Coaches' Question:
"If you could give some Spring Break tips or advice to your younger self, what would it be?"
Ms. Jenni
"Cool experiences don't have to cost a ton of money; a little planning, penny-pinching, and pooling resources with friends can give you memories you can cherish for a lifetime "
"
I was able to maintain pretty good balance and I used my spring break time wisely in college. Sometimes I would catch up on school work, visit family, travel out of state or just relax. My advice would be to enjoy spring break to the fullest, because after college, spring break is pretty obsolete.
"
 .
"Sleep, catch up on overlooked school work, and relax!"
Ms. Fenise
"It would be to take a real break from everything, travel with a purpose and come back refreshed and renewed "
Mr. Dennis
"
Best Spring break tip I would give myself would be to enjoy the moment to the fullest. These times with friends are memories that will last forever!"
Ms. Courtney
"I went to college out of state and very far away from home and my family. So I always came back to visit during breaks. Now though, I'd give my younger self permission to travel elsewhere and just get away and relax. Spring break is pretty close to summer break anyway; looking back, I think my family would have understood."
Mr. Peter
"I wish I had participated in an Alternative Breaks trip. It's an amazing way to travel for cheap while also engaging in some community service."
Ms. Destiney
" Travel, and be in the moment. Create lasting memories, connections, and traditions with lifelong friends."
