The Life of an 8th Grader

D ay after d ay, e i g h th graders walk throu gh th e s E Goodrich halls, w he th er they a re goi ng t o art or math class. They spe nd their las t middle school year with P . t heir close fri end s and class mate s. So what do the y do all that time ? They fool arou nd , try to s tay focu sed in cla ss , trying to avoid dram a, m aki n g th e bes t of th ejr l as t middle sc hool moments here as go od as po ss ible . The st udent s might say th ey wo n ' t mi ss Goodri c h, but d ee p down we know th ey tru ly wi l l. Even though we thought we grew so mu ch , thi s is only th e st art of a new beginn in g .

Step number one ? Spirit. Step number two? Teamwork. Step number three? Practice. You need to be prepared for fa ilure AND victory. The 7th grade volleyball teams this year had many up and downs. Even thou gh they were new at play i ng volleyball at Goodrich, they played vo lleyball li ke they 've been doing it for a lon r time. Many of them liked the coaches. Some said that they learned many new skills from them and will co ntinue to practice. C team volleyball player, Betsy Oslen rated her team a 9 on the scale of 1 - 10. ( 10 i s the best.) She rated them a 9, "because we didn't win so me games." Thi s year's 7th grade vo lleyball teams were great Good job!

On a scale of 1-10 ( 10 being the highes t of course) she gave her team a 9 1/2. Wi 1 Chamberlin , a fellow player said hi s favorite part was, "The fact tha it takes teamwork and when we ' re all doing well , we're happy. " He gives hi s team an 8 on the 1-10 scale when he was asked to rank hi s team. They won 1 game, loss 1, tied 1, and the la st game wa s cancelled. Mr. Saunders said that he enjoys coaching the team and gave them a 9 on the 1-10 scale, "A lot of heart , a lot of effort." Thi ; year's 8th graders taught the 7th graders many thing about flag football. From throwing to pass ing to kicking. Next year, the eightl graders will not be here , but some 7th graders are surely to lead the next year's team s to victory. Here 's to keeping the Goodrich tradition!
