MUN

It's time to start thinking about writing our position papers. This seemed stressful to me in previous years but now it doesn't appear as daunting because of the work I've been doing in the IB. In past months, we've studied parts of 20th century Syrian history, which helps a lot in understand the historical and cultural aspects of the nation we're representing. Mr. Pontes has also given students of his who are doing Syria extra information such as articles from Newsweek and the Economist on Syria, which builds on some of what we've learned about its history.

EFA Crepes Sale

Tomorrow EFA is selling crepes at lunch as a way to fund raise. We came up with the idea after trying to think of a more unique "product" to sell outside of desserts to raise money. Marjorie knows how to make crepes, which we thought would be a good idea for lunchtime. I'm bringing in plates and powdered sugar. Charlotte Olson and I also have to work on an announcement for our 'change for change' jug by the office, where you can put in spare change to donate to building schools.

Volleyball Award

I further believe that my goals were accomplished during this fall's volleyball season because I was awarded the most improved player on the B team at the fall sports banquet. Unfortunately I had a fever and couldn't go to the ceremony but I was still very proud and grateful that my coach recognized the hard work I put in during practices and games.
I think I demonstrated committment to volleyball by rarely missing practices and overall having motivation to do well because it is probably the last time I'll play on a volleyball team. I felt energized at practices and strived to get along with all my team mates. Senior year has provided me with willingness to be part of a Sturgis team for the last time and focus on performing to the best of my abilities.
