Even on busy days, I love to take some time to study outside and enjoy the nature.

Bustling Wednesday lunches, an exhausting swimming practice, several long hours in the library, and studying for the next math test make our daily life seem like it is on the brim of its maximum capacity. Constantly running from class to class, with a paper in hand, cramming for the English vocabulary test next period, sometimes we are so busy doing what is assigned to us that we forget what we do best: caring.

Caring for each other happens: we somehow find a little time to take a break and relax with someone and get to know how that person is really doing. Our caring for each other makes Williston a community of connected people, able to lend a hand when necessary.

On December 7, at the Boys Varsity Basketball game, Williston students tried something new as fans. Usually, at basketball games, fans will get loud and excited at the tip-off, marking the start of the game and then cheer each time their team scores a point. But, at this game Williston fans waited until the 10th point to make any noise at all. Until the 10th point, Williston fans were silent. But, when that 10th point came, which was scored by Junior Adey Adams, the bleachers erupted with very loud, thunderous cheer. “It was absolutely insane,” says Freshman Calvin Frye.
