A busy break: Bethel student plans for spring break
Extracurricular obligations keep many students busy through spring break, but they promise rewarding travel experiences.
Bethel’s much-anticipated spring break has arrived, and students are gearing up for a variety of activities ranging from sports tournaments to leisurely trips. From Texas to Wyoming, and even choir tours, the break promises a mix of excitement, relaxation, and some rigorous competition.
Senior Milan Bucek from the Czech Republic shared insights into his tennis team's trip to Texas. "The main purpose of the trip is to get ready for the season," he stated. "We're going to play against some really good players and hopefully have some solid matches." His enthusiasm for the upcoming challenges was evident as he detailed their itinerary, including matches against formidable opponents like Our Lady of the Lake and an NBA game in San Antonio.
Meanwhile, senior Louisa Lehmann from Germany is embarking on a scenic journey to Wyoming, where she plans to visit Yellowstone National Park and enjoy the hot springs. Despite her reservations about the cold weather, she remains excited about the adventure ahead, albeit with a winter coat in tow.
For junior Madison Terrell, spring break means embarking on her first choir tour, offering an opportunity to bond with fellow choir members and explore different states. "I'm excited to see Texas the most because some of my family members are coming to my concert," she shared. Her packed schedule, including rehearsals for an upcoming school play, reflects her commitment to both academics and extracurriculars.
On the other hand, senior Ashley Kehrt's spring break revolves around softball, with six games scheduled during the break. Despite the demanding schedule, she hopes to find time to catch up on homework and relax.
"Softball never gets a spring break," Kehrt lamented, highlighting the dedication required of student-athletes. She expressed a wish for the campus cafeteria to remain open during the break to provide essential support for athletes who stay on campus. "I wish Bethel would at least have the Caf open because there are students, or at least athletes, that are still here," she added.
While each student's plans vary, their common goal of making the most of the break shines through. Whether it's preparing for the season, exploring new destinations, or spending time with loved ones, Bethel students are ready to embrace the opportunities that spring break brings.
