Q & A: Sydney Miller

Sydney is a Freshman @ Valley Lutheran High School

Zona: Was Christ Lutheran a good school? How did CLS prepare you for high school?

Sydney: Christ Lutheran was a great school. It was hard most of the time, but the teachers definitely prepared me for high school. For instance, Mrs. Roe had a No Excuses policy in her English class, so any late work was a zero.

Zona: Could you tell us about a teacher you thought was great at CLS?

Sydney: Mr. Doyle, my math teacher, was great! He had a very loud voice and could joke around with the students. He also taught math very well.

Zona:What is it like being a freshman in high school?

Sydney: I love high school. I was a little nervous at first, but I have a brother who goes to Valley, and a sister who just graduated from there. I met a bunch of new people and made some close friends.

Zona: Are you happy with your choice of high schools? Why?

Sydney: I am really happy with where I go. The teachers are awesome, and you can tell they really care about me and the other students.  Also, you can do almost any sport here.

Zona: Is it rare to play varsity volleyball as a freshman? Did you surprise yourself by making the team, or did you know you were going to do it?

Sydney: Well, every year they get one, and I happened to be it. I was really surprised though. I thought that there would be no room for me on the team.

Zona: What are some of your volleyball goals? What are some of your other goals in high school?

Sydney: For volleyball, my goal would be that I want to get a solid jump serve, and be good enough to play in college when that time comes. For high school, my goal is to get a 3.9 or higher on my GPA.

Zona: What are your strongest skills on the volleyball court? What are some of your strongest skills with other people?

Sydney: I’m very consistent. I am also good at spot serving, and I keep my team pumped up. As for people, I’m pretty out-going and can usually cheer people up.
