What's Your Phobia?
by Becky Wu

Phobia, an excessive or unnecessary fear, is an extremely common condition for the people today. Valley Christian, too, is no exception. Let’s see what phobias Valley staff members and students have.

“Mustard! It totally scares me. I don’t know why I’m scared of it but it just freaks me out and makes me sick when I think about it or look at it!”
- Senior Brittany Hendrick

“Airplane landings. The part where the plane is going to land and you feel that little bump. Yeah, it feels like the plane is going to crash.”
- Senior Andrew Kikuta

“I hate snakes, they are so creepy! I mean look at it, the scaly skin and their freaky eyes are just so gross.”
- Senior Alex Fish

“Ants, definitely! They’re small but they’re everywhere. It’s so disgusting when you see a whole unit of them. I’m also really freaked out by heights. Especially when I go snowboarding and have to go on the chair lifts.”
- Senior Rita Hage

“I don’t like driving, I always feel like my steering wheel is going to go out of control and I’m going to hit a tree or something.”
- Office Staff Mrs. McLaughlin

“I don’t really have a phobia. If I have to name one, than it would be students chewing gum in the office and in classes.”
- Vice Principal Mr. Lodewyk

“I really don’t like being alone, it scares me.”

Guatamala Trip 2006
The Guatemala team traveled to Guatemala the week of February 17, 2006. Mr. Steve Torode as well as Mr. Nathan Smith and Mrs. Lisa Moore accompanied the students on their six-hour flight far away from home.
While in Guatemala, the group of 17 students helped to build the roof of a schoolhouse. They went to San Antonio Nejapa, Antigua, and Guatemala City. They also visited schools where they did activities with children such as ball games and blowing bubbles. A favorite game of the students that was shared in chapel was Shrimp and Caramel. One person starts by saying shrimp, and the other person answers back with caramel. Though the game sounds simple, it was a way to get the kids involved with the students.

Valley Christian Theater’s spring musical, Oklahoma, is one of its finest accomplishments yet. The authenticity, dedication, and captivation of the audience by the performers brought people back for more.
