Doubling up at Olympics: Texarkana’s Roberson is Paris Games alternate

Texarkana native gymnast Joscelyn Roberson mirrors her idol growing up, Simone Biles . Both stand 4-foot-8 and weigh 104 pounds. And both are in Paris for the Summer Olympic Games. Biles heads the five-woman U.S. Olympic team, and Roberson was named a traveling alternate, so she is on the U.S. sideline and able to compete if needed. Roberson is the second athlete from Texarkana to compete in the Olympics. Jarrion Lawson, a Liberty-Eylau all-state track and field champion and former University of Arkansas All-American, competes in his second Olympic Games.

Talking, Talent and Testimonies—Trials and Triumphs

Hello guys and gals...How is everyone? How are your jobs and families? Like many of you, I often need a dose of spiritual nourishment. I’m constantly working to “take every thought captive” (2 Cor. 10:5) and realign my thoughts with the truth. … I constantly keep reminding myself that things could always get worse and that I can’t be worried and thankful at the same time. But let me say this. If anyone has the art of being worried and thankful at the same time perfected, it is me. I kid you not. I am a pro at this. I try to remember to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thess. 5:

Hooks High School 2024 Senior Perspective

In the words of Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda, yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift, which is why it is called the present. HooIn my long four year's of high school, I learned to appreciate the day I was given and take control of my destiny. However, I didn't always know how to be disciplined, and it was because of the past that I learned how to. It all started my freshman year, the year of the pandemic, and like many others, my mentality got completely switched. I became more sluggish and lazy, with a complete lack of drive.

Arkansas High School 2024 Senior Perspective

Reflecting on my past four years at Arkansas High School, I realize how much the students and faculty have shaped my life. Attending a big 5A rivalry school like ours was always exciting, especially with the town's anticipation for the Arkansas vs. Texas games. But when I started high school, COVID-19 was still affecting everything, and things hadn’t returned to normal. On the first day of freshman year, I woke up not knowing what to expect.

Maud High School 2024 Senior Perspective

I am not a die-hard country music fan, but I do not mind it. In 2007, Carrie Underwood wrote a song called "So Small." In this song, it talks about how sometimes something that feels huge is actually so small in the grand scheme of things. High school is just that. Not only did I come from a small 2A school, but the four years I spent there flew by, and now, looking back, it is a small chapter in the vast life in front of me. I was involved in many extracurricular activities while taking dual credit courses.

PGISD 2024 Senior Perspective

Like all the seniors this year, I started my high school career at Pleasant Grove during the pandemic. Making friends in masks and walking in one direction throughout the entire school while social distancing was tough. And I had other trials, too. Family members who passed and friends who came and went. But when I think back on my time, there are some special moments that stand out. … I thought about the perfect prank, one that was innocent enough but would make the perfect amount of raucous and fun. The summer before my senior year, I met with my favorite counselor to lay plans.
