On Wednesday, September 18th, the DECA and P2AC clubs successfully organized and presented the SKIDs program to the juniors and seniors of HHS. SKIDs stands for Stop Kids Intoxicated Driving. This assembly re-enacted a drunk driving accident on the athletic fields with real police, emergency vehicles and a life flight helicopter. The accident might have been staged, but the emotions were real.
Performer:
In all honesty, no one really understands what we performers go through. They see us put on our performance one time. They think it’s as easy as 1-2-3. In reality, they don’t see how hard we work to get our lines right and our body motions to go with the lines. Everything must be practiced and done right. In rehearsal we may joke around with each other and play around, but when we hit that stage, everything becomes professional. If we do something wrong, we can criticize ourselves for weeks, even months about what we did wrong. If we do everything right and perfect, we give ourselves so much confidence and assurance that we were nothing less than amazing!
As we stand on that stage under the bright lights, our heart beats fast,our palms start sweating, and it almost feels like we’re under pressure to be perfect.
We performers are always dedicated and determined to make a show amazing and perfect. We stay after school, 2 days a week, until 5:30 in the afternoon practicing and perfecting every little piece of our performance. We want to do and be our best for everyone. As we stand on that stage under the bright lights, our heart beats fast,our palms start sweating, and it almost feels like we’re under pressure to be perfect. We get nervous because all we want is for the audience to enjoy the show, but we also don’t want to mess up. Sure we make mistakes, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop and perfect it. If we’re in rehearsal, that’s fine but on stage, in front of an audience, the show must go on.
With the Heritage wolf pack surrounding the stands and a crisp cool air giving a warning of the rain to come, Heritage Football walked out onto the field. Fans were packed into one undulating mass of purple, and the game was on. Right after kick-off Heritage recovered a fumble marking the beginning of a relentless onslaught brought on by the wolves.
“Play one” was the defining play according to Wyatt Luedecker, and he repeatedly stated how the first play that resulted in a 23 yard touchdown pass to Jeremiah Kelly is what created the momentum that ended in a 40 to 0 Heritage win. “We hit them hard, we scored touchdowns, we didn’t stop, and we didn’t take our foot off the pedal”.

Playing on Friday nights is the absolute best thing we ever do. The atmosphere is unreal. It’s a war we prepare a whole week for. We won the battle. The win, our first win, was the beginning of our new reign. And because it’s my senior year, getting that win meant a lot.
When Jay Allen took that hand off in the end zone, late in the fourth quarter, the realization sunk in, the game was ours. Read more
We grow to learn from our parents’ rights,
Their wrongs,
Their mistakes.
They teach us whether or not it’s wrong
To be passionate about the things you love, our presentation of
Ourselves.
A child is born into this world knowing nothing.
It is what we teach that child that will create its perspective on this world.
What will create their piece of mind? Read more
