“The motto I live by is if you don't succeed, try, try again,” junior Ariel Joyal said. “With sports specifically, you're not always going to have a good game or a good meet. It helps me stay positive and work harder to win a race and achieve my goals.”

Kayla Sharman

Junior Kayla Sharman talks about her desire to help others. (Cheyenne Henderson)

“I want to be an athletic trainer because I love playing sports, and it's hard for me to imagine that time when I'm not surrounded by them. By having an athletic trainer, I'm surrounded by them all the time, and it's a way for me to help people.”

“Both Carter and Whiteside have had an impact on me. Whenever I've gotten a cart and had to go see them for an injury, they're always kind and they genuinely want to help. It's really cool, and I'm with them all the time now because I’m interning with them.”

Hannah Williams

Cosmetology student Hannah Williams talk about her experience doing clients hair. (Cheyenne Henderson)

“In cosmetology, we usually practice on our mannequins or work on our competency sheets. We have to accomplish a certain number of tasks during the year to get our license. I do potentially see myself doing it after high school, but I think I mostly want to do it in college, as a side job."

"My favorite thing is just making people feel pretty when I do their hair, and making them feel better about themselves. I get my inspiration from other people and social media. When I'm doing other people's hair, I get inspiration for myself or ideas for other people's hair.”

Grayson Goodwin

"Surfing, I like surfing. I like to be in the water, and I feel like it connects me to the earth." Something important to remember is that if you get caught in a rip current, just let it take you, because if you try and fight it's just going to take you out." "Yeah you can definitely apply this to life. Like, if you're in a rough patch just let life take you wherever it's going to take you and then once you gain your ground, start taking steps again."

David Blanchard

Assistant Principal David Blanchard, talks about the life-changing experience he had when he took the job at Louisa County High School. (Brooke Pennella)

“I was trying to get a teaching job in Pennsylvania, because that's where I lived, and that's where my college was. I applied for several jobs, but I only had a couple of interviews, and nothing was working out.

“I was working at Lowe's in the summer, and it got into July. It was looking like I was going to be working at Lowe's for the rest of that year. I talked to the education department at my college, and they asked me if I would be interested in looking at jobs in other states. They said we have a position at Louisa County High School. I drove down here, interviewed with the principal, and they offered me the job.

“That was certainly a life-changing experience. I had no idea that this was going to be a really special place with great people, and I would want to stay here as long as I have and probably will be here even longer.”

Megan Bryant

Megan Bryant discusses the qualities of her favorite movie. (Brooke Pennella)

“My favorite movie is probably ‘Forrest Gump.’ I like to see how he’s involved in all of the historical events, but he doesn’t realize he’s involved. The characters are all really funny, and I think it's interesting how he evolves throughout the movie, but still stays very much the same.”
