"One thing that instantly makes my day better is s

"One thing that instantly makes my day better is seeing the people I like!" Chloe Rivera ('26) said. "It could honestly mean anyone whether it's my friends or some of the teachers at school. It doesn't even matter if I see them in person, they make me grin no matter what. Even if it's just for a bit, like seeing them pass by in the hallways, saying ‘Hi!!’ gives me a bit more energy."

"One song that will always be on all of my playlis

"One song that will always be on all of my playlists is 'Getting Older' by Billie Eilish," Mason Rafferty ('27) said. "It is one of the songs I most closely relate to. It reminds me to value what I have in the moment rather than focusing more on what I want in the future."

"One thing that instantly makes my day better is a

"One thing that instantly makes my day better is a cute animal video," Ellie Lakatos ('24) said. "My feed is always filled with them, and watching a cute kitten or little puppy do something silly always gets a chuckle out of me. I even have some friends that send me these videos, and I’m always so very grateful to see them."

“Something that brings me peace is music," Dylan

“Something that brings me peace is music," Dylan Sayson ('26) said. "I would say the reason behind this is because it calms my nerves down for whenever I’m stressed. Another reason why music brings me peace is listening to the meaning of songs, I think it’s enjoyable to see the meaning in someone’s music."

“I feel like my favorite compliment is something

“I feel like my favorite compliment is something to do with my eyes," Libby Newbry ('24) said. "It makes me feel like the person is paying attention to me. They’re always so sweet about it and it makes my heart feel warm. Especially when they compare my eye color to something they like, it makes it even sweeter.”

"My favorite music artist is Taylor Swift," Daphne

"My favorite music artist is Taylor Swift," Daphne Vasquez (‘24) said. " My favorite album of hers is definitely Folklore. I think the storytelling is amazing and I like the more singer-songwriter approach compared to more poppy production."

"If I were by myself, I would order takeout," Just

"If I were by myself, I would order takeout," Justin Gu ('24) said. "But if I were with my girlfriend, then I would definitely cook or let her cook. I don’t really know how to cook myself, so I just show my girlfriend recipes that I find, and she always agrees to make them for me."

"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.”
