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:
P: ¿Qué es lo que ha aprendido de los deportes o de los estudios y ha podido aplicar al otro campo?
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.
P: ¿Cuál es su asignatura favorita?
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.
P: ¿Tienes un modelo académico o deportivo a seguir? Si es así, ¿quién es y por qué?
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:
P: ¿En qué se parecen los estudios y el deporte?
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.
P: ¿Te encuentras trabajando con la misma intensidad en lo deportivo y en lo académico? Si no es así, ¿en cuál de las dos se esfuerza más?
A: I think I work equally in both academics and athletics, but I obviously have more fun in athletics.
P: ¿Cuál es su deporte favorito?
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.
