"I don’t believe in love at first sight," Rebeka

"I don’t believe in love at first sight," Rebeka Dawit ('25) said. "I think it’s impossible to fall in love with someone just based on look’s especially in this day and age, so that's why it’s only in fairy tales. It’s fake unless it’s your celeb crush.”

"I believe that dreams have hidden messages," Dani

"I believe that dreams have hidden messages," Daniel Carvan ('26) said. "This is because many things I dream about seem to happen in real life. Like this one time, I had a dream that I was in a place I had never been before. It was an arcade. I ended up going there several years later, and I recognized it completely even though it was my first time really seeing it."

"One time someone told me that they liked my laugh

"One time someone told me that they liked my laugh," Amaia Frank ('25) said. "They said it looked genuine and that made me feel special because it feels like you're surrounded by robots. Not many people go out of their way to make others feel nice anymore, so it was refreshing when he told me. I expected him to say something negative or that he had mistaken me for someone else. It turns out that he was just being kind."

“I am closest to my mom in my family," Mia Marsh

“I am closest to my mom in my family," Mia Marsh ('26) said. "It has been like that since I was born, I was always a mama’s girl. And to this day, I still am.”

"My favorite age was when I was a toddler," Milos

"My favorite age was when I was a toddler," Milos Spears ('27) said. "I was in the bay area. I loved being in San Jose as a kid because of the nice cool weather and being there with my family.“

“My friends and family bring me peace," Sapphyre

“My friends and family bring me peace," Sapphyre Leung ('26) said. "They just know how to make me smile, laugh, and just put me in a better mood than I already was. They get my mind off of anything else I may have going on in life.”

"My hobbies are playing basketball and listening t

"My hobbies are playing basketball and listening to music!" Kaitlyn Mae Aguilar ('27) said. "I’ve been playing basketball since my family introduced me to it in 3rd grade. Basketball has always been such a great way for me to have fun and show my competitiveness at the same time. And, listening to music has forever been my favorite way to express my emotions. Most, if not all the songs I listen to have some sort of relation to me."

"I’m a Coptic Orthodox Christian. It’s probabl

"I’m a Coptic Orthodox Christian. It’s probably the second biggest religion in Egypt at the moment," Jessica Dawoud ('26) said. "I have different values from the people in America that were born and raised here. I have a different mentality, I value different things. I think family is more important than anything, and just that I have more expectations on myself and my family has more expectations on me because we’re immigrants. I want to be a neurosurgeon. In my culture, there are not a lot of healthcare workers, so being a healthcare worker is valued because then you can go back and help the poor and the people who are sick. "

"There are a few things I really like to spend my

"There are a few things I really like to spend my money on one of them being skincare," Lezli Magana Contreras ('24) said. "I feel like its something that really helps me and its very relaxing at times. Another thing I do like spending money on is drinks whether its coffee or a smoothie sometimes energy drinks to get me through the day."

My favorite person is my best friend, Aimee Marie,

My favorite person is my best friend, Aimee Marie, because she's always been there for me since we were young," Jamie Chu ('25) said. "I've always had her to go to even if things went good or bad for me. If I wanted to escape my reality, she would be the person I would go to. We would experience so many things that people consider 'teenager activities' together and I wouldn’t change anything about it."

"My favorite person would be my older sister," Nat

"My favorite person would be my older sister," Natalie Lara ('25) said. "She’s there for me emotionally and takes me anywhere I want. Plus she buys me food."

“My favorite hobby would definitely be my circus

“My favorite hobby would definitely be my circus and aerialist practice I always look forward to going," Zoey Henson ('25) said. "It's a fun way for me to relax and I get to focus on something I love.”

“My middle name is Trinity. My middle name came

“My middle name is Trinity. My middle name came from my great-grandmother, Trinidad," Ava Tatum ('25) said. "It’s a really beautiful name and it means a lot to me because I didn’t know my great-grandma that much and it makes me feel more connected to her.”

"If I could only eat one food I guess I would eat

"If I could only eat one food I guess I would eat a banana because I heard you can survive on just bananas," Raul Gonzalez ('25) said. "But non-realistically, tamales, but only the ones my mom makes."

"My biggest fear is being unsuccessful," Alexa Abe

"My biggest fear is being unsuccessful," Alexa Abernathy ('25) said. "I don’t want to die without a purpose and I want to do everything for a reason."

"I would probably be a robot because it's the most

"I would probably be a robot because it's the most human-like," Merana Gebremicheal ('25) said. "I wouldn't want to sit around doing nothing. I'd want to be something that would at least be able to move around. In some places there's even robot waitresses so I'd be a robot to be able to at least have a job like that."

"If I could only listen to one music artist or ban

"If I could only listen to one music artist or band for the rest of my life it would definitely have to be One Direction," Collin Chamberlain ('24) said. "I love One Direction so much and I don't even know why. I just always have and I always will."

"From personal experience, my favorite place to be

"From personal experience, my favorite place to be is probably California," Jorja Osburn ('25) said. "I really enjoy going to areas with agriculture and nice scenery to just enjoy while you're there. Places like that are just so full of life and give off some of the best vibes you can experience."

"My favorite song is 'Passing Through' by Kaden Ma

"My favorite song is 'Passing Through' by Kaden MacKay," Christian Eric Llaneza ('24) said. "For me, it’s served as a good reminder that even though time goes by fast, what’s most important is appreciating it. I’ve been listening to it for a year already, and it’s still so resonant with me."

"My favorite board game is Catan," Jaxson McCoy ('

"My favorite board game is Catan," Jaxson McCoy ('24) said. "I really love the strategy needed to win. Another upside to the game is that I am somehow just naturally good at it. It seems that I can just figure out the best route or starting settlements like it’s a piece of cake."

Listening and watching closely to Dr.Breslin’s instruction, junior Iris Kellett prepares to follow her directional guide through to the inside of the cat’s body. The majority of students struggle to ease their emotions, while others see it as a part of strictly scientific procedures. “The cat’s dead already so I’m not very emotional,” Kellett said. “Plus, the teacher is carrying us through the whole process.”

Preparing to bathe their “patient,” junior Christine Wu is working on providing the best care for their future patients. Wong was trying to get a time of 20 minutes or less to finish a bed bath skill on the mannequin. “There are definitely skills I am better at, but I think for all of them you just need to practice,” Wu said. “I feel pretty good about the nursing exam. Ms. Trummel explains well why each skill is important and stresses why its important for the test and real life.”

Pulling from real world inspirations, sophomore Elenarose Telona thinks up new concepts for a society. Telona and her teammates decided to reference their own ethnicities, which made their civilization more personal to them. “Right now were brainstorming ideas,” Telona said. “One of us is Peruvian, one Incas, and Im Filipino, so we named it Phillinca. Then another thing was to find a middle ground where we could place our civilization, so we made it an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. So were thinking of things that already exist and adding them into our civilization.”

Attempting to cool down an Engineering classroom, senior Brandon Pecayo adjusts a small portable fan. Over the past month, the F building has been one of the places on campus that has been the most affected by the AC breakdowns. “The fan in the room definitely makes it more comfortable to work,” Pecayo said. “I like being able to do my work in comfort instead of having to sit in the heat.”

Being new to the school and its policies, freshman Cameron Kefale signs out of the class to use the restroom. He has found these rules to be helpful with shaping school safety. “I think that the bathroom policies are actually pretty good,” Kefale said. “Lets say someone does something bad while they are gone, this rule helps them [staff] know who was in the bathroom at that time.”

Giving advice on an assignment, Jenny Byington interacts with her students. She became a teacher because she loved working with people. “She has made me a better student in a sense,” sophomore Angel Fonseca said. “The way she presents the work and the deadlines on everything is really clear and it helps me manage my other work as well.”

New Year, New Experiences

Looking up to his Pez Candy Dispensers, junior Jaidyn Rogers has been displaying and organizing his collection for the past two years. Rogers has incorporated more rare and limited edition pieces in the past years. “My favorite in my collection is Bugs Bunny wearing a sombrero,” Rogers said. “But I also love my large dispensers as well because they aren’t as common.”
