Her mind was running wild. Her thoughts were jumbled. Her breathing became short but steady. The idea of venturing to 'America' was thrilling, especially making the trip by herself. She had dreamed of this moment, itching for the experience to do something different, and it had finally arrived. Prepped for the ten-hour flight from Frankfurt, Germany to Detroit, Michigan, she boarded the plane, ready to face the next three months. The memories of hugging and kissing her friends and family goodbye were heartbreaking, yet at the same time comforting because she knew they were praying for her safety back home.

Student Life A Third-World Calling

By Josh Pennings Christians are called to evangelize to all people as commanded by God in Mark 16:15, “He said to them, go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” One of the ways that we are able to preach the gospel is through service trips. Many churches and schools like our own organize youth trips to underdeveloped countries abroad and places around America. About a month ago, I was given the opportunity to participate in a service trip in border guard and myself were told that our jobsite would be Guatemala. I quickly signed up “First time in Guatemala?” and seven hours away. Initially, I and was accepted. As the date of “Yes” as my reply.

Student Life Five Years of NOIZ

By Thomas Tuinstra Five years ago, the school’s board sparked the idea of starting a student paper. In 2011, the school added Introduction to Journalism to its curriculum. Ever since its inception, Mrs. Edouard has taught this course. Journalism is not merely restricted to writing and reporting. In fact, its scope is much larger―students learn about basic photography and follow current news topics. From time to time, they show their writing skills in the NOIZ. The first issue, published in November 2011, consisted of articles on student life, a mystery person, Dr. Tjapkes, New Year’s Resolutions, and much more; it even included a Little Caesar’s coupon. Scholarship for $1,000 per total of $8,000. The Journalism course may semester based on her writing Past and current journalism also be profitable in one’s quest skills.

Julian felt particularly inclined to enter the bees because he was not satisfied with the results of previous years. This year marked his fourth year of entry in the contests, and he sought to win at least one. His motivation during the Geography and the Spelling Bee was the thought of winning.
