The answers may vary. Commitment takes on many forms. A marriage is a commitment between two people, and, as is the hope in all marriages, lasts a lifetime. Then Taylor Clementi A pig- and I already have one. Mark Patterson My own cat Not Just about the Run again many variables arise within that commitment alone. Defining a break in that particular commitment is not clear at times. Some commitments are much more easily completed. I recently committed to having lunch with a friend, and clearly, after we left the restaurant, the commitment ceased. Now there is a new form of commitment in my life. I committed to getting my body ready for a marathon. Talk about variables. Who knew that committing to a marathon brings on an entire realm of different commitments? I have to eat, sleep, drink, and even walk a certain way and, you guessed it, If you could have any animal in the world as a pet, what would it be? Kendall Kakowski A duck Conor Lance A red tail boa Page 2 • April 23,2009 • I have to commit to doing those tasks correctly. But as tough as those additional tasks become, it is not the toughest variable. For years I committed myself to several teams. My ultimate team commitment went to my college tennis team; and while tennis may have all the symptoms of an individual sport, take it from me, there is no way possible I could have achieved anything without my team. This marathon is a new battle. I have to sign myself up for races. They are small races at first, with several 5ks and 10ks just to get used to a new competitive atmosphere. No one wants to eat with the same habits I have right now. When my friends want to “grab some drinks,” my drinks are usually different, and conveniently less expensive. Sometimes I run out of time and have to schedule a 5AM run, pushing my bedtime forward several hours. The struggle is doing all of this without motivation outside myself. No teammate forcing me to hit three-hundred backhands after practice because I missed four during. No friend to call and remind me where lunch is this time. Everyday is a new motivation. Everyday is a new variable. It is •See Run, Page 18 Laney Patterson A monkey Brandon Allen A snake The Blythewood Leader
Do You Remember Your First........? There are certain events in an individual’s life that are looked back upon as moments of extreme joy and pride that they will always be remembered fondly. These types of events are things like the first time you rode your bike without training wheels or with the help of your dad. The first time you pick out your outfit for Sunday school entirely by yourself, (even though now you look back and realize you did not look as fabulous as you thought you did then). The first time you walked through the double doors of a high school and suddenly began to let yourself think that you are the coolest person alive simply because you are in high school. The first time you drove a car by yourself or the first kiss you shared with someone you really liked. Life is full of first moments, and recently I experienced what it is like to have my first real office job. I have had jobs before, of course, but never the typical nine to five job that signifies one’s transition from childhood to adulthood. I saw getting this job as an opportunity to develop a different type of skill that I have not had the opportunity to develop in previous work environments.

Madison Cooke Columnist frantically running about the office attending to last minute details- days before a big event. Yes, I work in an office doing typical nine to five duties like making copies, answering phones and dealing with random people that come into the office in distress wanting tickets to events. But my job has perks and lots of fun opportunities that people typically do not know about. I am an assistant with the event programming department of George Washington University called Program Board. Program Board plans events like Jason Mraz and Ben Fold’s concerts, showings of movies prior to their opening in the theatres, or events where nobel prize winners speak about their work. As a member of this organization, I will get to do things like meet and greet these incredible people when they arrive on campus. I personally haven’t been working at Program Board long enough to experience one of these wonderful opportunities. But my coworkers had all access passes at the Jason Marz and Ben Folds concert and they had the opportunity to meet the performers personally. It is exciting to know that my typical nine to five office job also translates into a once in a life time •See Firsts, Page 18 Good Ole Boys Construction LLC Available 7 Days A Week! • Complete Home Remodeling & Repair • Specialize in Trim Cut Houses - Including Balconies • Custom Built Cabinets, Doors, & Fireplace Mantles • Installation of Any Type Floor - Including Tile and Ceramic • Roofing, Vinyl Siding, Painting, Sheetrock • Decks, Porches, Screened Porches, Fencing Licensed & Insured (803) 600-0470 David Ross • • MickeyD’s AUTO The Blythewood Leader April 23,2009 Page 3 Scott 11019 Wilson Blvd. Highway 21 754-8430 Todd Mickey THINKING OF A GRADUATION GIFT?
