Girls Skate!
Sosina Challa lives in Ethiopia. That’s in Africa. When she was about 16, she saw a group of boys skateboarding in a parking lot. “I used to watch skateboarding in the movies,” Challa told TIME for Kids. “But I never got the chance to try.” That changed. “I just asked if I could try to skate,” she says. “It was fun!” At the time, skateboarding was still pretty new in Ethiopia. The sport was male-dominated, just as it is today. But Challa was hooked. She wanted girls to experience skateboarding. So in 2020, she teamed up with her friend Micky Asfaw to start Ethiopian Girl Skaters (EGS). The club provides free skateboarding lessons to girls and young women. “It’s not just about skateboarding,” she says. “We try to build a community.” EGS lessons take place on Saturdays at Addis Skatepark. It’s in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital and largest city. Each session has about 35 students. “You get skating sessions and friendship and family,” skater Kenan Menasse recently told VOA Africa. “That’s the best.” Club members come from diverse backgrounds. Some need help paying for school materials and fees. Others need mental health support. “They go through a lot, so we try to mentor them,” Asfaw says. “Skateboarding is a bridge for us to connect with the girls.” Skateboarding was popularized in California in the 1960s. But it didn’t take off in Ethiopia until about 10 years ago. “It’s just growing,” Asfaw says. “It’s an interesting, extreme sport.” “When I started skateboarding,” Challa says, “there were no girls actively participating in the skate community because of the stereotype.” In traditional Ethiopian society, she explains, girls are expected to stay home and help their parents. “The sport is for everyone,” she tells adults who may be hesitant to let their daughters join the club. “Everyone in the community helps each other,” Challa says about EGS and its members. “That’s how we try to build our sistership.”

Ways to Keep in Touch with Your High School Friends after Graduation
Change can be such a bittersweet feeling. You get comfortable with a structure and timeframe, but suddenly, that structure gets altered. This happens in every stage of your life, but the first noticeable time this significantly occurs is probably as a high school senior (especially during pre-graduation and post-graduation). After being put in the same schooling process for about 4 years and seeing the same faces every day, as soon as you throw up your graduation cap, everyone is immediately on their own path. Most students go to college immediately, some decide to take a gap year, some start a job, and some are never heard of after graduation. It’s almost been a year since the class of 2022 graduated, and in a couple of months, the class of 2023 will also embark on the same journey. If you had or have a friend group from high school, it’s completely normal to be worried about how you will continue to stay friends with everyone. With that, here are ways to keep in touch with your high school friends. High school graduates summer activities vary from person to person, as some students may be getting ready for college (orientation, packing, meeting their roommates etc.), and some may just want to relax during summer while figuring out how they plan on spending their life. However, summer time is one of the best times to keep in touch with your high school friends, as most of you will probably still be near each other (in terms of location) for the time being. Be intentional about meeting up, so you can just spend time with each other. Do things you would usually do together, and reminisce on your fun times.
By the time summer period is over, everyone is truly on their own path, so interacting through social media can help keep in touch with your friends a lot. Interact on your group chats, add yourselves to each other’s private stories and close friend lists, check up on each other, and regularly update yourselves on new developments that are happening in your life. Social media makes communication so much easier, so facetime, video chat and talk online as much as possible. Some students like travelling out of state for college, and other high school graduates who don’t go to college immediately may not want to stay in their state, so they can rediscover themselves. This means there is a high chance everyone is scattered across the country or even out of the country. Based on this, the only time you may have the chance to meet up with your high school friends may be during holiday periods. Some key holidays this may be possible are: Thanksgiving, Winter break and Summer break. Make plans with your high school friends ahead of time to make sure everyone will be around at the same time, and plan how you’ll hang out with each other to catch up. As soon as your graduate from your high school, you immediately become an alumnus. A lot of high schools usually organize alumnus activities to get their former students to remain a key member of the community. You can plan ahead with your high school friends on the kind of activities you’d like to participate in, and the days you’d like to go for these activities. This way, you get to still be a part of your high school community, and meet up with your high school friends every once in a while. It won’t make sense to immediately throw a reunion party after graduation, but a little down the line, in about 3-5 years, you can decide to throw a reunion party for your set mates with the help of your high school friends, (or ask your high school administration to get involved) so you can see how far everyone has come and catch up with as many people as possible. Although you may feel the need and desire to desperately want to catch up with your high school friends because of situations such as FOMO (fear of missing out) and separation anxiety, it is also important to grow and open up your mind to change. Don’t get so fixated on wanting to live in the past that you forget to experience the present and the changes right in front of you. Change is a very scary thing, but sometimes it helps you grow and reinvent yourself in so many ways. High school and high school friends are great, but open up your mind too.
1. Change is a feeling that everyone experiences
A. during their high school years.

My name is Leah Williamson, and I am a professional football player, a defender for Arsenal, but when I was little I was the kid that always wanted to go to school. When I was there, I absolutely loved it – I’d go back in a heartbeat if you offered me the chance to spend a day as a kid again.
I was lucky in that there were always lots going on. It was quite a sporty school, which was obviously great for me, but thinking back, it was also really good in terms of drama, music and getting us to be creative. I'm nowhere near those kinds of fields now, but back then, that really helped to get the most out of me as a kid. I learned a lot, for which I’m very appreciative. I was also lucky to have teachers who went out of their way to accommodate me, ‘the girl who played football’. There wasn't a girls’ football team at my school, but I was allowed to play in the school team alongside the boys – which sounds horrific to me now, but at the time, at least people went out of their way to make that happen. Big shout out to Mr Kearsley, because he was great to me at school, and helped me in any way he could.
Women's football isn’t yet at the same stage as the men’s football, so my job is to be a footballer but also to promote the game. That’ll probably never stop, because we'll be chasing that level of men's sport for a long time, but it’s still lovely to know that what we're doing is already making a difference. I have to thank those who came before me, who had it worse than I did. When my mum was younger, she actually cut her hair off to play in her school’s football team with the boys. It was easier for me, and girls now have it easier than I did. If it's something they want to do, they can just do it without having to fight for it. Now that the interest is there, we can help to inspire girls, and give them an avenue into the sport that they maybe don't know is available to them.

Exam Stress? How to Be at Peace with Performance, Whatever the Result
I know the feeling of getting your test back and seeing a low grade, leaving a pit in your stomach and feeling worthless. These scores hold so much importance in our lives, with people constantly telling us how crucial it is to get that A+ and how vital it is to get into the best university in order to have a good life. The truth is that no one has it all figured out, no one is going to hold this one test against you for your life. There is so much more to life than school, if you ever find yourself overwhelmed and overworked, take a step back and think about the endless possibilities that life holds, an F does not mean your existence comes to an end. The anxiety due to exams will consume you to the point where you mess it up despite how hard you prepared. The pressure of endless exams can leave you overwhelmed and burnt out. How do you handle this? If you are not satisfied with your results, pause and think rationally before believing it's the end of the world, because trust me, it's far from that. Did you put in the work to prepare? If not, then you know what you have to change, and you know what you have to do next time to do better and not face such a feeling of disappointment again. If yes, then you need to look at where you're going wrong, what you missed out on studying, and what you could've studied better. Failure is not the end, it motivates you to do better the next time. We need certain wake-up calls in our life to know when we need to step up and take control. That's just the reality of how the world works, and it is important for us to experience such things. Don't take criticism harshly, take each misstep, each failure, and each remark as a learning opportunity and you will soon start to see yourself thrive. The way in which you look at your life and control your actions is the way in which you will start to live the life you once dreamed of. I know there are students who cannot be at peace with their performance even if they have done relatively well, this is perfectly normal as it's a drive to always do better and be better, helping you to grow as a person. Being hardworking and wanting to achieve the best is not a bad quality but just proves that you are ready to put in the work and effort to accomplish your goals. However, this drive should never have you beating yourself up and putting unnecessary pressure on you, then it begins to take a toll on your mental well-being. You should always be proud of what you have achieved, it's an amazing thing what you are capable of and you have your whole life ahead of you to further showcase your potential. There are several ways to better yourself in anything you do. In 10th grade, I got a C in my math mid-terms, but by the end of my finals I got an A*. This was not easy, but it involved me realizing that, yes, I am disappointed in how I performed, but how am I going to change that? The change starts when you decide to make it. Ask for help if you can or go online and look at the endless YouTube videos that give helpful advice. There are several study methods that could work better for you, you just have to find and implement them. Blurting is a method I find significantly useful. Much of school does depend on memorizing. Read your notes well, understand the concepts and then go on to take a blank sheet of paper and write down everything you remember. Check what you missed out on and this will help you to remember everything that is needed for your test, BUT do not forget to understand the concepts well before memorizing, otherwise, you will have no idea what is going on inside your mind. Making mindmaps, flowcharts and even using a whiteboard to act like you're teaching someone else is an effective way of learning and visualising your work in a better way, making studying fun! After all of this, make sure to answer some practice questions and past papers as it always gives you an idea of how the actual exam will be. Especially for math, make sure you keep solving. Math is solely practice. I hope some of these ideas were helpful for you. If not, you can always do what works best for you, but remember not to leave anything for the last minute. The biggest issue we face in school is procrastination. We have all been there, but is it really the best choice? Sometimes procrastination works out, making us feel like we can continue to do it because we face no consequences. It's common human nature to think like this but the stress of last-minute work should not be the motivation for you to actually do your task. This is a downward spiral that will just leave you overwhelmed at the end of it. Focus on finishing things bit by bit over a period of time rather than letting it all pile up for the end. Trust me this is a life-saver.
