Sophomore year: Outlook

Today was the first day of my Sophomore year in High School at Cave Spring.

I have a pretty good schedule: I start the day off with Criminal Justice over at Burton, and I have that class with two pretty good friends of mine, Christina Elliott, and Amanda Simmons. I have to be at the school at 7 AM, which is the only thing I am not looking forward to at all. It's okay though, I tend to wake up pretty easily.

My next class is World History part 2, with Mrs. Lovelace. She is a pretty awesome teacher, and I have been told by a few guys that I will LOVE this year with her. In any case, I have a few okay friends in there, but there is only one person who I consider a good friend.

I have Earth Science right after that, which is one of the two Freshman classes I'm taking this year, and I can say, that Mrs. Barnett is kind of funny. She made a little "comet" in class, with a bunch of random things.

Then I have Biology, with Mrs. Ray, and Mr. Price. Mr. Price seems to be doing all of the talking, and Mrs. Ray seems to be a really big pushover. Either that, or she is just very very softspoken.

My lunch this year is 2nd lunch, and I have it with some of the greatest guys, like Zack, Charles, Jacob Sortore, Kasey, and so many more people. I have a feeling, that this lunch year is going to be a good one.

After lunch, I go to Drivers Ed/Health with Mr. Swartz. Seeing as I had Drivers Ed last year, I have been informed that I basically have a study hall if I want, for the first 9 weeks. I hope to be getting my learners soon, though I was supposed to get it a month ago.

After Health/Drivers Ed, I get to run to the upper annex for Algebra 1 with Mrs. Miniclier. I had her last year, and I think that it's a pretty cool class. This is the other Freshman class I have, and I really like it. I have a few friends in the class like Caitlyn, Austin, Hunter, Lisa, Lucas, and a few others. I think it's gonna be a good year in there

Last but not least, I have English 10, with Mrs. Chapman. She is a really cool teacher, and she has to be the only teacher I have ever seen who has a couch in their room. I don't think any other teacher anyone could have does that. She says she's gonna be an easy class, but we'll see what the year has in store.

That's my schedule, and I really do think that something great is going to happen this year for our school, community, and for Christ. I hope that whenever it does happen, that everyone know that it will be because the Lord wanted it that way, and He won't change his mind for anyone.

I can't wait for Younglife Club to start back up. It's going to be so exciting, because there are so many opportunities that are opening up, and I really am excited to be a part of this great ministry. I want to get a few guys and girls from the Freshman class to go, so they hear the Good News, and have the chance to get to know the Lord.

Our JV and Varsity Football teams are looking really good this year. Varsity did well in both of their Scrimmages, and JV has done well in one. We have our first games this Thursday and Friday, and I can't wait for it.
Football Game Schedule(Varsity and JV) Varisty's game place is in all caps
Staunton River:HOME away
Graham:HOME open
Northside:AWAY home
Patrick Henry:HOME(Homecoming game) away
Allegheny(sp?):AWAY home
open
Salem:HOME away
Pulaski:AWAY home
Blacksburg:HOME away
Christiansburg:AWAY home
Hidden Valley:AWAY home
I might be updating this part to be sure about JV game places, but I think this is how it looks.

I can't wait for Wrestling season, soon after a State Championship football run. It's gonna be great, because we have a new coach, and he is a great guy, Can't wait to work with him in the room

I think this year is going to be amazing. I have never had this much enthusiasm going into a school year, but last year changed my life, and I know it's all for the better. I will be writing a review of Sophomore year close to the end of the year, and I might write about random evens that happen in between now and then, so stay in touch.
With love and peace,
