My name is Iris Pene and it would be an honour for me to be your head student for 2015. For me, being a head student isn’t a title I would take lightly but a chance for me to be motivated into working with you to change our school for the better.
Being in sports has helped me to become a good team player and balance my time and work effectively. Working in a team is an important quality a head student needs because like mother Teresa had said “you can do things I cannot, I can do things you cannot but together we can do great things”. This is why next year, if I become head student, I will introduce a service mentor program to ensure an easy transition for the year 6 students into highschool with the help of voluntary high school students which could contribute to their service hours and for the of the year 11 students into the challenging IB Diploma course with the mentoring and assistance of the current year 12 students for CAS hours. I’m a very approachable person and as most students and teachers may aleady know, I’m not shy to voice my opinions. So if you make me your head student, I can promise you your inquiries and opinions will not go unheard and I will try to the best of my ability to make all of your realistic and positive changes happen.
Being a head student isn’t only about how organized and well spoken you can be, it’s also about how well you can lead people in the right direction. Over the years in ISN I have participated in many activities which has helped me to build my leadership qualities which include being the student representative for my year level for the years 2012, 2013 and current year 2014, being the yellow house captain (and so far so far, yellow house is in the lead with the house points!), being the school swimming captain and also after school where I have a part time job coaching a few of you for swimming with the Nadi Mako swim club.
In addition to the qualities a head student should obtain, I believe creativity should be one of them. Apart from studying hard and striving for your best academically, High school is a once in a life time opportunity and i believe that while we work hard as students, we should also be able to have fun and make good memories at the same time (and in translation to the words of famous wiz khlifa “that’s the motto guys yolo haha) so in saying this, if you choose to make me your head student, I will try to organize more socials, movie nights and any other activities of your choice for next year.
Thank you guys for listening, my motto for head student of 2015 is adapted from the wise words of Ghandi; “I wish to be the change you see in ISN”. Thank you

Virginia State University’s Athletic Director, Mrs. Peggy Davis, came to visit and speak in our Organization and Administration of Athletics course on Monday, October 19, 2015. She was very inspiring and motivational in her talk with us. She touched down on a few key points as to how she got to her position in athletics as well how to stay there.

When she mentioned this, the 1-Minute Manager was brought to my mind because the young man in the book was looking for a successful coach to model after.

Often times you see athletes performing dominating blocks, making big hits, or making acrobatic catches. However, athletes have much more to offer off their respective playing surfaces that goes unseen. Here at Henderson State University athletes are supposed to epitomize what a college student in Arkadelphia should be. We’re depended upon to be campus leaders to our peers and set examples verbally as well as through our actions. Sometimes we’re seen as intimidating individuals do to our outer appearance but we’re empathetic to others just as others. Our athletic program is set on allowing our athletes to give back to our community and school through participation in various events that occur throughout the calendar year. By providing opportunities for student-athletes to serve, these young men and women make meaningful contributions to society. Teams as well as individual student-athletes are involved in numerous charity and community organizations, schools and hospitals. Some student-athletes have also created, initiated and implemented service projects/activities. One specific event, Reddie to Serve, allows us just this amble opportunity to show our gratitude and appreciation back to the citizens of…

An athletic administrator there are many student-athlete issues that will arise that athletic directors will need to be prepared for. The first issues I think that an athletic director would need to prepare to face are issues regarding the code of conduct. In conjunction with the school’s code of conduct, the athletics department code of conduct should be familiarized by all student-athletes and parents. All student-athletes should be accountable for his/her actions and should be enforced by the school principal and the athletic director. An athletics orientation will be held before the start of each academic school year stressing the importance of the school and athletics code of conduct. Athletic orientation should include the student-athlete and parents that will cover expectations, rules, regulations, and eligibility requirements, which lead me to my next issue that athletic directors may face.…

We spoke about the new turf field, how to be a good effective leader, and about our soccer seasons thus far. After the interview Mr. Buckley drove us back to the school, and he was speaking to us about the great opportunities we have at Peabody Veterans Memorial High School. Although I hear those words often I never really listen. Mr. Buckely said, “Ben and Katrina you guys are great leaders and great soccer players, but remember you will not always be playing soccer. After college soccer will probably end for you. So take advantage of your education. You are a student before you are an athlete.” He went on to tell us his experiences, and how him dedicating himself to his schoolwork put him in the successful position he is in today.…

I’ve persevered through many stages of my athletic career including being told by coaches at the age of 14, you will never be good enough to play varsity. I spent the next two years working passionately to be stronger, faster, smarter, and varsity quality. My hard work proved to be successful in baseball and the classroom. I was 2015 First Team All Orange County Player, All Sunset League Player two years, and CIF Champion. That hard work and dedication lead to multiple Division I offers.

Athletic directors (AD’s), who work countless number of hours daily, challenge this forward thinking or idea. Most taking on numerous roles day in and day out, only to find themselves with task incomplete of request unfulfilled. The role of the athletic director, specifically at the high school level, has changed due to an increased workload, leading to burnout, while on the colligate level, the changes in rules and regulations has seen the job transform drastically.

As a coach I want to be the leader of a successful program who helps student athletes excel on and off of the field. I will do this by first hiring good assistant coaches around me who can help me bring my vision to reality. It will require dedication from the student athletes in the classroom and in practice and games to be the absolute best they can be in any situation. It will be up to me to instill in my athletes hard work and dedication in everything they do. So I will first need them to respect and maybe even fear me a little bit, but I still need to maintain a close enough relationship with them to where they can consider me a friend and be able to turn to me in any time of need. I will first stress the importance of hard work through drills and conditioning, but at the same time not make it feel like work for them; make them understand there is a reason for all of the things that we do on a daily basis. Once the team understands what it takes to play for me; maybe even some quit because they think it will be too hard, that's what I want; I don't want the weak ones who will give up on themselves and their teammates, only the strong will survive. Then you can evaluate each individual in every facade of the game and start to teach them in the areas that they are weak and strengthen their strengths. I want my team to be able to runs themselves without one coach needed at a practice or a game. Of course coaches will be there but by halfway through a season I want my team to run like a well-oiled machine not needing any coaches to tell them to do any specific thing. I will instill in my team self confidence that they can do anything, beat anyone, and achieve any goal that they set their minds on on any given day. I will teach about winning and losing, how to win and stay humble and how to lose and not have your confidence shaken to the point to where you struggle to perform. I will teach…

Joining the future business leaders of America, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, becoming a youth leader at Christ Church, as well as many other volunteering activities helped me enrich my community, and make an impact in the world around me. Along with these organizations, I have played several sports in high school, in my junior and senior years I settled on my two favorite sports, track and field, and volleyball. Within these sports I have made friendships with my teammates I will never forget, and learned important lessons in humbleness when winning, and cohere with my friends when losing. By being a member of any sports teams at my high school, I regularly attended many of my school’s events, giving me the opportunity to develop relationships, and gain a tremendous sense of pride in my school. I am looking forward to bringing this same sense of pride to my college, and making many new friendships along the way.

While I didn’t always enjoy running in the grueling heat, it taught me about teamwork, dedication, and endurance.

My team got region champions in 2010 and this past season. Needless to say, we made our coach very proud.…

During the hockey season, it was difficult to balance schoolwork with hockey. However, I managed my time and made room for both and made sure that I did not allow myself to fall behind in my school work because I was always told that school comes first. I did not want to jeopardize my school work but I was dedicated to being a part of ice hockey because it is an activity I enjoyed. I was able to utilize my leadership skills in my role on first line as a starter. This role showed me the importance of a leader and how difficult being a leader can be because all of my other teammates saw what I was doing and would try and do the same. My background experiences have allowed me to grow and mature. I am excited to utilize my knowledge and experiences to fullest. I aspire to major in biology at Pennsylvania State University and later become an Orthopedic Surgeon. After my visit at Pennsylvania State University I realized that this is the school I see myself attending after high school. With the knowledge and experiences I have acquired through the years, I am confident that I can not only be a successful student, but also contribute socially and academically to the school.
