“Recently, I’ve been practicing my violin more, and I enjoy playing with my orchestra. I’ve been playing since I was two years old. I enjoyed playing when I was in sixth grade because it was one of the first times that I had the opportunity to play in an orchestra with other instruments. Now, I do solo and ensemble work and plan to audition for the All-State and All-Suburban orchestras.” – Amelia Henderson, 10

"My greatest accomplishment right now is probably making the JV tennis team. [I’ve played tennis for] three years. [Tennis is] very important [to me]. It’s probably my favorite thing to do. I played tennis for about six weeks this summer, and that definitely helped [me to improve]. It was pretty hard to learn how to do the correct serve and everything, but I got there. Yes, [I’m proud of myself for getting on the team]. I was happy, and it’s rare for freshmen to get on varsity. I was glad that there were no cuts because everyone was good enough to make the team. They needed the people. And so I am happy to be part of that community." - Molly Alina Arnold, 9

"My happiest moments are when I feel proud of myself. Whenever my dad’s proud of me, I always feel good about myself. Also, when my grandparents are proud of me, I feel good. Earlier this summer, I was with two of my friends from Priory. We went on one of their boats for the day; it was the highlight of my summer. We were snagging, and after about a minute and 30 seconds, I got something—it was a big old paddlefish. They both told me it was the biggest paddlefish they had seen. It made me feel cool. I showed my grandpa my catches the next day, and he said it was totally sick. That made me feel cool. Last practice, I was in a race with my senior friend that takes me to practices and strength training. The coach blew the whistle, and I skated real fast and matched his speed. He told me that if I stay low when I’m about to get hit, I can hit back. So, I did, and I got him, took the puck and shot top. I really got him then. Then they cheered, and I felt really cool." - William England, 9

"I am most proud of my commitment to the field hockey team. It makes me proud because I put a lot of time and effort into it, and I'm seeing results. When I scored my first varsity goal, I felt so happy. They put me on JV because of my age. It's okay though because I know I feel supported where I’m at. I have support from all of my friends, teammates and my friends' parents, but mostly my best friend's mom, Kelli McGill. When I feel accomplished with something at field hockey, I tell them. When I feel let down at field hockey, I tell them, and I know I will always have someone in my corner to back me up and understand me." - Annabelle Olsen, 9

"I have yet to truly know myself. Are you more than the shape that people perceive you as? You’ve got to be all alone in your head, so that’s something. I see the world as I am, and you see the world as you are. I think it’s really weird. It took me too long to understand that everyone’s in this life together. But I’ll die in debt trying to repay the world for allowing me to be here." - Vera Ewing, 10

"Something that I live by is to be honest. I've always stuck to that since I was eight or 10, and my parents really instilled [this in] me. [If I] did something wrong or broke something, for example, when I was younger, I used to like [to] put it on my sister." - Vincent Altamuro, 9

"Everybody is so nice [in the U.S.]. I feel like in Poland, everybody is so tired of living a life that is not good. It's so much sad[ness], so much homework. We don't have [computers]; we have just [have notebooks]. It's so much easier here. I have new friends. I have a new life." - Gabi Zielinska, 10
