HUMANS OF SW

“Dead Poets Society is the best movie in the wor

“Dead Poets Society is the best movie in the world,” Allee Lin (‘25) said. “It’s so deep. They don’t make films like that anymore. The cinematography is fantastic, as well as the color grading and the script. I could watch it for hours. The entire plot is fantastic, it’s about someone who just wants to be seen. Close second is 21 Jump Street.”

“My favorite place in the world would be Turks a

“My favorite place in the world would be Turks and Caicos. It’s a great place to go. The water’s beautiful, the food’s nice,” Nicolas Forrester (‘25) said. “You get to see a lot of different things you don’t see in your home city. It was just a beautiful place to go. The last time I went was probably October or November of 2023 and I’m going again for sure when I graduate.”

“I’m really excited to try and get tickets for

“I’m really excited to try and get tickets for a Beabadoobee concert. I got a pre-sale code, and there were like 1700 people waiting in line for tickets,” Leila Mims (‘28) said. “The tickets are really cheap, thankfully, for general admission, but there’s so many people trying to buy it—it’s kind of a war. I’m really excited to see my favorite singer live. It’s like a dream.”

“While becoming a fashion designer is something

“While becoming a fashion designer is something I really want to achieve, I’ve also really wanted to become an actor on Broadway,” Valentina Escobar (‘26) said. “I just really like the idea of singing, dancing, and acting all in one. It seems challenging but also exciting at the same time. Besides, I really like to sing as a hobby.”

“I would pick Attack On Titan because it’s one

“I would pick Attack On Titan because it’s one of my favorite animes in the world!” Lin Johnson (‘25) said. “I love the whole dystopian aspect of surviving against the crazy titans! I also really wanna try the ODM gear for real life! It seems so cool, and to fly and zip through huge forests would be awesome!”

“My dream job as a kid was to be a vet,” Emily

“My dream job as a kid was to be a vet,” Emily Boothe (‘25) said. “Like any kid I changed my mind so many times! But I can say I’ve always stayed within the design realm! My dream job now is to work with social media and graphics for sports teams like VGK, NASCAR, MLB, PBR and more.”

“I got into volleyball from a really close frien

“I got into volleyball from a really close friend that said that I had talent,” Bryan Pratt (‘26) said. “What keeps me going to this day is that my uncle was a really great volleyball player in college and I wanna be like him.”

“The best meal I’ve ever eaten was a Beef Well

“The best meal I’ve ever eaten was a Beef Wellington at Hell’s Kitchen,” Tony Moreno (‘27). “I enjoyed it for its tenderness, juiciness, flavorful mushroom paste, and presentation.”

“I feel like I would never not have something to

“I feel like I would never not have something to do,” Aleeya Atkins-Dowd (‘27) said. “In the way that music is always there. I’m usually bored but I have music and I could just listen to it and vibe. The way certain artists piece together words or beats or soundtracks make the song better. I would say the artist I’m most connected to right now is Tyler The Creator because he’s just himself. There’s people that talk about how weird he is, but he doesn’t care and he just makes music and does whatever. So his music really resonates with me and makes me laugh or feel better when I feel down.”

“My favorite fast food place is Jollibee,” Kal

“My favorite fast food place is Jollibee,” Kalvin Delos Reyes (‘26) said. “I love Jollibee because of their spaghetti and peach pie. Usually, after school, I walk there and enjoy a combo meal. The food is always made quickly and freshly and it’s my favorite.”

“If I could have any superpower, it would be tim

“If I could have any superpower, it would be time manipulation so I could save time and fast forward to tedious situations in the future,” Sihua Lyu (‘26) said. “I could pause time to spend time with my loved ones, such as friends and family. I’d also be able to see what the future holds for me, which could help me make better decisions in general.”

“In 10 years, I hope that I’ll have my bachelo

“In 10 years, I hope that I’ll have my bachelor’s degree in business from Johnson and Wales University, have been to multiple countries studying abroad, and that I’m happy with what I’m doing with my life. In 10 years, I’ll be 27,” Amaia Frank (‘25) said. “Hopefully I would be a home-owner and I would be one of those people who are always hosting so I can keep in contact with all of my friends and family that I don’t see often. By that time, I’d want to have a job and a family that I love and appreciate everyday and take nothing for granted.”

“My favorite artist is Lana Del Rey,” Rylie De

“My favorite artist is Lana Del Rey,” Rylie Dent (‘27) said. “I love her music and her voice.”

“I love Sleep Token because their music is a per

“I love Sleep Token because their music is a perfect mix of chill, emotional vibes and then these super intense, heavy moments that just hit differently,” Ava Baker (‘27) said. “It’s like every song keeps you on your toes, and I’m always so hooked. Plus, the fact that they keep their identities hidden to put the focus on the music rather than looks and fame is admirable.”

“I’d say that my favorite sport to play is Bad

“I’d say that my favorite sport to play is Badminton,” Jenny Nie (‘26) said. “Whenever my cousins visit, we all play it together with me and my sister. It’s really fun.”

“My favorite games are Undertale and DDLC,” Ch

“My favorite games are Undertale and DDLC,” Christian Sumaway (‘28) said. “I love these games because they help me express my love for video games. It also helps me understand problem solving and growth.”

“My favorite after school activity is catching u

“My favorite after school activity is catching up with my friends from other schools since I’m not able to talk with them as much as before,” Elizaheart Sionosa (‘27) said.

One of Corrina Terry’s favorite quotes is, “Th

One of Corrina Terry’s favorite quotes is, “That’s the thing about running: your greatest runs are rarely measured by racing success. They are moments in time when running allows you to see how wonderful your life is.” —Kara Goucher (Kara is an American long-distance runner, author, tv commentator, & podcaster.) “I love running! It clears my mind & it helps me stay in shape,” English Teacher Corinna Terry said. “It brings me joy & helps me let go of sorrow. It’s taught me dedication & perseverance during difficult times.”

“My favorite childhood memory would probably be

“My favorite childhood memory would probably be from before my family and I moved houses,” Janis Phoebe Laconico (‘26) said. “It’s because my dad promised when I was really young that he would build me a tire swing on the tree we had in our backyard, but he never did, and I’m still a little salty about it, but I think it’s a funny memory and I still love my dad and I forgive him.”

“One piece of advice I wish I was given is to ad

“One piece of advice I wish I was given is to advocate more for yourself,” Rebeka Dawit (‘25) said. “Especially when it comes to getting the classes you want to take, because even if you’re scared, at the end of the day it is for your own benefit.”
