Conclave, Nicole's dilemma and Act Six Essays

During Junior Conclave we listened to everyone's highs and lows. The students seem to be doing pretty well right now, still behind in a few classes like Chemistry. Always trying to do make up work.

After that we did a protocol where we helped Nicole with her dilemma as to whether or not she should play Fastpitch in the spring. We asked her some clarifying questions like "how much time does it take?"

We then asked probing questions like, "why do you have this dilemma; what are you worried about?" and "how would you feel if you didn't play fastpitch?"

Then Nicole had to just listen and be quiet while the rest of us discussed her dilemma. She said it was somewhat helpful and she thinks she will wait to see what her grades are like first semester and make her decision based on that.

The Seniors continued to work on their Act Six essays. Each of them wrote a beautiful response to the question "Describe a concrete way your ethnic or cultural heritage has impacted your life." Honestly, they are fascinating essays. Nice job, seniors!

Yvonne and I are working feverishly to make sure her Act Six application is completed by Friday.
