whether or not I was going to join the Speech and Debate team. This decision involved a few steps. First I asked the question of how much stress was this going to add to my life? How much stress would it add to my family's life and was I ready to deal with that extra stress?  This is my senior year and with being president of Thespians and aiming to be Stage Manager, was I ready to add another thing to my plate? Next I did some background research about all the work involved. Would I be dedicated to completing the work on time and doing my best in every aspect of the team?  I had to think about all the competitions involved. Would I be able to go to all of the tournaments? Finally after I analyzed the data, I drew my conclusion that to start the Speech and Debate team in my Senior Year would not be a wise choice. I would not be able to do these things to the best of my ability. I communicated my results to Mrs. Freeman that I would not be joining the Speech and Debate Team.

About Moi!

Good Afternoon! My name is Elizabeth but I prefer to be called Liz. I am involved in Theater. I am currently the President of our Thespian Troupe. I am very excited about this year as far as Thespians go. I am glad this is my senior year but I am also nervous about colleges. I plan on going to a Bible Institute after this year and had planned on going to Marshall but now I am looking at NKU or UK. I thought I was sure of my future but I guess nothing is ever set in stone.

This summer was one of the best summers of my life. I worked at a Christian camp as a counselor. Although I have done this before many things happened for the first time. To start it all off I taught a young girl adopted from Ethiopia how to read. That was very difficult. I tried to teach her that to say "Her is messy," is not correct but I think she may have been set in her ways. Next I shot a shot gun for the first time. Not at camp if thats what you're thinking. It was over the weekend. I also used a glock. WOW was that hard! Then I rode on a "crotch rocket" and in a Jeep for the first time. We raced in the Jeep against a friend on a four wheeler. The four wheeler won...

While at camp we had a skit night. My friend Jason and I performed a silly skit called "The Twins" he and I were twin brother and sister who could feel each other's pain. It was all improv and went quite well. My brother and I were in a skit called "Hot Koolaid" a tribute to Julian Smith a phenomenal comedian on Youtube. that went really well we changed a few things because we just do it from memory. We don't just do silly skits; we also perform serious skits with spiritual meaning. I believe the Lord worked in the lives of the young people who attended through skits, memory verses, morning and night time devotions and also chapel services. I am glad I was able to work at Camp Evangel this summer and look forward to another year!
