New Meaning of "HIGH" school




 Jayd tried out for the Highschool Volleyball team this year.  His motivations were questionable....he didn't like his 6th period teacher and wanted to be transferred out of her class.  He knew this would happen if he needed 6th period PE. 

This worked out according to plan, but he had an unexpected result he didn't anticipate.  He loves this sport!!  He has had so much fun playing on this team.  Thanks to a recent growth spurt, he is quite tall giving him a great advantage as a middle blocker.  About halfway through the season, he also discovered he has a talent for being an outside hitter and really enjoys playing that position as well.  It gave new meaning to "HIGH" school as I continually watched him jump up and reach over the 8 ft net.  I really saw him (and the rest of the team) improve and grow over the season.  The season ended on Monday, but that hasn't stopped the team from continuing to play together (volleyball and other things).  For whatever the reason, I am really glad that he has played this year and am looking forward to watching him play for years to come.
