The Spirit of Academic Bowl
One of the things I admire very much about this program is the fact that we are challenged to be more than just good students. After going to Academic bowl, once again I was reminded of how“ Math and Science nerds” are tearing down stereotypes by competing in sports. We are challenged to be well rounded and competitive in many areas. I love going to events like this where I can see that there are motivated students similar to me. Academic Bowl was a great experience even though Local Soccer just missed being champions. Go Llamas!!!- Jazmin Escamilla

This year, I was put in soccer for the competitions. I’ ve always liked the game but I never knew how to play, so it’ s fun to finally learn it. During practices, we always warm up by running two laps around the field. The first practice, I couldn’ t even finish them. But now, I’ m getting used to it and have less trouble. The workouts are intense, as much as the game. After working out, I was so sore I couldn’ t go up the stairs. My legs hurt so much! I can see myself improving and getting better. I have learned a lot thanks to the coaches. It’ s a fun sport, even with the shoving and falling. I have enjoyed the practices. I will be a starter for the game, playing defense. I really hope we win and even if we don’ t, I’ ve had a great time.- Diana Ramirez
