A Freshman Year to Remember

Amanda Spaeth walked through the doors of John Carroll feeling nervous and exited.  She knew it would it would be a year to remember.  At first John Carroll seemed liked a big maze, there was only one way in and out.  Many of Amanda's new teachers seemed intimidating by presenting her and her fellow classmates with new challenges.  Amanda felt compelled to excel in every class by giving it her all.  Over the course of the year, Amanda made new friends, read some Shakespeare, and met many new friends.  Her eyes were opened to the world during human geography and western civilization.  Amanda learned also learned the basics of the German language and continues to learn it until she graduates.  Memories were made in the joyful atmosphere of English class.  Science and math may not have been her strongest areas in school, but Amanda tried the best she could.  Religion class made Amanda think about how wonderful God is and all gifts he has given to the world.  Not only did she learn a lot, but Amanda played multiple sports this year.  Amanda ran cross country in the fall and ended up making varsity as a freshman.  She swam laps in the pool in the winter and made strides across the track this spring.  Amanda met a lot of people who have changed her life for the better.  Her teachers will always have a special place in her heart despite the insane projects she was assigned.  It was a year of fun, amazing freshman year full of achievements.  Amanda plans to continue her legacy at John Carroll… if she lives to pass final exams!
