“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'm a scout, and one of my assistant Scoutmasters is John Harrison. He went to Clayton High School. One of the greatest pieces of advice he gave me is that if it's not hard, it's not worth doing. Now, I apply that when doing anything if it's too easy. I try [to overcome] the difficulty or whatever [I do]. If it's too hard, it's perfect.” - Michael Milchanaski, 9](https://www.chsglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Michael-Milchanaski-899x1200.png)

!["I look up to a lot of people, but the number one person I look up to is my mom. She's really strong. When I was younger, I was really bad at most [of] my classes. My mom would step in and try to help me, even though she had a lot of work." - Soluchi Akannam, 9](https://www.chsglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/file.jpg)

!["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](https://www.chsglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Molla-Alina-Arnold-1200x899.png)

!["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](https://www.chsglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-14-at-5.58.28 PM-1200x639.png)

!["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](https://www.chsglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Gabi-Zielinska-1200x899.png)
