developing various hobbies and so on can all be regarded as success. People need to focus on grades, not grades themselves, but the reflection behind them. The hardest, but most important thing that allows freshmen to adapt and contribute to school is time management. It is an important life skill, so trying to practice good time management can be helpful. If you are worried about managing time, just relax and try your best. Anxiety can only make things worse. What I hope this research has provided, above all, is optimism. Not the unspecific optimism for an unspecified future. Rather, I hope it’s shown a more practical kind of positive outlook. You don’t need to suffer through immediate challenges while only thinking about the possibility of good things to come. You can find solutions to your issues in the present. You can make your life better. You just need to know what to do.

SOME TIPS FOR YOU

Stay true to your values and beliefs. Remember people's names! Take concise, clear notes. Be organized and stay organized. Avoiding comparing yourself to others. Actively participate in class. Sleep early, get up early; make sure that you have enough time in the morning to get ready for the day.

STUDENTS' HANDS SERVE THE KINGDOM OVERSEAS

by Amber Newell and Kylah Alexander

This year there are two projects that were chosen for the OHFHS (Our Hands For His Service) mission. They are the Thai Village Expansion Project and the Central Africa Medicine Mission (CAMM). OHFHS’s first mission is the Thai Village that provides support and protection for impoverished families along with educational services and employment—all while teaching them about Jesus. The money raised will specifically help to expand the village by creating a facility that could be used as a church, a school, a community center, and a training center. Along with the Thai Village Project, the Central Africa Medicine Mission will raise funds to support a 24-hour medical clinic in Zambia. The money will be used to repair their main nurse’s home and remodel the current women’s shelter. Fortunately, they have already received an amount of funds from other programs which means that they only need about $10,000 more to reach their goals. This enables WLHS to carry out a dual mission this year, providing service for two causes.

Why participate in this year-long fundraiser? By participating in the various student led activities, students have a chance to supply those seeking assistance in Thailand and Zambia with proper support. Not only will they create a better environment for those who are wishing to help the misfortunate in their communities, but these projects allow room for both physical and spiritual aid. This is only possible if organizations such as WLHS are willing to contribute to these projects. So, students, don’t be hesitant in engaging in activities such as A la Carte. Though individual donations may seem too small to achieve anything, they will go much further since contributions will impact the hearts and souls of people by bringing them closer to Jesus.

Freshman Annalise Kuehn agrees. “Hot apple cider is the best fall drink for when it’s chilly out, especially sitting by a fire. ” Apple cider is definitely a fall favorite!

Now, the clear first place winner, with 39.7% of the votes was hot chocolate! For chocolate lovers, hot chocolate might be an obvious choice. Freshman Samantha Lee said, “It’s kind of chilly in the fall and it’s nice to drink something hot. ” Little sounds better on a chilly day than a nice warm cup of hot chocolate. Thanks to everyone who participated in the poll!

WHAT IS THE PILOT?

by Anastasia Landowski

The Pilot is Wisco’s student-run newspaper, updating you with all the current information regarding things such as school events, sports, and other outside areas of interest as well. In addition to its writers, Pilot has many talented artists and photographers who provide the illustrations and event photos you see in every issue. With volumes dating as far back as the 1960s, Pilot has a vast history of student journalism and creativity. Even in the oldest issues, that same spark of creativity was clearly shown back then. Some of these earlier copies included interesting topics like the 1968 election and bits of fiction, all put together by the students at that time. If you want to be part of this history in the making, contact pilot@wlhs.org.
