Destination Imagination 2003
D.I. People

     Even though we've had a couple of "technical difficulties," the EPJ High School D.I. Team is ready for action!  We've been through a lot in the past 3 months but things have made us stronger.  We're fired up now and nothing's gonna stop us from going to world this year!

And the Contestants are....

Karley S.
 
A Regular to the D.I. experience, Karley has been in every type of dance you can imagine...tap, ballet, jazz, palm, ect.  Being in her 3rd year, she's always had some form of the main role.  She's the funniest girl on the team and always makes Kaila laugh so hard she cries.  She's involved in Softball and the 1-Act Play this year.  But don't think you can have her, cause she's already taken! (lol)

Stephanie R.
 
Another D.I. regular, Steph can take any joke.  She has a really good sense of humor, but watch out for that arm...She can pitch in softball at almost 40 MPH!  This year her past-times are crusin' around EP, girls basketball manager, and a small role in the 1-Act Play.  She's fun to be around and use to be Kaila's worse enemy until... well, "technical difficulties".

Katie L.
 
Kaite is the newest member to our group.  She just got voted in this year because Jessica thought she was moving.  She's excellent at writing and has had many poems published in books.  Katie's girls basketball manager with Stephanie this year.  Don't think she's just plain, cause you've never seen her hyper!  And when that happens...watch out!

Kaila H.
 
The bossy one in the group, she keeps us in order.  For the past 3 years all of us know we'd never have gotten to state twice without her yelling at us to quit messing around.  When Mrs. Van Wyk wasn't there she took it to herself to be the responsible one.  Kaila's into  softball and softball and oh, softball.  This agressive girl isn't always the mean one, you should see her after a couple of sodas!

Victor C.
 
Victor is now the only boy in D.I.  He's only been in it for 2 years.  In his free time he likes to shoot hoops and hang out with his "bro" Ricky.  This year he's in boys basketball, football, marshal arts, baseball, and probably track. (in other words, he's a jock)  Victor is the craziest one in our group.  He's also the only one to ever get hurt in EPJ D.I. history! (sprained ankle)

Jessica P.
 
Jessica though she was moving this year, but things changed.  Because of "technical difficulties" she was able to join back in this year to make her a regular.  Jessica is involved in softball and the 1-Act Play.  She is very creative and loves to paint, draw, color, ect.  Her and Kaila are the only 2 girls in Art II!  When she's hyper she can sound just like Cartman off South Park!

"Technical Difficulties"
 
     What is ment by "technical difficulties" is the problems people in our group have had.  In other words: Genevieve and Casey.  They were going out last year but split up in like September.  We'd started D.I. without Jessica (she thought she was moving).  Katie took her place and we had the regulars from last year (including Casey and Gen).
     Kaila wanted to help Gen get over Casey so there wouldn't be 2 many problems between them.  That didn't go so well... Gen thought Kaila was trying to make Casey and her hate each other.  Gen told some ppl that Kaila was trying to break up Karley (a regular) and her boyfriend, which wasn't true.  Steph and Jessica were good friends with both Kaila and Gen. 
     They started to doubt Gen's stories about what Kaila said.  Karley now hated Kaila for it.  Casey and Victor believed Gen because she'd never lied to them before.  Steph and Jess sided with their oldest friend, Kaila.  Karley and Katie were in the middle.  Gen only talked to guys...aka Victor (jess's man) Casey, and Ricky(karley's man).  Jessica, Kaila, and Steph got suspicious about all the time she was hanging with the guys.  Karley realized it soon after.  And Katie sided with her bestest friend Kaila, finally. 
     Gen had no more friends in D.I. except Victor and Casey.  She quit and rejoined 3 times.  (The rest of us couldn't believe Mrs. Van Wyk was putting up with this).  Casey didn't like it anymore (he never came to meetings anyways) so he quit, too.  Victor was busy with sports and all and was thinking about quitting.  Casey was pushing him to also.  With Gen and Casey out, Jessica could join in, since there wasn't much of a chance for anyone to buy their house this early in winter.  Victor said he'd stay once he found that out.  Now we are a happy group and EVERYONE gets along.
