<o:p><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For the month of May our high school has many different
events coming up. We are doing many SOL tests. SOL testing can be very
stressful for students. We have been studying and working very hard, so that we
can pass them. I will be taking only 2 SOL’s for this semester. These start on
May 9<sup>th</sup> and should end in 2 weeks. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Another event we have is our Underclassmen Awards Day.
Awards day is on the 24<sup>th</sup> of this month. This is where all of the
underclassmen will be awarded an award if they earned one. Many students work
hard to achieve these awards and feel very accomplished when they do. Not all
students will receive an award depending on how they performed in the school
year. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The next event is the Senior Awards. This is when all of the
seniors will get their awards, and not at graduation. Senior Awards Day is on
the 23<sup>rd</sup> of May. Awards will
be handed out to the seniors who earned one. Seniors will be participating in
their last Senior Awards Day program. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The biggest event for some of our students this month is
graduation! Graduation is on May 26<sup>th</sup>. All of the seniors will be
handed a diploma. Also, the seniors will be dressed in their capping gown.
Encouragement for all the seniors would be appreciated. So, make sure you come
out and support! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One last event that is school associated is the Sports
Banquet. It is on June 3<sup>rd</sup>.
Any student who participated in a sport in the 2016-2017 school year is
welcome. Awards will be handed out to students who have accomplished an
achievement for any sport. Not every student will receive an award. </span></div>

<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As you’re reaching the end of the semester, the
difficult and stressful weeks filled with horrid tests called finals approach.
Even though your teachers have been preparing you all semester, finals worry
almost everyone because most students seems to forget what they have been
taught. Some go to extremes to try to remember the content they have learned,
and that only hurts them when their finals arrive. Luckily, I have 7 tips for
surviving finals!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here are my 7 tips for making it through finals:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tip #1: Don’t cram the night before! Take your books
and study materials home before finals and study in sessions of 1-2 chapters
every night! Also, study what is most important, because this will make the
lesser stuff seem easier. This will keep you from frying your brain from trying
to memorize a semester’s worth of material in one night.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tip #2: Find time to relax! Taking a few minutes every
day to relax, listen to music, take a nap, or doing whatever you enjoy to relax
can really help your mood and your outlook on school. It gives you the patience
to keep going and ace those finals!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tip #3: Remember that your mental and physical health
is of the most importance. Sometimes you can get so determined and focused on
studying and stressing that your health goes downhill, quickly. Remember to
take breaks and take care of yourself while you study. A 15 minute break won’t
ruin your chances of passing. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tip #4: Don’t forget to sleep! Sleep is very important
to your health and your overall mood. The better rested you are, the better
you’ll do the morning of finals. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tip #5: Plan ahead! Make sure you know the date, time,
and place your final will be held. The last thing you want to do is rush into
the room last minute, rush into the wrong room, or panic because you think you
missed the test. Double check the details of the test beforehand. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tip #6: The morning of your test, eat breakfast! Most
students make a habit of skipping breakfast in the mornings. While you’re in
your testing room, you don’t need a growling stomach breaking your focus. Eat
breakfast and you’ll not only feel better, but be more focused and feel more
prepared for the day ahead. After all, breakfast is the most important meal of
the day!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tip #7: After your final, breathe, let go, and
celebrate! You made it! You survived your finals! Now, you can finally stop
worrying. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The end of every school year is always hectic. You spend a whole semester learning as much
information as possibly imaginable in order for you to be able to pass the
dreaded SOL test. This is the biggest reason
the end of the year is so stressful. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Every teacher wants their students to do well on the test, so they cram
a ton of review and information in our heads within a matter of days. We all know it is true, and we all know how
stressed out everyone becomes. It is all
necessary though, because the state has put so much pressure on each school to
have good test scores. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It isn’t all gloomy though.
There is always an excitement and a feeling of anticipation at the end
of each year. There are a lot of activities
that come about that are kind of a celebration of making it to the end. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Prom is a big one. The anticipation for prom is crazy. All of the juniors, seniors, and lucky
underclassmen that got asked to go, get ready for what is supposed to be a great
night of dancing, eating, and fun. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I think each class has a different view on the end of the
school year.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For the sub freshmen, there
is a feeling of relief and excitement because you have made it through the end
of your first year of high school with only a few minor bumps and bruises.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For the freshmen, you are just happy to
finally get the monkey off your back that you are a “</span><i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">freshman</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">,” and you are ready to finally be one of the “big
kids.”</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The end of sophomore year is
scary, because now you know that the time for playing around is over, and now
you better get ready for the uphill climb of the rest of your high school
career.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The juniors have got to be
thrilled and scared at the same time.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You have made it through probably the hardest year of high school, and
now you are finally seniors!</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Time to get
prepared for the wonderful world of college.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For the seniors I’m sure that it is a bitter sweet ending.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You are finally finished with the jungle of
high school, but now the “best days of your life,” are over.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You will miss the Cove and it will miss you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The end of the school year is crazy, busy, sad, happy,
exciting, stressful, and many other things, but when you finally get to that
precious last day it will all be worth it. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If I was to be asked what the worst part of the school year
was, I would say that it is the time when everyone starts reviewing for SOLs
and when they begin. This part of the school year typically begins right after
spring break and continues to get worse until these state required tests are
over. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">To me, the end of the spring semester is always worse than
the fall semester. You are so close to finishing the year and getting a break,
but they decide to cram all of this knowledge in you for a test when you are
exhausted from just going to school five days a week. Also, it is hard to get a
break during this time. Want to go home and take a nap right after school? You
have to do a review packet for homework. If you play spring sports or want to
spend time with friends and family after school, you will most likely be doing
one of the following: staying up late to do homework, doing it in other classes
at school, or you won’t do it at all. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There are some things that can make all of this easier
though. It can be a stressful time and we all cope with it differently. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First, be positive. Just changing your outlook on things can
make you handle them better. If you say you are going to fail your test and
that is all you can focus on, you are not helping yourself out. If anything, be
realistic. If you actually tried during the semester, you have a good chance of
passing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Second, be comfortable. Some people wear their sweatpants
and don’t try to dress up at the end of the school year, others do the
opposite. You should not be doing one of these because you feel like you have
to, do it because it makes you happy. I personally feel better when I put on
makeup and look like I put some effort in my look, because I feel more awake
and it makes me less likely to fall asleep in class. If you only care about
what others think, you are causing more unnecessary stress at a time you really

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Third, do whatever you need to help you succeed. Need extra
help in a class? Ask your teacher, most of them are willing to help you outside
of class. Need to get some sleep? Get off your phone at night and sleep. You
can only help yourself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">SOLs determine if you pass a class, and they are required to
graduate. If you do not try to help yourself, no one can force you to. It is up
to you to make the time to study and do whatever you can to help yourself
succeed. Do what makes you happy and what enables you to do your best when you
are stressed out. When it really comes down to it, you know yourself better
than anyone else and know how much you need to do to succeed. Some people study
for hours, some people do not study at all. Our minds work differently and if
you made it this far, you know how to find a way to make it all work out in the
end.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Most kids our age today are on many types of social media like Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, Musically, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Social media has changed the way we talk with others. People used to have to write letters and wait forever for a response. Now we can send a text and read it in a matter of seconds and reply.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Social Media has helped us connect with others in different countries, that wasn’t possible a hundred years ago. It has also helped with education. You can look up how to do something and learn how to do it. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It’s made so many things easier like knowing what the weather is, what’s going on in different parts of the world, and what are the trends are. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">While there are good things that come with social media there are also bad things. It has made it easier for people to say mean things to people just because they want to be rude. Sometimes they haven’t even met the person they’re saying it to. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Social media has changed how we do things. It can be a really good thing or a really bad thing. It all depends on how you use it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">An international group has taken the panda off the
endangered list thanks to conservation efforts. The panda is
classified as “vulnerable” instead of “endangered”, reflecting its rising
numbers in southern china. It’s said the population jumped from 1,596 in 2004
to 1,864 in 2014. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">However, although
better forest protection has helped increase panda numbers, climate change is
predicted to eliminate more than 35 percent of its natural bamboo habitat in
the next 80 years, potentially leading to another decline.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Still, animal groups
hailed the recovery of the Giant Panda that has been a symbol of china and the
global conservation movement. The panda population decreased in the 1980's due
to poaching and deforestation until china threw its full weight into preserving
the animal.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The chines government
has worked to save wild pandas. Giant panda populations in the wild have risen
by 17 percent in the decade up to 2014. China now has 67 panda reserves, which
are similar to U.S. national parks.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For over fifty years,
the giant panda has been the globes most beloved conservation icon as well as
the symbol of WWF. Knowing that the panda is now a step further from extinction
is an exciting movement for everyone committed to conserving the world’s
wildlife and their habitats.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Decades of
conservation efforts have included the banning of giant panda poaching their hides
were considered a commodity as well as the creation of the panda reserve
system. The status update is
good news for the animals, but it doesn’t mean that pandas are safe. In the
next 80 years, climate change could destroy more than 35 percent of bamboo
forests, where pandas live on a bamboo-only diet. That would definitely have
consequences for their conservation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The pandas have been
on the endangered list since 1990. But china has been aware of their decline
since the 1960s.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Aerospace Engineering is engineering things that can fly
like planes, rockets, jets, and so much more but that is not all that they do.
They study how fluids flow, about control systems, how strong things are, how
to make things strong, how to design things so they can be reliably built and
maintained. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Aerospace Engineers develop and test air craft, space craft,
and missiles, and supervise their manufacturing. The ones who work with air craft
are called Aeronautical Engineers, and the ones that work specifically with
space craft are called Astronautical Engineers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Aerospace Engineers develop new technology for use in
innovation, defense systems, and space exploration, often specializing in areas
such as structures, propulsion systems, vehicle movement and control,
communications, and overall vehicle design.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They also specialize in a particular type of Aerospace
product, such as commercial air craft, military fighter jets, helicopters,
space craft, or missiles, and rockets. You may become experts in Aerodynamic,
Thermodynamics, Celestial mechanics, propulsion, acoustics, or guidance and
control systems.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You have to have technical knowledge, management skills, and
more. But you need a bachelor’s degree which is the minimum degree for this
job. Good curriculum to study in school are chemistry, physics, computer science,
algebra, geometry, calculus, English, applied technology, and statistics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Government economists expect jobs for Aerospace Engineers to
grow slower than the average for all occupations through 2020. All of the work
in this field is related to national defense or the design of nonmilitary air
craft. These workers will be needed to design safer and more efficient aircraft
and to rebuild existing aircraft to be quitter and more fuel efficient. But
many of these engineers are deployed in industries that will likely decline.
You’ll have an edge if you can use software and online tools to work with
others on projects, create models, and analyze data. </span><br />
