"I have been collecting stickers for years now and

"I have been collecting stickers for years now and it’s one of my favorite things to collect," Allyson Santana ('25) said. "I get stickers from all kinds of places. One place most people don’t think to look is the thrift store. They sometimes have the most random and vintage/retro stickers and stationery. One of the big things I do with them is decorating basically everything I own. I use them for my pen pal letters and put them on things like notebooks, my phone case, and sketchbooks."

"The original Top Gun changed my life," Aikhann Ca

"The original Top Gun changed my life," Aikhann Casupang ('25) said. "It made me realize sometimes your friends will go away, so I realized I have to spend as much time as I can with my boys now while I still can."

"Over the summer, my family went to France," Ariel

"Over the summer, my family went to France," Arielle Levi-Haim('26) said. "We went to see the Effiel Tower, Noter Dame, the Lourve, and so many other places. Then we drove to the south of France and stayed a few days in the beach area."

"KCon was a really fun and interesting experience,

"KCon was a really fun and interesting experience," Ava Soto ('26) said. "There were tons of artists and influencers there to interact and talk with. There were also a lot of freebies to pick up like skincare samples, bags, and photocards. While KCon was really exciting, it was also one of the most stressful and unorganized events I've ever been to. The staff had no idea what they were doing, and some attendees were rude and wouldn't stop at anything for an interaction. Overall, the positives outnumbered the negatives, and I will definitely be attending next year."

"A vacation that I enjoyed the most during my summ

"A vacation that I enjoyed the most during my summers was when I went to Virginia," Alize Quiroz ('25) said. "I was there to visit extended family, and that’s when I realized I was meant for the East Coast. The weather was great (besides the humidity) and the scenery was beautiful."

“My greatest accomplishment of my life is when I

“My greatest accomplishment of my life is when I built my first computer at the age of 12," Connor Wiggins ('25) said. "After months of saving and selling, I had the funds to purchase and assemble the parts until I made my most powerful connection to the virtual world. Since then, I’ve nearly replaced most of my original hardware these past few years.”

"My earliest memory is very peaceful," Jaden Espen

"My earliest memory is very peaceful," Jaden Espenueva ('26) said. "I was just standing with my mom in like line for a happy meal. I just remember the colors being super vivid and just chilling there."

"I really enjoy collecting minion collectibles," B

"I really enjoy collecting minion collectibles," Bao de Vega ('25) said. "I have always had a fixation with minions as a child growing up and enjoy collecting them. I fantasize sometimes about being a tiny silly minion and spending my day eating bananas and doing silly activities with my other minion pals. In my own personal opinion, my minion plushies keep me safe when I go to sleep at night and are nice to snuggle with."

"One thing that makes my day instantly better is s

"One thing that makes my day instantly better is seeing my friends during school," Ryan Cruz ('26) said. "When I see them, they remind me that I do fit in with people and they cheer me up with all our jokes and stuff. They bring me so much joy."

"My average weekend is typically spent at home wit

"My average weekend is typically spent at home with my family," Alexandria Rury ('25) said. "Catching up on TV shows we watch or going shopping for the week at our local grocery store. On Sundays, we go places with my father, whether that be the mall or the arcade, we go wherever he feels in the moment.

"Something unique about me is I love everything an

"Something unique about me is I love everything and anything matcha," Alyssa Hong ('24) said. "Strawberry Matcha Boba Milk Tea, Matcha crepe cake, Matcha Tiramisu. I LOVE MATCHA."

"If I could choose one superpower, it would be sup

"If I could choose one superpower, it would be super strength," Bianca Tan ('26) said. "The reason is because I love going to the gym, and if I were an old man, and I saw a 15 year old girl lift a whole machine, then I would be impressed. I really want to impress others at the gym. That’s why I would choose super strength."

"I care most about my own opinion," Bilal Raza ('2

"I care most about my own opinion," Bilal Raza ('24) said. "This may be due to me being a narcissist or just because I don’t know anyone else who I see as valuable. All in all, my opinion is final for me, and whatever I believe is basically factual."

“I like to spend my money on experiences and mem

“I like to spend my money on experiences and memories rather than physical things," Ava Nave ('26) said. "For example, I spend a lot of money on concerts. I've been to 7 concerts in the past 2 years, and I feel like it's always worth every penny. At concerts, you forget about everything bad happening outside and get to focus on amazing performances. You also get to make friends with people around you from all over the world.“

"My hero is Captain Underpants," Samuel Stonecyphe

"My hero is Captain Underpants," Samuel Stonecypher ('26) said. "I like the idea of a superhero that is also goofy. It's fun to imagine someone who can save your life and have fun doing it at the same time. I just think the idea is neat."

“My first concert was Katy Perry," Gigi Situ ('2

“My first concert was Katy Perry," Gigi Situ ('26) said. "I enjoyed the concert, and I liked the props she used. But the best concert I have been to was the Keshi concert, and I ended up going because my friend had an extra ticket. My favorite part was being able to see Keshi up close after pushing my way through. My favorite song that he performed was Westside, and I am glad I was able to have this experience with my friends."

"A compliment that made me happy was about my hair

"A compliment that made me happy was about my hair," Eunice Fortun ('27) said. "This makes me happy because I spend a lot of time on my hair, taking good care of it. I've done a lot of research on hair care and styling it so when people notice it, it makes my day. I've also spent a lot of time growing it out since a bad and traumatic haircut in 5th grade but I'm proud of my progress and that's why I get so happy when people like it."

"My passion would be cooking," Maelynn Farrow ('26

"My passion would be cooking," Maelynn Farrow ('26) said. "I first started cooking when I was only 6 years old even though I was only able to make very simple things. Even to this day, I still love to cook, but I am now able to make more advanced dishes."

“My passions are for studying and religion," Jon

“My passions are for studying and religion," Jonathan O’Conner ('26) said. "Since the day I was born, I have attended church, and as a result, I have created a lot of wonderful memories there. I put my all into my studies because I know that doing well now would help me in the future.“

"I turn 18 in two months, and becoming an adult is

"I turn 18 in two months, and becoming an adult is actually hitting me," Eli Fakoya ('24) said. "I am going to have to do taxes on my own, start college, but I am very excited overall. I'm genuinely am filled with so much joy that I can't even be sad about growing up."
