Two and half years, three seasons and three County Championships — that’s likely how seniors on the Kennedy boys’ volleyball team will remember their time as Cougars. Kennedy swept Floral Park 25-16, 25-17 and 26-24 in the Class B Championships Thursday night to take home the county crown.

Editor’s note: Shulman is a Herald student columnist from Kennedy High School, which has students from Bellmore and Merrick.
From the time that we are children, we are told to be ourselves –– to be unique. Students show their unique natures daily. How they dress, how they act and how they learn are all different. But there is one part of school where most students do not try to be themselves: their schedule. Why does this happen? Students constantly ask their guidance counselors the question, “What looks good for college?” instead of the asking themselves the obvious question, “What do I actually enjoy?”

Editor’s note: Shulman is a Herald youth columnist from Kennedy High School, which has students from Bellmore and Merrick.
Most juniors will take the SAT for the first time this spring. Therefore, a common topic of discussion in the halls of Kennedy High School now is SAT preparation, and for a majority of students, the main method of preparation is a tutor. From a small survey that I conducted among my classmates, the median cost of their one-on-one SAT tutors was $95 per hour. The maximum cost was an exorbitant $300 per hour.
