Fall Student-Athletes of the Month

Live Oak recently honored two Student-Athletes of the Month to recognize their hard work and leadership skills in the classroom and in athletics. Seventh grader Coleman P. and eighth grader Kyelle G. were recognized this Fall. 
Our first recipient, seventh grader Coleman P., participates on the Live Oak cross country team this year. Coleman was interviewed and asked about his thoughts on academics and athletics. Here were his responses:

问:你从体育或学术方面学到了什么东西,并能够应用到其他领域?

A: Something I learned from athletics that I apply to academics is to be open to new concepts. As a soccer player, my team is constantly adapting our strategies to be able to work better together. I have to be open and flexible, and this can apply to writing, reading, or math. 

问:你最喜欢的科目是什么?

A: My favorite school subject will change from time to time, but currently, the subject I enjoy most is science. We are learning a lot about the earth and I enjoy that.

问:你有一个学术或体育方面的榜样吗?如果有,是谁,为什么?

A: My athletic role model would probably be Lionel Messi, because of all the challenges that he faced being a shorter than average player. 

Our second recipient, eighth grader Kyelle G., participates on the Live Oak volleyball team this year. Kyelle was also interviewed on some of these same topics and here were her responses:

问:学术和体育之间有什么相似之处?

A: I think that something that is similar between academics and athletics is that they both take skill, but you can also practice both of them and get better.

问:你是否发现自己在体育和学术方面同样努力工作?如果不是,你在哪一个方面更努力?

A: I think I work equally in both academics and athletics, but I obviously have more fun in athletics.

问:你最喜欢的运动是什么?

A: My favorite sport to play is probably soccer, because I’ve been playing soccer since kindergarten, but I also do enjoy volleyball a lot.
