Rising Greenwood sophomore Shyanne DeBoard details her experience becoming a volleyball manager and the impact it has had on her
by Victoria Quan, Carmel High School
In her freshman year, rising Greenwood sophomore Shyanne DeBoard was interested in volleyball. To her, it seemed like a repetitive sport with no crazy rules; but there was still enough variety through the different positions offered to make it interesting.
According to DeBoard, volleyball players have roles as hitters (who jump and send the ball over the net), passers (who pass the ball to teammates), and liberos (who dive for the ball). She was specifically interested in being a passer or libero. However, although she was interested in positions in the sport, she took on a different position: being a manager.
This originally happened because DeBoard did not make the team as a player, but the coach invited …

Private School vs. Public School
by: Shyanne DeBoard, Greenwood Community High School
When starting a new school, it’s easy to fall behind and have a hard time catching up. However, this wasn’t the case for Diana Smith. At her previous private school, Harmony, Diana did not feel challenged.
She had ups and downs to her old school, such as her least favorite class, science, which was a boring subject for her, and included a bad teacher. A positive from Harmony was an amazing teacher that she had for all of her time there, and they became very close.
Another thing that she enjoyed at her previous school was that people were super friendly. Everyone knew everyone, so there was no reason to gossip. Things change when you go to a public school. She enjoyed her current school, Bloomington, much more. She felt challenged and like she is really …

Being strongly family-oriented, Guipe learned of her passion for crime because of her mom when they began watching crime shows together, she couldn’t …
