Not the kind of balance needed to hit a good golf shot or excel at gymnastics but the kind that helps you live a productive life. Both boys do that well by doing by getting good grades, playing an instrument, participating in all types of sports and being generally a nice people. Sam got recognized by the faculty for being the most balanced person in eight grade this year. I'm sure Dylan was right up there as well.
Here's the official definition of the award.
Sam embodied the International Baccalaureate characteristic of "Balance." The IB Learners profile states, "they understand the importance of intellectual, physical and emotional balance to achieve personal well-being for themselves and others."
