Mrs. Jessica Selkuski, Principal, Nelson County High School, 1070 Bloomfield Road, Bardstown, Ky 40004. Dear Ms. Sekulski Subject: Nelson County High School Core Values. My name is Jeneva Smith and I am an incoming freshman at Nelson County. I have been in Band for the past three years and Drama for the past year, I have learned what it means to work with others and how to be accountable. I have written this letter to explain how the core values of being a Flight Leader will further help shape my future. One of the values of Taking Flight is to focus on the individual. To me, Focusing on the Individual involves directing one's mental and physical energy towards the achievement of a specific outcome, and avoiding distractions or irrelevant disruptions. A way that I am exercising this core value is by doing theater. A quote from an article (Participation in High School Athletics Has …show more content…

The second core value that will contribute to my success is Lead with a Purpose. To lead with a purpose is to make decisions that are in line with your values and beliefs. It also means creating a culture of excellence where your team feels supported and motivated to achieve their best. A purpose-driven leader empowers their team. The text, titled Extracurricular Participation and Student Engagement, states that “Almost every high school in the U.S. offers some type of extracurricular activity, such as music, academic clubs, and sports. These activities offer opportunities for students to learn the values of teamwork, individual and group responsibility.” This is showing that if I participate in extracurriculars then I will learn the values of teamwork. Teamwork is a major part of being a leader, currently at OKH we have the LEAD values, the A in LEAD stands for Affirming yourself in others. I have learned how to be a LEAD Learner. With that being said, to Lead with

I agree with the author on some parts of her argument of how high schools should spend more attention on their academic progress rather just focusing on how good their sports are. If students aren’t in a sport colleges look at there academic achievements from high school and if they see that they aren’t doing that great what makes you think they are gonna accept them. So school should spend more of their funding towards getting a better ranking in their achievements so more kids can go to their school rather then spending so much money each year for sports that they offer. This whole article can change some views on sports in high school in the united states some might say that Americans care more about school sports than they do for their education and we have to change those peoples view on us by removing sports. That may sound crazy but those students and parents that don’t agree with the argument but there are many other ways that one can do ports like outside of school there are many

Horace Mitchell, the author of Students Are Not Professional Athletes in the US News, believes that “Students are not professional athletes who are paid salaries and incentives for a career in sports (Mitchell). Mitchell believes in the idea that these students are given enough benefits by having access to prestigious universities through their participation in sports (Mitchell). Despite the fact that the author is making uncomplicated statements, he is able to back up every statement by providing examples of his comments. For example, he stated that these students chose to participate in collegiate sports as a part of their educational experience, and then he backs up the statement by explaining how they maintain a distinction between student-athletes who participate in the college model and professionals who are also students. Likewise, Mitchell noted that their may be a way to solve the issue for student athletes not having to participate in a part-time job; “It is reasonable that student-athletes should have additional resources typical for full-time students work during the academic year…”

In this community lately, there has been discussion lately on sports possibly being removed from the high schools. Although, they get the most recognition that does not mean that just because one little thing it gets removed and completely forgotten about. In fact, so many people do high school sports in the text “Are High School Sports Good For Kids” it explicitly states “Here in Michigan almost 300,000 young people take part in high school sports every year.” This scene particularly shows that many youth athletes participate in high school sports in only one state alone.

“They are students receiving access to a college education through their participation in sports… Collegiate sports is not a career or profession. It is the student’s vehicle to a higher education” (Mitchell 1). There would be a greater emphasis on the sports instead of the education. Playing sports in college is not a career; it is a hobby that enables student athletes to get an education for free.

Question - What are some significant themes in your novel and how do these themes help us understand the world? Published in 1954, William Golding’s “Lord of the Flies” (“LOF”) makes use of different themes in his novel such as primitive instincts, loss of innocence and fear. These themes help us understand modern society better. The novel delves deeper into how society would turn out without social etiquette or unspoken rules. For example, how society would break into chaos if people were to fall into their primitive instincts, and how fear could drive society to slowly descend into savagery and lose their innocence.

Because I am in community theatre, I represent not only my community, but the company I am in as well. TACT has taught me how to express myself to a large group of people, to be dedicated, and to work hard to obtain a positive outcome. I have been performing through TACT since 2009. Ever since I began theatre, I started singing lessons. I am one of the older performers, so I must be a favorable epitome for the children who look up to the older actors.

Also, he shows that it is okay to admit student athletes because they learn to be discipline, respect, and leadership based on being on a team environment. He does have a fallacy of a False Analogy because he states that the author of the first essay knows nothing about football because he attendee home games and the author of the second essay would play and he was in this environment while in school. He thinks because student athletes put a lot of their time in to school and football that they should be getting a stipend with their scholarship because they put more hours into college work with all of their training and practicing and with their studies. He also, does not contradict
