During my whole life, I have watched someone grow and change overtime. This person has become a hard worker, passionate, and a great student at Liberty High School. This person turns out to be my little sister.
Even though it’s going great for her now, before she moved into the area, things did not seem as bright as they do now.
“It was difficult,” Ella Judge (9) said. “There were so many more people around, and I wanted to find the right group of friends.”
Judge’s school before she moved into the Wentzville School District, Maplewood Richmond Heights Elementary, had 417 students. That is barely more than what Liberty has in each grade.
However, Judge picked up many activities, a total of five in Frontier Middle. With this, she was able to make new friends quickly with how kind of a person she is.
“I was in theatre, cross country, track, choir, and cheerleading,” Judge said.
This busy schedule is a trait she carried on through high school, keeping four out of the five activities she had at Frontier. With the busy schedule comes busy stress, which she made light of.
“It definitely gets stressful when my activities overlap,” Judge said.
However, even with the business, stress, and hardship that can come from this, it is still all worth it for her. She can find a reason to do everything that she does. For choir, she “enjoys singing,” for cross country and track, she “loved the experience last year,” and for theatre, she was actually forced into it. But after participating in theatre for a while, she still enjoyed it.
Doing the activities themselves aren’t the biggest reason for Judge doing everything. For her, and her friends in these activities, it’s the culture inside them. Even when she is tired and stressed, she still makes time to help out her friends, and build more relationships. According to Judge, “I love to hang out with friends and build more relationships.”
Judge definitely does not want to choose just one thing to do. According to her, she does not want to try one thing, when she has limited time.
“I only get four years in high school, and I want to do the most that I can,” she said.
She wants to try everything, without it letting her school work slip.
