The Home Stretch

It’s a couple weeks in to the 4th quarter and it’s getting to that point where the year is almost over. Alyssa Leatherman says, “the hardest part of coming to school anymore is just getting up every morning” (Leatherman). Like many students Alyssa does not want to get up in the mornings because she feels like there is no point. “ I also feel like the classes are easier as the year goes in so I feel like if I miss a day I wont be missing much.”  Alyssa Leatherman is for sure no the only student that feels like this.

Senior Josh Schemp is a perfect example. “School is so easy for me right now because I barley do anything in school anymore because seniors are so close to graduating.” He explains that all he is worried about right now is just showing up to school and pass all his classes. “It is stressful at times because I know it should be so easy, but its just hard to stay motivated enough to finish of the school year.”

Sophomore holly smith says, “I feel like 4th quarter means preparing for EOC and finals week meaning I have to study more so that aspect of it makes it harder.” She explains how a lot of her studying consists of mainly just reviewing but over all finals put a lot of stress on her. “It feels like it should be summer tomorrow so it makes it a little harder knowing I really don’t get out of school for two more months.”  Overall she says how it feels like this year has been going really fast.
