“I love to see some of my old friends,” Xavier

“I love to see some of my old friends,” Xavier Fernandez (‘27) said. “I’m happy to see that our friendships have lasted so long. I had a really fun time this weekend meeting them again at a park, and had a lot of fun hanging out like we used to.”

“The thing that made me interested in baking was

“The thing that made me interested in baking was my Grandma.” Brayden Sachs (‘26) said. “So I’ve carried that on with me into my current life. I like making cookies with and for her, and crafting pastries and desserts.”

“I’ve been playing piano for about three years

“I’ve been playing piano for about three years now,” Lorenzo Hofilena (‘28) said. “I enjoy playing piano because it’s a very distinct instrument and I love the amount of songs you can put together.”

“Deftones is my absolute favorite band,” Khela

“Deftones is my absolute favorite band,” Khelan Norva (‘26) said. “Bringing elements of shoegaze into metal and experimenting with their sound, their music is truly unique. From soft vocals to heavy riffs, what’s not to love?”

“I have a big struggle with heights,” Aaden Es

“I have a big struggle with heights,” Aaden Espinoza (‘27) said. “From high up everything seems so much lower and I always feel like I’m going to fall off. I had to conquer that when I went rock climbing for the first time in my life, I was with my father and I was up high and I was scared I was going to fall, but my father reassured me that I was going to be okay and I was able to conquer that fear.”

“If I could be an animal, I would be a cat becau

“If I could be an animal, I would be a cat because they’re so cute and lazy,” Sophia Ramirez (‘26) said. “I love when cats are so silly and sleepy.”

“I really want to travel to Vietnam because that

“I really want to travel to Vietnam because that is where I was born and I would love to meet my family again,” Ryan Duong (‘25) said. “The food and hearing others’ stories brings me back memories that no one in America would have ever experience and I think that it would be really cool to relive that. When I was a little kid, I remember the noises and the chicken that would always go BOK BOK in the morning and if I have the chance, I would love to hear that again.”

“My favorite thing about Southwest is the people

“My favorite thing about Southwest is the people and the programs,” Plas Borner (‘26) said. “I’m in Multimedia, but now that I am a junior, I get offered the option to do 2D Animation, which is something I would want to do in my adult career. I want to be an animator so I can own an animation studio.”

“My experience at Southwest has been inspiring a

“My experience at Southwest has been inspiring and creatively fulfilling,” Yvanna-Raphael Abarico (‘27) said. “The fashion program has allowed me to develop my skills and explore my passion for design while collaborating with like-minded students and learning from talented teachers.”

“My favorite animal is a dog because they are su

“My favorite animal is a dog because they are super fluffy,”“ Lucas Ledwell (‘27) said. “They are also very smart.”

“I’d say my favorite hobby is listening to mus

“I’d say my favorite hobby is listening to music,” Jarred Maverick Garcia (‘27) said. “It always helps me study and having that calm music in the background to help me focus, especially R&B songs. I think it’s really cool to listen to a music artist express their feelings through songs and I’d sometimes even relate to them.”

“If I could live in any country in the world bes

“If I could live in any country in the world besides the United States, I would choose Switzerland,” Feruth Yemane (‘26) said. “Over the summer, I met a family friend that is from Switzerland and I learned that they’re one of the happiest countries in the world. She told me how it’s very clean there and their schooling system is easy to understand so she actually feels like she gets an effective education. Lots of people from my ethnicity also live there as well so I feel like I would be happy if I were to live there and overall it would open my eyes to a new experience.”

“I’ve always wanted to be either a diplomat or

“I’ve always wanted to be either a diplomat or a lawyer,” Gurnoor Gill (‘26) said. “I want to bring change to the world and be a person who helps out the disaster that is politics right now. I also want to be the first Indian-American woman to do so.”

“My motivation in life is my parents,” Danniel

“My motivation in life is my parents,” Danniel James Madamba (‘27) said. “My parents have sacrificed so much just so I can become successful in every way possible. One way is that they put their entire savings into my college fund since I will be the first person in my family to attend college.”

“My favorite thing about being a Southwest stude

“My favorite thing about being a Southwest student is the little things,” Derek Mondragon (‘25) said. “But what I like the most is just being able to see my friends and being able to learn.”

“If I had to pick between being an introvert or

“If I had to pick between being an introvert or an extrovert, I’d say I embody both traits: an introverted extrovert,” Kenton Nguyen (‘28) said. “While I can be lively and sociable at times, I also experience moments of shyness and timidity.”

“My dad is one of the few inspirations I have. I

“My dad is one of the few inspirations I have. I get a lot of what I want to do when I get older from him,” Hana Abram (‘26) said. “I’ve decided my future goal is to be enlisted into the military and afterwards join the Corrections Department at Metro as my long term career. He really encourages me emotionally and he makes it easy for me to get through academic struggles.”

“My favorite song at the moment is ‘Cowpoke’

“My favorite song at the moment is ‘Cowpoke’ by Colter Walls,” Trinity Boyd (‘26) said. “It reminds me of when I go to Utah and go driving around with my dad in the fields.”

“My favorite item in my fridge has to be the alm

“My favorite item in my fridge has to be the almost empty Simply Lemonade bottle,” Reilly McCullough (‘27) said. “No one in my house has used the last of it for like a week now. It really means a lot to me.”

“My best concert experience was SZA. It was lit.

“My best concert experience was SZA. It was lit. My auntie got me VIP tickets because she runs the tickets over for MGM and I got VIP tickets,” Tyler Phui (‘26) said. “I got to see her super up close and I liked the fact that she played all of my favorite songs, it was just a vibe there with my cousin. SZA is awesome and ever since she dropped Snooze and that SOS album, I started listening to her more. She brings a different type of emotion at her concerts and she can really change the mood of the whole concert with just her voice.”

Placing his ball down, senior Luis De Casas takes a turn at the mini golf course designed like a cannon. The activity provided students a new hands-on experience outside of the classroom. “I’m not at great at golf,” De Casas said. “It’s difficult, especially aiming for a straight shot and just trying to get it to go through. I had fun today though, I got to golf with my friend and the weather’s nice out here.”
