At the middle school level, there are many academic clubs in which students can participate. Students can
choose clubs that focus on an area of interest.
Mathcounts Club
Mathcounts tries to increase excitement towards mathematic achievement. It hopes to provide students with the
foundation for success in science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers. Schools select individuals and
teams to participate in competitions. Local competitions are held in February with winners progressing to state
competitions and then on to the national level. Mathcounts works to challenge students’ math skills, develop
self-confidence and give rewards for their achievements.
Envirotbon
The Envirothon program focuses on natural resources knowledge and exposes students to diverse
environmental issues, ecosystems, and topography. The ecology field competition for five-member middle school
teams offers competitions in wildlife, soils, forestry, current environmental issues and aquatics. Students work and
learn in middle school clubs and can compete at the local and state level.
Future Problem Solvers
Future Problem Solvers is an academic club that uses a six-step process to solve problems that may happen in
the future. Students who are in the talented and gifted program, who like to “think out of the box,” or who enjoy
thinking about futuristic problems may like this club. Teams consisting of four students read future scenes and write
up solutions in a booklet using the six-step process. Teams that score high enough can go to the state competition
and then to the international competition.
Builders Club
Builders Club is open to any middle school student who wishes to perform community service. Each Builders
Club is co-sponsored by a Kiwanis club and the middle school. The members learn by doing, and they learn
organization, teamwork, and leadership. Builders Clubs can sponsor a “Teacher of the Year” program, provide a
recycling collection point, organize canned food and clothing drives to support local shelters, adopt a resident at a
local senior citizens home, adopt a highway, tutor, etc.
Middle school academic clubs offer students a place to explore interests or talents. The clubs they join in
middle school can help guide choices in high school and beyond.

Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel
with, but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is
something everyone should do at least once in their life, “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of
your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your
wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building
and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The
Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished lie had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet,
the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the
30-year-old man.
Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is
ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of
what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep
down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the
heart of the wilderness.”

A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.

In New York，Ma witnessed the Alibaba Group opening on the New York stock exchange with the largest initial

Guardian. He is funny, creative, and an outstanding speaker. Ma told Time magazine that he was “old for the
