Renee Burke, journalism advisor William R. Boone High School 1000 E Kaley St, Orlando, FL 32806 May 20, 2016 Dear Renee Burke, As the school year comes to a close, the HiLights newspaper begins the process to choose a new Editor-In-Chief. I think I am qualified to hold the prestigious position of Editor-In-Chief as I have journalism experience, an intense work ethic and the necessary leadership characteristics needed to guide our staff to success. My journalism career did not start in Journalism One. I was on the Blankner yearbook for two years, before attending Boone. At Blankner, I learned the basic journalism skills, and ever since then I have been developing my skills to become a better journalist everyday. I have also attended the National Scholastic Press Association national conference earlier this year, where I took classes and expanded my knowledge of writing and design, which I have applied to what I do in newspaper. As my first year on staff, I was already given the distinguished position of business manager, where I gained the extra experience of design and the ability to handle a large workload on top of my previously existing deadline. I have attended over five leadership camps, including Rotary Youth Scholarship Awards camp and the Southern Florida Leadership training camp where I have attended numerous workshops and classes where I have learned everything it takes to be a leader in my school. Using the information I learned from the leadership camps, I have become an extremely effective leader. In my time as sophomore class president, sophomore class SGA raised almost two thousand dollars from Kiss The Pig and we started two new successful events on campus. When it comes to newspaper, I work extremely hard to make sure my pages and my stories are well-written, high quality, and interesting to readers. I have accomplished the feat of making five out of the six deadlines, while still making sure all the advertisements get to press on time as well. I come to work on newspaper during lunch everyday and usually stay after school to make sure I do not fall behind, or to help my fellow students. The decision-making process to find a talented, qualified student to help and lead their other students to success can be challenging, but I think I am the best candidate for the role. Though I have attached this cover letter and resume, I feel that an interview would allow me to further explain my interest in this position and why I feel I am qualified. We can meet at your earliest convenience. Thank you for looking over my resume and I hope to meet with you soon. Sincerely, Bridget Hartig Enclosed: resume

self analytical essay

I have always been an overachiever, but in middle school, it was just obnoxious. I signed up for the hardest classes and thought extracurriculars were a waste of my precious study time, but I was still forced to take them. So, I signed up for the extracurricular that would require the most effort, the one I could brag about the most: yearbook. And the rest is history. Well, not exactly. That was the mere beginning. After my two years of middle school yearbook, I picked Journalism one as one of my electives. The class itself was not easy. With all the time the class entailed and hard work it required, some kids were not cut out for it. But for me, every thing we learned and everything we did inspired me to work harder and invoked a creative spark in me. I knew I had to pursue journalism further. Once the applications rolled out, I immediately though I wanted to do yearbook. But then, I evaluated what I wanted to pursue further in journalism, which was writing. So, I chose newspaper. Immediately my first year on newspaper staff, I was given the extremely important role of business manager. I understood what an honor this was, but I didn’t understand the hardships it would cause me. It was hard for me to transition from learning and growing as a student in Journalism One, to working extremely hard and having specific deadlines on staff. On my first few deadlines, I made mistakes as business manager. I was disorganized and didn’t really know what I was doing. But, I took those hardships I had faced and learned from them. I used my rough experiences as a learning tool to make me a better journalist. Teamwork had never been an issue for me. I am a people-person. I love to share ideas and help people. And with newspaper, it was no different. I knew all the staffers were going through the same stress as me, so why not bond over it? I worked as a team with my fellow staffers to support one another, regardless if we worked on any physical pieces or spreads together. My idea of teamwork is creating a group of people who care for each other and have each other’s best interests at heart. In newspaper, I created my team of people who fit that description. I have always loved to write, but I used to always write in my free time, where I could write whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. In newspaper, however, set deadlines kept me from doing just that. I was not used to these type of deadlines and the first few deadlines where a wake-up call to get my act together. Deadlines have become extremely important to me as they add structure to my life. They have taught me that I need to always be prepared and how to manage my time in order to meet them. If one would look for me anywhere after school or during lunch, I will most likely be sitting in Mrs. Burke’s room, working on something for newspaper. My dedication to newspaper is unquestionable, based on the many hours I spend working on designs or writing and how hard I work to make sure the content I produce represents Boone Publications well. I care so deeply about newspaper. My dedication and love for what we do as a newspaper has made me into the journalist I am today, something I am very proud of.

Cheater, cheater (future leader?) rough draft

One day, I was sitting in class, taking a test, and I noticed five separate people around me cheating in different ways. I had always known cheating was an issue, but I had never seen the human element of it. I was up-hauled and knew a story needed to be written about this issue. My â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cheater, cheater (future leader?)â&#x20AC;? front cover story is my most significant work from 2015-2016 school year. This story displayed my growth over the year through my writing ability, my willingness to try new design elements and ability to work under intense pressure. When I first submitted the story card and chose the story as my own, I was immediately taken back as it would be on the front cover of the paper and therefore, very important. I had never felt very confident in my writing or design skills before this issue, so I knew I needed to step it up and work extra hard to make sure the copy was well written and the design was interesting. The issue of cheating is an eternally important issue and it plagues the school system, so I knew the topic had to be covered correctly. Writing the story did not serve as a huge issue for me. Everything went smoothly throughout the writing process. The design, however, was a struggle to create and get approved. Most of the edits that I had to make throughout the editing process came from changing the layout. I wanted to include an info-graphic on the front, something I had never made before, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to work out with the page layout. We added a photo illustration of someone cheating, and moved the info-graphic to the jump, where it seemed to fit perfectly. Throughout creating this story in its entirety, I learned how to create s visually pleasing design and how to write copy that covers the basics and serves as a learning tool for the reader. I was extremely proud of the final piece. The final design of both the front page of the info graphic looked great and called attention. The body copy, I felt, really told a story about cheating and identified how important the issue is. After the print issue came out, I got a lot of compliments about the story. Many teachers were interested in the story I wrote and the facts I stated, including a anonymous poll where 83% of students polled admitted to cheating on homework assignments. The great feedback really made me feel even more confident in my writing and design skills. The story represents me because it showed my growth in writing and design, alongside my ability to create an interesting piece to place on the front cover.

The old adage is that cheaters only hurt themselves, but actually they are hurting you too. On average, cheaters have a 56 percent higher GPA than if they did not cheat, which potentially makes them a better college candidate.

Cheater, cheater (... future leader?)

Students find cheating socially and culturally acceptable By BRIDGET HARTIG “Hey. I found a link to the test. Wanna see it?” “Hey, you got that homework? Can you send a picture of it?” “I found the packet online, do you want me to send the link?” Students cheat and they always have. Cheating has been an issue since the dawn of schools. According to Time Magazine, cheating remains on the rise. The accessibility of the Internet increases one’s risk of academic dishonesty. In Orange County Public Schools, punishment for cheating includes receiving no credit for the assignment, dismissal from honor societies and becoming subject to disciplinary action, including referrals and suspension. Over 11 students this year have gotten referrals from cheating. “When I cheat on a test I am [worried] because getting caught means a referral and it is a bigger deal where homework is more just sharing and ‘using your resources,’” a junior female said. According to the Educational Testing Center, students who cheat often justify what they are doing with the fact that others are also doing it. Students who cheat, according to Fordham University, have an average GPA of 3.41, while noncheater’s average drops to a 2.85. This dramatic difference in grade averages and the added social pressure from teachers, peers and parents to get

into a prestigious college of their choice is the student’s justification for cheating. Cheating peaks in high school with 75 percent of high schoolers surveyed admitting to cheating according to the

Over their careers as Boy Scouts, they can earn their way through seven ranks: Scout, Tenderfoot, Second-class, First-class, Star, Life and Eagle. “A lot of people think it’s just about going camping, starting fires and everything, but it’s really not about

Educational Testing Center. “We have a class discussion a couple times a year about cheating. If someone does something wrong, everyone needs to know what happened and know it is not allowed,” Academy of Finance teacher Bill Daniel said. “Removal of many privileges occur when someone cheats, they don’t get to go on the New York trip as a senior, and I’ve had students leave my program, I take the proactive approach to explain consequences while maintaining fairness.” The commonality of cheating can be attributed to the Internet. Looking up worksheet answers, sending answers to others online and finding test answers on Quizlet becomes effortless with the aid of the Internet. A 2012 Duquesne University study found that the more online resources students used in correlation with their assignment, the more likely the students were to cheat or plagiarize. “It’s easier just to get pictures [of the answers] from people and share their work, plus Quizlet is open to everyone so I don’t feel like it’s cheating,” the junior girl said. When students cheat, it does not occur to them that they might get caught and punished for what they have done. They see fellow students cheating repeatedly and never getting caught, so it gives a false sense of security that they also will not get caught. “When I talk to my friends about when they cheat, they don’t get points taken off because they don’t get caught,” a sophomore female said. “It is extremely hard to prove someone cheated usually, because if it’s the right answer, everyone should be getting that answer. It’s like “Oh. What a coincidence. They got the same right answer.” A U.S. News and World Report survey found 90 percent of students polled did not believe

They can choose to become an Eagle Scout at the end of their career as Boy Scouts. To attain Eagle ranking, the scout must complete 21 merit badges and he must plan, organize, manage and complete a service project.

themselves or other fellow students would get caught, let alone punished, for cheating. “Cheating is so easy to do, it’s really helpful and it gets things done faster,” a sophomore male said. “I cheat on homework like a few times a week. If I ever got caught, I would stop. I would be too scared to cheat again. I don’t think I will ever get caught. I’m not stupid about it.” Cheating has not only become a problem in primary education, but Ivy League schools such as Harvard and Dartmouth have endured cheating scandals. The scandals dented their reputation and forced them to intensify their school’s academic honesty policies. In late 2012, 125 Harvard students were expelled for collaborating on four take home tests. The intensity and magnitude of the case makes it Ivy League’s largest cheating scandal recently. In late 2014, Dartmouth University, found 64 students cheating in a sports ethics class that was meant to help them with their coursework. The students were not failed out of the class or expelled, the professor dropped all the student’s grades by a letter grade. “Cheating is associated with the amount of pressure that students are under,” National Honor Society sponsor Robin Patterson said. “Cheating could have a large impact on the student and one time of cheating could affect the rest of the year.” Teachers use plagiarism checkers like Turnitin. com to check if any students cheated on their assignments. Students turn in electronic copies of essays and projects and the sites analyze the content and produce an originality report. Contrary to popular belief, students do not cheat to enrage teachers or rebel against the school system. As a quick fix to a larger problem, students cheat to get homework done faster or get a high grade without trying too hard. “Cheating is convenient and we live in a convenient society,” Daniel said. “Cheating has always been a big problem. It’s a part of the DNA of schools. Cheating is a habit forming behavior, the path of least resistance.”

The previous benches had fallen apart from age and exposure to the elements and, according to Thompson, needed a makeover. “I looked around for inspiration and thought about it until I saw the condition of the benches over there at the student parking lot. They were in such bad shape and they needed to change so I decided I would do that for my project,” Thompson said. ”My project came out really well in the end. I’m extremely proud of it.” As another recipient of the Eagle ranking, senior Robert Baity worked with Pet Rescue by Judy, a local nonkill animal shelter. He built sunshades so dogs do not get overheated from playing outside in the sun. Prior to earning his Eagle ranking, Baity worked

I chose this picture because it was my favorite shot I took of the girls soccer team. It shows the conflict between the two players and the fight to get the ball. The game that this picture was shot at was a very close game and both teams were evenly matched, so I think this picture also encaptures the essence of the entire game.

Made you look By BRIDGET HARTIG

Three students demonstrate different makeup styles

Trendsetter tactics

The art of going goth Makeup is often thought of as a girly, feminine pastime full of light, champagne colored eyeshadows and blush. In reality, makeup expresses one’s personality in all different ways. Going against the grain, sophomore Savanna Edwards wears gothic makeup while still making the looks wearable. Edwards began working with makeup a year ago, and ever since then, she continues to play with darker lip colors, darker contour colors and smoky eyeshadow shades. “I started out with darker makeup. I have always loved looking at the bold looks and how they work for me,” Edwards said. “I used to be so terrible and I thought I was so good. I practiced so much.” Darker makeup looks intrigued Edwards. She feels deeper reds and purples and warm-toned dark shadows complement her fair skin tone and dark hair color. “I love the way dark-colored colors look with my eyes,” Edwards said. “I love using darker colors, blending a black eyeshadow gives me so much joy. Gothic makeup is really all relative. People wear much darker colors than me, but I think what I wear looks good, so I will continue to wear it because it is my face.” Edwards plans on creating a YouTube channel where she will upload tutorials creating gothic makeup looks to inspire and teach others. “My inspiration is Jaclyn Hill. I see her videos and I love how she does everything. Also, Jeffree Star. They do not care about anything. They do whatever they want,” Edwards said. Edwards hopes to further her makeup skills professionally. She plans on entering the technology program for cosmetology at Valencia, to learn more about makeup.

Edwards’ tips:

As social media’s influence arises, the beauty community online developed. Thousands of people, men and women alike, take to the internet to show their makeup skills, while others learn from them. Senior Morning Baker enjoys learning from the online beauty community about makeup fads to make them her own. Baker started wearing makeup as a gymnast when she was six. Her mother would do dramatic hair and makeup for every meet. With the makeup she had to buy for gymnastics, she started using the makeup outside competitions, incorporating it into her everyday life. “A big part of competing is makeup. I used to love it so much that I would dread taking a shower after I competed, and if my mom would let me, I wouldn’t, so I could have makeup and curly hair the next day,” Baker said. “I watched a lot of makeup tutorials and worked with the makeup my mom bought me. It honestly was a lot of trial and error.” As Baker watched makeup videos online, she started picking up on trends and tips that the beauty gurus would do. Recently, new makeup techniques, like baking, where makeup artists add excess powder to absorb oil and give makeup a smoother look, and contouring, creating depth on the face using browns and grays to fake shadows, have circulated the internet and gained popularity. “I get a lot of inspiration from the tutorials I watch. Those women are amazing at what they do and it really does make me want to better my own skills,” Baker said. “I definitely think society still has some sort of vendetta against women who look different without makeup than they do with it on.”

Dedicated to looking dead As the Head of Makeup for The Addams Family, comedy musical, sophomore Lyla Stricker specializes in theatrical makeup, specifically the art of making people look dead. “I started about five years ago by creating fake scars on my hand. I watched a ton of YouTube videos and got advice from that,” Stricker said. “I initially was just doing regular makeup on myself, but then I saw Two Faced and got inspired to make myself look like that.” The Addams Family makeup team made over 25 of the ancestors look dead and ghostly for showtime. Stricker used gray, black and white body paints, fake blood and gray hair chalk to make the looks more realistic and deadly. “I really like making people look dead. I have a big fascination with dead things,” Stricker said. “I could make someone look hurt and dead without actually hurting them.” Stricker gets inspiration for most of her looks from special effects makeup artist, Ve Neill. Neill judges on FaceOff, a game show where 14 special-effects makeup artists compete in challenges. Neill received three Academy Awards and one Emmy for her makeup. Stricker aspires to enhance her skills to become as talented as Neill. “She brings everything to a new level. She strives to create characters. She gets me excited every day to do makeup,” Stricker said. Even after her experience as Head of Makeup, Stricker continues to improve her skills through researching new makeup tips, practicing and attending makeup workshops. “I’m currently working with an Emmy-awarded makeup artist to do a workshop with him over the summer,” Stricker said “I will work at Halloween Horror Nights.”

Stricker’s tips: 1. Never mix blue eyeshadow with red lipstick. It is never a cute look; it is always tacky. 2. You can never use enough fake blood when trying to make people look dead. 3. Never be weird about the makeup you do. It is art- it is yours; Don’t let anyone judge you for it.

Stricker’s faves: 1. Mehron Latex in Flesh ($19.68) 2. ProAiir face and body paints ($24.89) 3. Mehron Blood ($12.50)

N12. Personality profile

I chose this story to include for competition as a personality profile because it details the stories behind three different girls and the three diffrent types of makeup they do. All three girls have different stories, which both divide the story up and bring it together, as it shows the many different sides of one thing: makeup. I was proud of how the story turned out and how each girl was painted in a different light, and they were not all grouped into one category.

Organic versus Conventional By CARSTON CARASELLA Over the past half decade organic foods have been in the news more often than not, with concerns being about their value compared to less expensive processed items. However, the public need not be concerned, as organic foods are proven to be better for both humans and the environment. Grown and reared without the use of pesticides, Genetically Modified Organisms, or growth steroids, plants and animals can live healthier lives in their natural habitat. This in turn leads to more nutritious food on store shelves, and a healthier society. A lack of information on the subject is stopping people from aligning with organic food. Students do not understand what constitutes as organic and nonorganic food products. For food to be considered organic, it must be raised or grown in a natural environment, free of any pesticides, growth steroids or GMOs. GMOs are genetically altered to produce more fruit or meat that lasts longer and look fresher. While this may seem like a great idea on paper, the effects on the environment and the human body could be deadly. When a crop is genetically altered to withstand sprays used to kill crop-eating bugs, the soil and surrounding plants must adapt to survive the toxins. This leads to the evolution of “superweeds” that resist the herbicides. Once that percent of happens, farmers have to employ students know stronger toxins to combat these evolved weeds. As the strength of what organic the toxins increase, so does the means. risk of those toxins affecting the consumer. Studies conducted by the Center for Disease Control percent of students only eat organic show that even low doses food. of pesticides can increase the risk of brain tumors and certain cancers, like leukemia, lymphoma, breast cancer and prostate cancer in humans. A product is going to grab the consumer’s attention mostly with its taste. People will buy food based off of how delicious the product is. Princeton and The Soil Association’s studies, show that 95 percent of those polled preferred the taste of organic food to its non-organic counterpart. Organic apples were said to be sweeter off the branch, and that their flavor lasted six months longer than apples infused with pesticides and preservatives. What’s more, people prefer grass-fed beef over conventional grain-fed beef. The organic meat contained less fat and held more flavor. The major downside to eating organic is the cost. However, the benefits one receives from watching what they eat far outweighs the cost.

Organic foods are not worth the extra cost, since there are no proven health or taste benefits.

Studies show little to no difference By BRIDGET HARTIG Health and safety concerns with conventional foods are persuading more consumers purchase organic foods. However, studies show these concerns are not accurate. Marketing an apple as “organic” does not change the fact that it is still an apple. Conventionally grown is the process of growing edible food with the aid of synthetic chemicals and Genetically Modified Organisms. The bad reputation of GMO’s is negatively affecting conventional foods. GMOs help speed up the food growing process to increase production for large scale companies who can in return, sell more and feed more people. GMOs, and the conventional foods that contain them, have a perception as being unsafe contrary to studies from Stanford and Huffington Post that show they are as safe and nutritious as organic foods, yet cost less money. A study from 2012, conducted by Stanford University Medical Centre found no clear evidence of any significant health benefits of organic foods, therefore, organic foods and conventional foods are equal. Organic food is 30 percent less likely to have pesticides inside them, but are not guaranteed to be pesticide-free, as pesticides from surrounding farms can taint them through transportation or processing. Scientists from Stanford could not find robust evidence to support the widespread idea that organic foods are percent of students more nutritious than conventional can’t tell a taste foods. They found no consistent difference between organic and differences comparing studies of conventional foods. 223 different foods, including various fruits, vegetables, grains, meats, milk, poultry and eggs. There were percent of students do not make also no fat or protein an effort to eat organic. content differences between conventional and organic foods. They could also not consistently pinpoint specific organic foods that were healthier compared to conventional foods. Organic foods cost consumers more money than conventional foods. Conventional foods are about $1.50 cheaper per day, according to Carey Polis in “Eating Healthy vs. Unhealthy will cost you $550 more per year, study reveals” from the Huffington Post. Spending an extra $1.50 per day on a food option that is not as different to its less expensive counterpart doesn’t make sense. Studies prove organic foods do not taste better or make people healthier. As with all marketing brands, the consumer pays for the label on the same generic product, so “organic” is just a way to brand a fruit or a vegetable. It doesn’t make it any better than conventional foods. An apple is still an apple.

BY CAMILLE KALIS With a record of 19-9 the Lady Braves overcame tough challenges like conquering Bishop Moore and winning district finals. Lady Braves volleyball started the season with a six game winning streak. Ending the season with the girls losing in the regional championship game on Oct. 27 against Apopka. The Lady Braves won their season opener game, 3-1, when they took on the Cypress Creek bears on Aug. 25. The team won their next games against Freedom, 3-0; Winter Park, 3-2. The girls initially did not expect to have success this early in the season. “The season [went] a lot better than everyone expected. We lacked confidence and drive but we were quickly able to overcome that,” junior Nicole Lakman said. Lakman had a personal record of 52 assists in the game against Lake Nona that ended in a loss, 2-3. The Lady Braves won their next game against Olympia, 3-1. Keeping their goals in mind the girls prepared to kill Bishop Moore. “The season [went] well, [the team] met a lot of goals,” senior Jenna Schattauer said. The girls faced one of their most difficult opponents, Bishop Moore on Oct. 2. The match ended in a win for the girls defeating the Hornets in an intense match, 3-2. “[My favorite game was] Bishop Moore. The energy was so powerful and optimistic from the team, coach and fans. I was shocked beyond belief

[when we won] and felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and confidence,” Lakman said. Beating Bishop Moore made an impact on the team. The Lady Braves have not beaten them in nine years until now. “[I’m] very happy to have finally beaten the school that I used to coach. The girls put tremendous pressure on themselves every year. It is nice to get that monkey off our back,” coach Micheal Ladewski said. The Lady Braves won their fourth straight district championship when they defeated the Timber Creek wolves in three games: 27-25, 25-23 and 25-17. Sophomore Erin Carter racked up 19 kills during this match. The team suffered a tough loss in, 2-3 to Apopka in the regional championship on Oct. 27. They ended their season with a second place finish in the Metro Conference. Carter had 20 kills, two blocks and two digs. Lakman had 54 assists, 11 digs and two aces. Junior Sydney Ritten had 12 kills and senior Sarah Chapman added eight kills. Even though they lost the regional championship they still accomplished goals this season. “[We accomplished] communication goals, [the team] could talk things out, figure out what wasn’t working and fix it. It makes us stronger as a team,” Schattauer said. The team is using the loss to their advantage to help push the team work harder in the next season starting next fall. “I think we had a great season. We still won our third district title in a row and our fourth in five years. I’m looking forward to seeing our team grow in the off season,” Coach Ladewski said.

Student experiences German club soccer Cameron Caicedo spent freshman year overseas By BRIDGET HARTIG Instead of getting ready for his freshman year, current sophomore Cameron Caicedo packed all his things and said goodbye to his family. He moved to a whole new country, Germany, to play soccer. His coach at the time, Mike Dillion, invited Caicedo to be an exchange student where he could attend the Elsa Brändström Schule, a German high school, and have to opportunity to play with the German Soccer Federation’s competitive program for young soccer players. Dillion has connections in France and Spain through the exchange program. Dillion’s son had been to Germany with the exchange program when he was around Caicedo’s same age, so Dillion thought it was a perfect fit for Caicedo to expand his soccer skills and make him a better player. Caicedo’s family was very supportive when it came to letting him move overseas for such a long time. They took Caicedo over to Germany several times before to meet the principal of his new school, his new soccer director and his host family that he would be staying with. “We were completely open to letting him move to Germany,” Michael Caicedo, Caicedo’s father, said. “We were somewhat nervous because we did not know how much he was going to be able to adapt to a new environment and family. This would not be just a short trip but a rather prolonged time away from home, but on the other hand a great opportunity to engage a different culture and soccer

education.” Caicedo lived in Cologne, Germany, for seven months with his host family, the Zieglers. He studied core curriculum from America while attempting to learn the German language, alongside practicing soccer daily with his team and competing against other teams in his region. “I got to experience new cultures and integrate really fast and attempt to become fluent and speak with everyone else,” Caicedo said. “I would move back to Germany in a heartbeat,” Caicedo said. ”I will either play soccer there or in America. I’ll go wherever soccer takes me.” Caicedo joined 22 other boys in his same age range of 15 and under at the Jugend- Fußball-Schule Köln, where they finished first in their league and advanced to the first division in the North Rhein Westphalia region. They ended the season 8-1-1. Caicedo was one of three players from Florida, while the majority of their team was from Germany. “I miss my teammates so much,” Caicedo said. “They were all really funny. They all translated for me, they knew English and would always ask me questions about Florida. At first when my German was not very good, they had to explain [things] to me in English so I could understand.” Caicedo was one of over 250,000 American exchange students traveling worldwide. There are both private and public exchange programs, such as the National Student Exchange, International Student Exchange or the Rotary Youth Exchange that allow students to study abroad. “The biggest thing Cameron took away was learning a new language and culture, and becoming independent and

You know when you play with better players you will get better,” Cameron Caicedo said. The team placed first in their league. self-sufficient,” M. Caicedo said. “We would absolutely recommend any player [to] take a great opportunity to play and live in a country like Germany.” Caicedo is now on the junior varsity team where he plays center midfield and striker. He currently has a knee injury that has kept him off the field for three weeks, a hyperextended small muscle from playing with his club team, but hopes to play at the varsity level soon.

what’s mine: body copy I was so used to always writing persuasive or opinion stories before writing this piece. This was my first feature story where editorializing was not allowed. Though it was a struggle at first, it taught me that I do not need to interject my opinion into everything and how to write unbiased. This represents me through writing as it shows mt growth and how I have learned to become a better writer over the year.

what’s mine: design photography secondary coverage body copy This piece was tough to write. I did not know any of the girls on the team or any real background on the team, so it was very hard to find an angle to write the story about. This deadline taught me to always have a plan in mind when writing. I chose this to represent me through writing as though it was not my best piece, it taught me about sports writing and the struggles that come along with it.

SNOWFLAKE COURT VOTING At halftime of the boys basketball game on Jan. 29, the Senior Class will crown a prince an princess. Vote for the Snowflake Court prince and princess Jan. 20-22.

Our biggest weakness is being so young. It’s very competitive, and it is really intimidating for our freshman to be playing seniors. It’s good because they will be able to grow as players. Sarah Aikens, junior

HIGH JUMP. Before the Olympia game, C. Bagozzi, O. Easterling, E. Herb, A. Tamvakis, L. Jackson, J. Gentry-Mickelson, S. Lopez, O. Page, M. Pirino and K. Dingman all high-five each other to get pumped up and ready for the game. “We all are really close,” Easterling said. “We all know that we are really weird and can joke around, but can also be serious when it comes to game time.” The girls won, 3-0.

Players demonstrate potential Girls soccer use new players to their advantage By BRIDGET HARTIG With more freshmen than seniors and only seven returning players, the girls soccer team has found a way to work well with all the new players and have a winning season. Seven of the 20 team members are freshmen. Four of the new additions include Cynthia Bagozzi, Olivia Easterling, Sarah O’Mahony and Elizabeth Herb. These four girls became starters by excelling at their practices and showing their skills during games. “I look for skill, speed, passion, knowledge of the game, and the desire they have to continue to learn and develop into better players,” coach Kimberly Smith said. “The team is new and young so it has been a challenge for everyone to learn how to play together. Team chemistry is a process and it takes time to mature so that the team learns each other’s style of playing individually and learn how to play as one united group.” In the beginning of the season, the girls were not functioning as a team. They did not understand how to work with each other and use everyone’s talents to their advantage, yet. Their only losses, so far, were within the first five games of the season. “Usually it takes a few games and practices for teams to get to know each other and how each individual plays,” junior Jewell GentryMickelson said. “I would say we are still learning that about each other and we have definitely gotten better and better with teamwork and communication throughout the season so far. We came together really quickly.” The team has focused on bonding to help bring them together and help with on-field relationships. They bond through hanging out after practices, talking on long bus rides to away games, team breakfasts, sleepovers and constantly texting in their group chat. “My largest [challenge] this year was getting used to the different people on my team and everyone’s playing style,” Bagozzi said. “Our biggest accomplishment is working so well together as a young and new team. We are very close now and I love playing with everyone. They’re like my sisters.” In their rivalry game against Winter Park on Nov. 9, they lost 2-6. Bagozzi scored both goals, but the team ultimately fell short. According to Gentry-Mickelson, it was because of miscommunication on the field. “It was pretty tough when we lost to them,” Gentry-Mickelson said. “It was one of our early games so we were not a whole as a team yet, and we are still working on [teamwork] to get better.” Winter Park has been a rival since Boone started a girl’s team in 1992. Though not as popular as the rivalry with Edgewater, it is still a strong tradition both schools have. “Our hardest game was Winter Park, they are our biggest rival,” junior Olivia Page said. “It was hard because they didn’t lose any seniors, when we lost most of ours last year. It was an early game, so we hadn’t gotten in our groove yet.” When playing Timber Creek, last year’s district champion, on Nov.

ßquestionanswer Sorymer Lopez, senior What do you think your team’s biggest accomplishment is? I think it’s the fact we are a mostlyfreshman based. For being a new team, we are really awesome. What is your personal goal for the rest of the season? My personal goal is to improve all my flaws throughout all the rest of the games. I want to encourage others, win even more games and have fun.

JUST KICKING IT. In the Nov. 9 game against Winter Park, senior Kathryn Dingman fights for the ball. “My personal goal is to make the most of my last season of soccer by having fun and pushing my team to get better,” Dingman said. The girls lost against Winter Park, 2-6. 9, the girls were able to work in sync to come out with a close win, 2-1. “They are really tough competitors,” Gentry-Mickelson said. “They have strong, fast players that can control the ball really well. We played a tough game against them and won. We were supposed to lose, but we didn’t. It was a nice surprise.” On Dec. 2, the Lady Braves mercy ruled Oak Ridge in the second half, ending 8-0. Sophomores Catherine Demer and Jazmin Adlam; freshman Easterling, Bagozzi and Megan Sterns; and juniors Page and Gentry-Mickelson all scored goals. “Of course whenever you mercy rule someone, it validates you are good players and you have a good team,” Page said. “It gave us some reassurance that we could still compete and we could still beat some of the best teams we have played.” Boone will host the district competition on Jan. 11, 13 and 15. They will play in the semifinal competition in hopes of making it to the quarterfinal and final competition. The girls season record stands at 8-3-1 with games against Lake Howell, The First Academy and Lake Nona in early January. The girl’s next game is away against Lake Howell on Jan. 4 at 6 p.m.

What is your team’s biggest weakness? I don’t think we have a weakness. I think we only make a few errors in games or in practice. Overall, I don’t think we have a weakness other than the beginning of the season when we had basically a fully new team. We work very hard. Describe your relationship with your team. I think we all like to joke around and have fun. As a captain, I really like being a role model and inspire people to be the best they can be and inspire [them] to work harder. How do you think you will do at the district competition? My team won’t stop at anything until the end of districts. Being a new team has taught us so much. The team we started with is completely new now. Having a newer team will help because we have had to work twice as hard and I know we can compete with the best schools in Orlando.

Saigon displays mediocre food Vietnamese restaurant has satisfactory food but awkward atmosphere By BriDGEt hartiG With authentic foods, attentive servers and a large variety of options on the menu, Saigon Noodles and Grille serves as a great place to go out to eat. Saigon boasts a menu of traditional Vietnamese food, which consists of noodles, soups, vegetables and seafood. Listed in Vietnamese, the menu options have English translations, pictures and an explanation of the dish next to the name, which makes choosing food easy. The “Special Combination” soup ($8.75) includes an interesting blend of chicken broth, rice noodles and a variety of seafood. Like all other soups on Saigon’s menu, it also includes fresh bean sprouts, Vietnamese basil, and a hint of lime. But, the amount of noodles outweighs the broth and the crab has a strange, plump texture. The Curry Chicken ($10.95) includes chicken and noodles submerged in yellow curry sauce. The dish, rich in flavors, includes accents of sweet and salty accompanied by hints of cilantro and garlic. Saigon not only serves authentic foods, but also displays different styles of food on their menu. Their fried Chicken Wings, six for $7.65 and 10 for

$10.95, have a crispy flavor with a hint of Asian spice. They altered a classic well-know dish to fit the Vietnamese style of the restaurant. The Pad Thai ($10.95) does not taste like others from different restaurants. It lacked spice, herbs and overall flavor, causing the meal to taste average. The Fried Rice ($8.95) includes a blend of house steamed white rice, sliced onions, scrambled eggs and long, heavy pieces of white chicken. An excessive amount of onions overtake the rest of the dish. The price ranges from $8 to $12 for an entree. The size of the portions and the amount of food served justifies the price. The appetizers divide into two prices, a smaller portion ($3.75) and larger portion ($6.25.) This monetary divide helps customize the meal and the bill, to one’s liking. The exterior of Saigon catches attention with different colored flashing lights. The parking lot surrounding the restaurant has ample free parking, with excess parking next door at Whiskey Lou’s. The restaurant incorporates outdoor seating on the wrap-around porch. In the outdoor space, several tables fit into the small porch making the seating cramped. The interior embodies a peculiar combination of styles. Vivid walls with vibrant posters and miniature colorful

FLaVor FLoP. The Pad Thai ($10.95) features all necessary ingredients to make it a great meal, like peanut sauce, rice noodles, chicken and vegetables, but lacked incredible ﬂavor. “It was really different from normal Pad Thai, but it was still good,” sophomore Carly Meyer said. bonsai trees on each table make the vibe feel whimsical and bright. But, the actual tables, chairs and booths resembled that of a vintage diner or cafeteria. The cafeteria tables show a disconnect to the cultures and liveliness of the decorations. Fluorescent lighting lights up the room, which goes along with the cafeteria feeling. No music plays, which combined with the fluorescent lighting, makes the ambiance seem awkward. The servers quickly sit a group of people, take drink orders and bring

appetizers and entrees to the table. However, the speed of the service moves too quick to keep up with. In the time it took to decide on an appetizer and a main course, the server came around multiple times to check up on the table and get orders. But, the server brings out the check at exactly the right time, just as the meal wraps up. Besides the awkward decor, Saigon Noodles and Grille offers authentic Vietnamese options for justifiable prices, leaving everyone happy and full.

Three students demonstrate different makeup styles

In this story, three smaller feature stories took the place of one large story. I really enjoyed this topic so writing the stories came naturally. The only issue I had was the ability to find three different angles and write to-thepoint stories. This story represents my writing as I captured the three girls I interviewed and displayed them and their skills accurately.

schools nationwide, but not everyone thinks this technological shift is positive. “I don’t like the fact that it makes me distracted. I can’t really focus on screens, and it gives you more leeway to not be focused,” freshman Emily Fussell said. “More kids will be [distracted] on their [devices] when they should be researching.” Other students agree with Fussell that computers allow for more distraction than traditional textbooks. “[Textbooks] help me because I like to underline information and rather learn hands-on than visually,” sophomore Breanna Roberts said. How the traditional classroom environment will change between regular-note taking and homework remains a concern to teachers and students. One change for teachers and students is that technology will transition to mainly an online environment. Instruction can occur on or off campus with technology-rich lessons. “I think students will be apprehensive [of losing a traditional classroom environment] at first, but they will see using programs such as Doceri [program where one can project their screen from a tablet] where I can use a stylus to grid or work out a problem, they will find it easier to duplicate their skills with practice,” math teacher who is on the 1 to 1 training team Jeff Biery said. More concerns come with wireless Internet problems off campus. Students who can not access the Internet from home will face challenges to complete

assignments. However, Bright House Networks offers a $10 per month Internet service for those who have a limited budget. On campus Wi-Fi capabilities are also a concern. Wi-Fi can cause disruptions in class, consumes more time and can often run slow. Dead spots throughout the school also affect web based teaching in classrooms. The current system and equipment is not sufficient. With an expected 3,600 devices schoolwide, struggles with electricity and Internet connectivity are concerns OCPS Facilities intend to address. A major overhaul in April 2016 will improve these problems. Orange County’s Facilities Department said that all schools will see full functionality by August 2016. The goal for this initiative embraces student-driven work and marketability for future occupations. One to one also gives students who do not have technology at home the opportunity to be on the same level as a student who does and will bring learning to a new level. “[One to one] is important because it’ll give opportunity to kids who can not afford computers. They’ll have trouble succeeding in the marketplace without this opportunity,” Biery said. “The thing about 1-to-1 is even if the majority of my students had access to a computer, it wasn’t a guarantee with one or two students. Now I know that every child will have the same technology and the same opportunity. We’ll have a 100 percent possession rate.” 1 to 1 will improve the way students gain access to learning and resources. While not everyone is prepared for the change that a technological classroom will bring, it is fastly approaching as a nationwide agenda.

students also experience medical issues because they are uncomfortable and feel unwelcome, when using either bathroom. “It has become an issue so much that people will stop using the restroom. I know friends that don’t use the restroom so much that they sit in school having to pee and get UTIs,” Hill said. Although students accept sharing a restroom with someone who is not completely transitioned, others feel uncomfortable I want the when a student may not right to feel biologically be the same safe while gender as them. “I would personally be I go to the offended, as they would bathroom. be offended for not being allowed [to use the restroom It’s a basic or locker room],” freshman human right. Caroline Casola said. “I Shelby “Alex” Hill would be uncomfortable junior because while they may not transgender male

be attracted to me, they still have a different part.” This public predisposition tends to isolate transgender students and deprive them of their basic rights, guaranteed by Title IX, which prohibits any form of gender discrimination, including transgender individuals, in federally funded programs, such as public high schools. “We need to be protected in our own basic right because at this point it’s not marriage or ‘I want extra privileges’. No, it’s ‘I want the right to feel safe while I go to the bathroom.’ It’s a basic human right. It’s a bigger issue for me to pee than it is for people to stop bullying [me],” Hill said. A similar controversy arose in Missouri when a senior male identified as a female and used female facilities, even though a gender-neutral facility was available. She believed she deserved equal treatment and rights as the other girls at the school. This enraged certain students who then organized a walkout. The transgender student and

her supporters then organized a rally in response. The outcome of this controversy remains unclear, as the Hillsboro School District’s policies against gender discrimination do not include transgender individuals. Although students may not agree on how to handle this situation, they agree that this topic deserves discussion and gender-neutral restrooms may serve as a common-ground. “I think it’s important to [address gender neutral restrooms] because it’s becoming a hot topic. It’s prominent now,” junior Jason Patrick said. While transgender students would prefer to use the restroom they identify with without the risk of mockery or harassment, they believe, gender-neutral restrooms advance society towards a step in the right direction. Additionally, any student may use genderneutral restrooms, preventing transgender individuals from feeling isolated. However, the addition of these facilities on any OCPS campuses remains unclear. “It’s hard to predict [when these restrooms will be instituted],” OCPS Board Chairman Bill Sublette said. “Something that might cause a change is if we saw an overwhelming of public demand.” Although there are transgender and genderfluid students on this campus and other campuses in OCPS, gender-neutral restrooms are not getting any attention due to a lack of voice and public demand. Transgender students do not have the support to gain pertinence. “They’re not the ones feeling any pain by this. We’re the ones that are feeling [it.] If they could live a day in our shoes, I think they would be fighting just as hard for bathrooms, at the least. In this school especially,” Hill said. Until the general public demonstrates their desire for change, OCPS will not start discussing this issue or its potential funding.

Summer jobs teach skills Students can learn new skills and earn money through jobs By BRIDGET HARTIG Commonly known for relaxation and free time, summer provides an opportunity for students to get a job to make and save money. According to education.com, the benefits of getting a summer job can be both financial and attractive to colleges. Colleges like students getting jobs that further their academic interests. Depending on the amount of time one works and one’s hourly pay, students can earn money to pay for their expenses, like going out to eat. “I think students should get summer jobs. It teaches responsibility as an independent person,” Einstein Bagels manager Cammie Himsburg said. “They start to make their own money and decide what to do with it, which also shows responsibility.” The most common times for a teenager, age 16 to 19, to get a job falls within the months of May to September. Teen employment reached an all time low, dropping 20 percent in the last 20 years, according to Pew Research Center. The food industry and retail hold the most common types of summer jobs, but local companies provide options of what students can do. Jobs include tutoring, housekeeping, yard work and nannying, all of which can pay around $9-$20 an hour. “In general, I think restaurants and retail are much easier jobs to get and keep,” Himsburg said. “If you make mistake at Einstein Bagels, it’s only a bagel and it can be fixed. In an office, it’s a bigger deal when you mess up.” The time commitment of a job depends on where one works. During the school year, the interference with school causes students to work less often and for fewer hours. But over the summer, students can work longer shifts more often, as less events get in the way of their work schedule. “My job doesn’t really affect my social schedule,” sophomore Tai Nguyen, Chipotle employee, said. “[My job] won’t affect my summer, it

Working on both taking orders on the headset and preparing a customer’s drink, junior Jonathan Long demonstrates his skills at Chick-fil-A. “I usually work the front counter, working the headset is so stressful,” Long said. “I pick up extra shifts if I have the time. I never really get tired of working. ” Long works around 30 hours a week, five days a week to help pay for his car insurance. will be a necessary part of it.” According to quintcareers.com, the best way for teenagers to find jobs entails going to the place where one would like to work and speaking to a manager directly. Knowing an employee who works there already helps, as it puts in a good word throughout the interview and selection process. “My friend’s dad is the owner of Chick-fil-A, that’s how I got the job I have now,” senior Lucille LaRegina said. “Make sure you really want the job. Don’t take anything for granted.” When writing a resume, Princeton University career services recommends highlighting awards and leadership positions to show why one would excel in this job. They also recommend creating a resume using fonts like Times New Roman and standard font sizes, like 10 or 12 point. “When hiring someone, I look for longevity in a job beforehand. If this is

the first time getting a job, I look for extracurriculars, something that shows leadership and the ability to work well with others,” Himsburg said. When submitting an application and resume, Himsburg says the biggest mistakes students make consist of not introducing themselves to the manager, not being prepared and not expecting to have an interview immediately. During the interview, some of the most important factors when choosing a potential employee include punctuality and first impressions. Employers say lack of enthusiasm, when interviewing people, becomes a turn off. “Be honest when interviewing,” senior Alina Rivera-Campo, Hollister employee, said. “Remember to smile and be polite to everyone you speak to before, during and after the interview.” As a school year ends, the journey to find a summer job begins. Research, be polite and be willing to work unpopular days and times to get hired.

Boys struggle to keep consistency Volleyball team uses experience to compete By CASSADY QUINTANA Although stacked with experienced upperclassmen, the boys volleyball team lacked consistency to pull out wins during the season. “[Our main weakness is] we have moments where someone does something wrong and the team breaks down,” freshman Douglas Page said. The boys started strong with two wins against Dr. Phillips and East River both in three matches. Shortly after, the team competed in the Orlando Sports Center tournament where they lost the first three games and won the last two, finishing, 2-3. After the tournament, the team alternated games exchanging wins for losses, struggling to keep consistency. “It’s hard to keep consistency when we don’t have a full team. Someone is always getting hurt. So we adjust and play our very best,” senior Cameron Sexton said. Clashing personalities contribute to a lack of communication resulting in missed opportunities and lost matches. Tough matches lost in five games against Lake Nona and Winter Park helped motivate the team to come back stronger for the next match. On April 14, the boys faced Winter

Park and lost three sets to two. Falling in the first set, they came back and won the second and third. The Wildcats ended the match winning the fourth and fifth set to take the game. After losing to Winter Park and Freedom, the boys bounced back and won the next two games against Lake Highland and West Orange. “We put aside the issues we have off the court and come together as one when [we are] on the court and need to win,” junior Daniel Hermida said. Considering the maturity of the team, the overall strong talent can sometimes lead to rookie mistakes. “Our biggest weakness is our talent. We are a talented team. Sometimes we aren’t challenged which leads to making mistakes during easier matches that we wouldn’t usually make against harder teams,” coach Gregory Kaplan said. During practice, the boys work on their personal skills to help contribute to their area of play. After a defeat, Kaplan and the team reflect on their mistakes and work to improve themselves for their next opponent by working hard at the next practice on their technique and skill. At practice, the boys split up into their individual positions and practice. The boys prepare before each game by listening to music and getting hyped and hanging out before. To stay

motivated during the game, they meet at the center of the court to congratulate one another on solid plays. “[When you score] it’s one of the best feelings because you know you didn’t do it by yourself. You had your teammates around to help you,” Hermida said. The boys average 9.7 kills per set, 10.4 digs per set and 2.3 aces per set, all above the national average. The boys succeeded in a better record than the previous year where they finished, 8-13. “The expectation at the beginning of the year was to be better than last year. We have all gotten better and grown as players,” senior Jon Bartelt said. Critical district wins against Cypress Creek and Colonial advanced the team into district tournament play in hopes of winning a championship trophy. “My expectations for the team are to make districts. We are working hard during practice to achieve this goal. We work on the areas that we were weak in the match before, and work on refining technique to improve our overall game,” Kaplan said. On Tuesday, April 26, the team competed against Winter Park in the District semifinal and won three sets to one. Advancing to the championship, they lost, 3-1, to Timber Creek and finished the year, 13-11.

WHAT A CATCH. As he catches the ball, sophomore Jack Reddeck races to the Lake Nona goal. “A lot of guys who don’t usually contribute did and it was another win under our belt,” Reddeck said. The boys won 17-1 with Reddeck scoring two goals and having two assists during the game.

By JULIA CONDES Currently holding a 4-3 record, the boys lacrosse team works to achieve its goal of a 3-peat win in its metro competition. Beginning the season with a triumphant win, 10-9, over the West Orange Warriors, the boys advanced their victories, defeating Seminole, 9-8, and Lake Nona, 17-1. “[The West Orange game] was fun and stressful. It was very intense; it came down to the wire and we pulled it out and won in the end,” defense midfielder Luke Magley, senior, said. Despite being in a good position, the team still has obstacles to overcome, such as playing quality teams Timber Creek (7-2) and Winter Park (7-4). “Right now our biggest concern is limiting penalties and not being let down by a game that we should have won [but did not],” coach Elliott Whitton said. In spite of these concerns, Whitton hopes to continue to build the team’s strengths in working well together. “Everybody works well together, it’s not one person running the show. Player-wise, everybody contributing understands his role on the team, whether it’s a backup role or a starter or

Mitchell Capps, senior a transitional special teams,” Whitton said. “Sometimes we, as a team, the coaching staff and players, try to figure out what’s the best strategy. It’s kind of a problem solving atmosphere when you try and prepare for other teams.” The boys’ strengths include being able to work as a unit and giving their best efforts in practice. “[I want to] help the team get to where we need to be by hopefully scoring and assisting more,” defensive midfielder Colin Kelly, sophomore, said. As the team continues to improve, it faced its first loss on Feb. 23 against Bishop Moore, 9-12, after a hard fought game. “I’ve heard great advice that goes, ‘Don’t let one loss turn into two losses.’ There will be disappointing games, I tell the kids, where we’re not

going to play 100 percent, and we’re not going to win every game, it just mathematically doesn’t happen much,” Whitton said. “In 16 years, I’ve had very few games where we have won every single game we’re supposed to.” As the team advances farther into the season, it continues to work toward its main goal of achieving a 3-peat as district champions. “We have a lot of potential for this season,” Magley said. “We have a great team and as long as we stay focused and try our best, we will succeed.” Although the team has had three losses, the second to Hagerty on Feb. 25, 5-6, and the third to Dr. Phillips on March 1, 7-15, the boys continue to evaluate their play and learn from their mistakes. “Lou Holtz said, ‘You have 24 hours to mope about a loss, you can worry about that loss and let it bother you for 24 hours and then mentally turn it off’,” Whitton said. The night after the Dr. Phillips game, the boys bounced back with a win over East River, 19-3, on March 2. “It’s a really great feeling to know that I am a part of a winning team,” midfielder Jaiden Corrente Carret, sophomore, said. The team’s next game is away tonight at 7:30 against the University Cougars.

Girls Nation participant met President Barack Obama By MARISA MUHART Being one of two delegates chosen from Florida to attend Girls Nation, senior Isabella Braga met and talked to President Barack Obama. “[He was so] personable, kind and tall,” Braga said. “It was exhilarating.” Braga attended Girls State which gave her the chance to participate in Girls Nation. To participate in Girls State, girls must have completed their junior year in high school, have an interest in government, and demonstrate scholastic achievement. The American Legion Auxiliary runs Girls Nation to teach girls around the country about the federal government and gives them first-hand insight on how it works. To be selected, every girl must write a federal bill, take a government test and be interviewed. The state chooses two delegates to represent the state’s government. “They aren’t looking for a political junky, that just happened to be who I am. They are looking for the renaissance girl,” Braga said. The girls spent a week participating in legislative sessions, creating bills and making a mock legislation. They also visited monuments and took a private tour of the White House. The girls even got a chance to meet President Barack Obama during the experience. Braga knew that she was going to meet President Obama at Girls Nation, but she did not know how she would feel in the actual moment. “I was gearing myself up to fail. It was such an anxiety,” Braga said. The anticipation built as Braga waited a long time to meet President Barack Obama. “They put us all in a room and then they made us wait for like 30 minutes. Every time someone would walk in the room we would all scream in excitement,” Braga said.

GRADUATION PRACTICE

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEXICAN RESTAURANT?

Graduation practice is Friday, May 20, at 1 p.m. at UCF’s CFE arena. Seniors will leave after their fifth period exam to get to practice on time.

Chipotle; the service is always nice and it looks pretty clean. [In a Mexican restaurant] I look for great ambiance and culture. Ellice Perry, freshman

Verde serves an average experience Local Mexican restaurant provides mediocre meals By JULIA CONDES Upon entering Verde Cantina, a fledgling, unnoticeable restaurant located on North Summerlin Avenue, a friendly hostess arrives and quickly guides restaurant-goers to tables, distributing menus with a smile. A waitress quickly brings chips and salsa to the table and remains attentive for the rest of the night without being overbearing. At the end of the night, though, an unexpected fee for the chips and salsa surprises the table. Rather than being complementary like at most Mexican restaurants, the tab for the chips is split among the table. The food itself did not impress our group. The Mexican rice, served as a side along with refried beans, lacks flavor from nonexistent herbs and spices with a mushy consistency that makes it almost slimy. The refried beans, a delicious dish with a homemade taste complements another side dish, a salty, light and refreshing guacamole. The main dishes originate from a purely Mexican palate, no Tex-Mex fusion or other such mixture of Latin inspired dishes infused with another cultural style exist on the menu, as is typical at more up and coming Latin restaurants. Instead, Verde

stays traditional in this respect and a wide selection of tacos, burritos and quesadillas are offered on the menu. While not bad and definitely palatable, the food remains unmemorable. The gulf shrimp tacos ($14) lack originality as the dish has no distinct sauce nor any creative spices or garnishes. While the shrimp itself is not extraordinary, the coleslaw and sauce provide the dishes’ umami flavor and crunchy texture. The chicken tacos ($8) have an unlikeable ratio of chicken to lettuce, cheese and tomatoes. The chicken is overcooked, making it difficult to chew and swallow. The fish a la Veracruz ($18 or current market price), a delicious and nicely arranged dish, presents itself as the best option on the menu as it is an entire fried red snapper covered in tangy green olives, capers and onions. The el gringo ($12) a burrito consists of ground beef, lettuce and a slight spice from the pico de gallo and a monterey jack cheese. However, the spice overwhelms the beef and cilantro flavors. The burrito is not meant to be hand-held but becomes messy when cut and is completely drenched in a sticky and lackluster sauce on the outside. The chicken burrito ($11), like the el gringo is similar in structure. Although not made for handheld consumption it falls apart and becomes sloppy when trying to cut it and eat it with a knife

On the outside, a monterey jack-like sauce covers and moistens the burrito, but the inside is dry. The restaurant’s atmosphere lacks an appealing feel. The paint ranges from a dull yellow to a boring black or dark grey. The warm lighting, on the other hand provides an intimate feel and the wall decor consists of eye-catching pieces, namely car hoods painted to depict women with skulls for heads. Despite the few quality dishes, Verde still lacks in freshness as a new Mexican restaurant, standing out as neither the

best nor the worst, simply existing as average. And, although attempting to provide an authentic Mexican vibe, the sense of being transported to a true Mexican cantina is distinctly lacking with seemingly half-hearted wall paint and few decorations apart from the car hoods. One instead remains in an overpriced restaurant on Summerlin Avenue with few standout dishes. Though the restaurant’s tagline is “Mexican Soul Food,” it hardly lives up to this phrasing, with practically unidentifiable soul.

TEENS FOR JEANS

WHAT GOALS DOES THE TEAM HAVE FOR THIS SEASON?

The Freshmen Class is hosting a Teens for Jeans fundraiser for homeless teenagers in the United States. Students can drop off their gently-used jeans to their first period teachers from Jan. 4 until Jan. 15.

Phillip Crowe, senior

Our main goal is to win [the district game] because we haven’t won [it] in the past so we want to break the losing streak.

Team fights for redemption #the411

Boys strive to improve weak previous season

Apopka:

By JULIA CONDES In the previous season, the boys soccer team had a 1-11-3 record, a major hurdle the team wants to improve. “Last year we had a pretty rough year, we had 10 new players on the varsity level, the season definitely didn’t go how we wanted it to go. So, improving upon that record and getting into [the] district final would be my first main goal for the team,” coach Brian Sherman said. Standing at 3-6-2, the boys are meeting their goal of a better record by striving to improve their performance on the field and to have a favorable position come playoff time. “This year we have seven seniors on the team and I also think we have a very strong nucleus behind those seniors,” Sherman said. Hoping to stimulate improvement, Sherman says he challenges the boys by making sure that they have a difficult game schedule for the season. “I made the schedule very tough on my guys so that at the end of the season when the games truly mattered they’d be ready for those games. We don’t have any easy games on our schedule that we can just sort of walk through,” Sherman said. One of the team’s difficulties has been communicating on the field, despite their close relationship off of it. Sherman has changed players positions to see how they work together and to try and generate improvements on the field. “Yeah, we’re friends, but we don’t really play with each other, so we have to get used to playing with each other and work harder to do what needs to be done,” midfielder Hunter Reddick, junior, said. The boys faced several tough losses early in the season. In their first match, Nov. 2, they lost to Dr. Phillips, 1-2. “[I was] very disappointed. They scored in the last few minutes. I guess we just fell asleep a little bit, we definitely should have won. They weren’t as good as everyone said they were and we played a lot better than they did,” forward and midfielder Matthew Barr, junior, said. Defensive mistakes are part of the team’s struggle on the field. According to Barr, once their opponent scores, the boys morale decreases, making it harder for them to continue the game with optimism. Yet, when they communicate and play well, they play really well. On Nov. 3, they crushed the Lake Highland Highlanders, 6-1. “When we beat them I felt really confident,” midfielder Emmanuel Ramirez, freshman, said. “It made me realize we had some great players on the team.” In their first home game, Nov. 30, the team tied Apopka, 1-1. Scoring the first goal early in the first half, the boys were confident in their ability to win. “I felt like we should have won that match,” Ramirez said. “We were playing way better, but I guess we just got overly confident.” The boys second win was against Colonial, Dec. 12. Crushing the Grenadiers, 7-1. The large victory margin increased the boys confidence in their abilities. “We were really prepared and fired up for the game,” Barr said. “We were ready to win after so many losses.” Sherman’s coaching philosophy reflects on the field. A term he says he uses is “kill the opponent with kindness.” “The reason why I say that is don’t get up yelling at anybody, don’t get up yelling at the referee. If you go up and say, ‘Hey, thank you,’ or ‘Hey, good play,’ whatever it is, the other guy is going to be like ‘What?’ You know, it’s going to throw them off, so kill them with kindness, that’s my best

He scored the only goal for Boone that night, tying with Apopka, 1-1. way to go about it,” Sherman said. After a game, particularly a loss, senior Nicolas Gonzalez and Reddick, captains, send the team encouraging messages. This helps the boys stay motivated for the next game. “The captains really encourage us,” Barr said. “It helps me keep my head up and not get down because of mistakes.” Already beating their record from the previous season, the team looks forward to every game. Each loss has helped them learn how to communicate and play as a team. “No matter what, we always turn [a mistake] into a positive,” Sherman said. “It’s always a building block moving forward into the next game.” The boys play Bishop Moore at home Jan. 4, 6:30 p.m.

FLING IT. Swinging the discus wide, junior Viktoria Pringle keeps her eyes on her target. “[Discus] takes my mind off of things; any stress or any bad feelings fly away with the disc,” Pringle said. She placed fourth in the Brian Jaeger Elite Classic on March 12, throwing 93 feet.

DISTANCE

By JESSIE JALCA Sweat pours down their backs, but the track athletes do not stop until they finish their sets. They are completely immersed in their event, trying to improve themselves and the team. According to coach Jerry Williams, every member on the team strives to get better together. “We have strong senior leadership and a strong coaching staff. We work and train as a cohesive unit, knowing that if one area struggles, another will try to pick it up,” Coach Williams said. The focus on being a team improved since last year; the team expanded so that it competes in every event, from hurdles to pole vault, allowing it to earn more points. “Track isn’t an easy sport to just do, so I’m most proud of my teammates and I for growing and improving as a whole to where we started winning meets and putting Boone on the map,” senior Jordan Crawford said. So far, the girls placed fourth with 74 points and fifth with 59 points in the Metro Championship and FHSAA 4A District 4, respectively. Sophomores Destiny Caraballo and Jae Crawford, in particular, remain consistent throughout the season. Caraballo sprinted her way to third place in the Metro Championship girls 100-meter dash and third in the FHSAA Girls 100-meter dash varsity. Jae Crawford dominated her events, placing first in the Metro Championship girls shot put and girls discus throw, then again in the FHSAA girls shot put varsity. Despite Jae Crawford and Caraballo’s success, seasoned returners do not settle for standing in their shadow. Senior Jordan Crawford placed sixth in the Metro Championship girls 300-meter hurdles and again in the FHSAA 300-meter dash varsity. “The only thing I regret would probably be the confidence that I was lacking coming into some of my races,” Jordan Crawford said. Senior Madison Henderson, the team’s only girl training in high jump, placed second in the FHSAA girls high jump. The boys’ team also improved since last year. It accumulated 59 points in the Metro Championship 2016, placing sixth. Senior field athletes Colby Ritten and Robert Strange placed second and fifth, respectively, in boys shot put. In boys discus throw, Ritten placed second. Strange placed sixth in boys pole vault. On the track, junior Spenser Blake placed fourth in the boys 1600-meter run and second in the boys 3200-meter run. Freshman Anson Alexander placed 16th in the boys 400-meter dash preliminaries. Although he did not advance to finals, it was a good start, according to

ONE STEP AT A TIME. At the Sanford-Seminole Open on Feb. 20, junior Jewell Gentry-Mickelson and sophomore Destiny Caraballo run the 100-meter dash. “[I enjoy] the feeling of freedom that you have with [running],” Gentry-Mickelson said. Gentry-Mickelson placed fifth at 12.60 seconds and Caraballo ranked 10th at 12.99 seconds.

Coach Williams. “Anson Alexander is loaded with potential and will definitely be a champion in this sport,” Coach Williams said. “His height and running ability will be a force in the upcoming season.” Later, in the FHSAA 4A District 4, the boys placed sixth, tallying 42 points. Strange competed in the boys high jump varsity, placing ninth, and in the boys shot put varsity, placing eighth. Ritten placed sixth in the boys discus throw varsity and third in boys shot put varsity. In the boys 1600-meter run, Blake placed second. The growing and improving did not come effortlessly, but the boys learned to push through. “I don’t have a ceiling. I can always throw farther and jump higher,” Strange said. Between the two teams, three school records were broken. Junior Jogimio Faustin ran the 300-meter hurdle in 40.80 seconds. Junior Jessica Dolan ran the 600-meter run in 1:48 minutes. Jordan Crawford ran the 300-meter dash in 43.70 seconds. “[We have had] a fantastic season,” Coach Darcy Jeffers said. “Their times have improved all season. The kids had fun, worked hard and came out each meet and competed.” Despite the improvement, Jae Crawford was the sole state qualifier. She competed in shot put on Friday, May 6 at the IMG Academy in Bradenton. She placed fourth in shotput. Next year, the teams hope to send more athletes to the FHSAA State Championship.

carbon dioxide concentrations, do appear to be higher today than at any time during the past 650,000 years. Carbon dioxide concentrations have reached about 35 percent higher than before the Industrial Revolution. Agriculture and deforestation contribute as well. Other factors of climate change include electricity, businesses, homes, industry buildings and transportation, according to a United States Environmental Protection Agency study in 2013. The EPA aims to help protect the health and well being of humans. They help enforce and regulate Congress approved environmental laws. “If we don’t take action soon then it really is going to keep snowballing and it’s just going to get worse and worse and by the time that we start to recognize it, it’s going to be way out of our hands,” freshman Ariana Rovira said. The effects of climate change are far reaching. By 2050, two thirds of polar bears will disappear, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The melting ice caps, have decreased the polar bears’ seal hunting season by nearly three weeks. The remaining ice caps prove farther from shore now, making it harder for the polar bears to reach safely. Greenland loses more ice than it gains in snowfall each year. Biologists found four drowned polar bears in the Beaufort Sea in 2004, and believe the actual number of drowned bears to be greater. Not only does the limited food affect the bears, it also affects fish and seals. Fish tend to reproduce near ice caps, or where seals get their food. With the reduction of ice caps, there

are less fish for seals to eat and thus less seals for polar bears to eat, creating a chain reaction in the ecological system. Since 1880, the earth’s average temperature increased by about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit, with two thirds of that amount occurring since 1975. NASA expects the temperature to rise as much as 11.5 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century. The increased temperatures contribute to polar ice caps melting which leads to the rising of sea levels. The rising sea levels then lead to stronger and more frequent storms, additional rainfall, flooding, increase in wildfires and heat waves. “Climate change is a big issue because if affects so many different aspects of our daily life. It has a cultural effect because people are displaced from their native land. It has a business effect because of the economic impact. It has a political effect because our government has to get involved,” Maccarone said. In Florida, the ecosystem feels the effects. The shorelines are eroding, coral reefs are dying, saltwater is intruding into the freshwater aquifer, the number of forest fires is increasing and air and sea surface temperatures are rising. In about 100 years, Florida’s average temperature will increase between four and 10 degrees Fahrenheit, with the summer heat index between eight and 15 degrees, rainfall will become more

Because sea levels are rising due to melting glaciers, Florida could eventually be underwater. More species will go extinct, our oceans will become even more acidic, we will see more extreme weather like droughts and floods,” Maccarone said.

BRAVE AID

DO YOU THINK COLLEGE TUITION SHOULD BE FREE?

The 31st annual Brave Aid is Jan. 22. Tickets cost $5 at the door and the show starts at 6 p.m. Proceeds go to Honor Flight, a charity that provides veterans the chance to see the D.C. memorial.

Free the fee viewpoint

By CARLY MEYER In the last 10 years college prices rose by 3.4 percent. The menacing and glooming price of college tuition remains a financial problem. The recession came to an end, however over half of Americans remain unprepared for financial emergencies, and a third of those Americans have no savings for things like college tuition. Over half either spend more than they make or break even, according to the Pew Charitable Trusts. With people in debt and students that deserve to go to college, tuition should be free, as it would benefit all. Eighteen million students go to college, but 32 percent of high school graduates do not and of those who do attend college, about 43 percent attend community college, generally a less expensive option, according to The Bureau of Labor Statistics. Eighty percent of students pay for college without support of their parents because of the recent recession, or their grades were not good enough to earn scholarships, or they support themselves, according to CNBC. College tuition should be free because denying a student the right to education is unethical. If a student academically qualifies for college, but cannot afford to pay the tuition fee the college charges, it seems inappropriate to limit their education because they cannot afford it. Being an intelligent candidate holds more potential weight to getting an education than the financial ability to pay. The Declaration of Independence itself states that everyone deserves the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. All people deserve the right to go to college and learn so they can make

a living and pursue a happy, healthy and successful life. Knowledge is an effective way to secure employment and decrease crime rates. The unemployment rate for those who earn less than a high school degree is 19 percent. The unemployment rate for those with at least a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree is less than half of that, seven percent, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Higher unemployment rates historically lead to higher poverty and crime rates. A report from the Alliance for Excellent Education links lower levels of educational attainment with higher rates of arrests and incarceration. Fifty six percent of federal inmates and 67 percent of inmates in state prisons did not complete high school, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice. If college education became affordable, surely these statistics would decrease. The future depends on ensuring that quality education continues and becomes available to as many people as possible. Having more educated people in the world benefits all. If colleges instituted free tuition, students who live

with difficult financial situations, yet own the ambition and knowledge to become future leaders in science, math, politics, technology, medicine and more, would then have the opportunity to contribute to society in a way they potentially would not have otherwise. This ensures higher quality of life and the progression of the human race. Critics argue that this is unrealistic and too expensive. However, other countries already implement free college tuition. Europe is well known for colleges that offer free tuition such as Lund University, Holmstad University, Uppsala University and Stockholm University. Lund and Holmstad University have strong science and health fields, and Uppsala University is well known for itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technology. Europeans pay a 54.9 percent tax rate to afford free colleges and healthcare, and since this number is completely unreasonable for Americans, we could implement a similar and cheaper system. If a free college tuition plan is ever approved, it will not only be better for students, but better for this generation, and generations to come.

In this advertisement, I was given a business card to work off. Originally, I though I could just scan the card to make it easier for myself, that plan did not work as the business card was not scan-able. There were too many problems with scanning the business card, so I redesigned the best that I could. This represents my design skills as it showed, though there were hardships, I still manged to create an advertisement that the advertiser liked.

After six years of failing to finish with an undefeated regular season, the flag football team overcame their annual obstacle and dominated their opponents. Players attribute their success to their athletic experience and age, as 16 of the 22 players are seniors. “We’re a senior heavy team, so we have more experience than other teams we play,” sophomore Cassady Quintana said. Beyond seniority, these players have experience in other sports like basketball, soccer and volleyball, which helps contribute to their speed. Although 11 of these players have never played flag football before, such as seniors Monica Almirall, Kelsey Byerly, Sorymer Lopez, Amanda Oliver and Morgan Smith, their experience in other varsity sports gave them the endurance and velocity required for flag football. “Individually, a lot of my teammates have really good talent and together it makes us a lot better,” junior Natalia Diaz said. While their first game against Dr. Phillips on March 7 was a close one, the girls came through with the win, 20-19. “It was our first game of the season and it was at home, so

After beating Evans, 24-7, on March 9 the team conquered the Olympia Titans, 34-6, on March 14. “All of us were scoring touchdowns and it was just exciting to see our team really come together,” senior Kristin Recker said. “We were actually clicking and hitting everything and it was just really exciting to see what we could do when we’re on our game.” Recker scored her first touchdown of the season that night. Quintana and seniors Emily Colvin, Sarah Lottman and Oliver also contributed touchdowns that game. The Lady Braves then beat one of their alleged rivals, Timber Creek, 26-13, on March 16. Following that game, they also beat the University Cougars, 34-7, on March 30. “We started with a lot of good energy. Our defense came out really well,” Quintana said. “Once we started scoring, we didn’t stop. The energy was present throughout the entire game.” Breaking her personal record, Quintana scored three touchdowns, consisting of two receives and one rush, that game and earned “Player of the Game.” Following their win against University, the flag football

For the first time in six years, the girls finished their regular season undefeated, 10-0. “[Being undefeated] just showed how hard they worked,” coach Ken Hensley said. “Good athletes make you look like a good coach.” Their first 10 games helped prepare them for district play on April 25 against the University Cougars, who they defeated yet again, 14-6. Despite their efforts, the girls failed to score any touchdowns in the second half, making their score lower than usual. Several flags allowed the Cougars to score a touchdown in the fourth quarter. On April 27, the girls played the Dr. Phillips Panthers for the district final championship game. Due to their opponents’ strong defensive plays, the flag football team suffered their first loss, 6-13, ending their season, 11-1.

Experienced athletes contribute to first undefeated regular season in six years

By NATALIE DISLA After six years of failing to finish with an undefeated regular season, the flag football team overcame their annual obstacle and dominated their opponents. Players attribute their success to their athletic experience and age, as 16 of the 22 players are seniors. “We’re a senior heavy team, so we have more experience than other teams we play,” sophomore Cassady Quintana said.

While their first game against Dr. Phillips on March 7 was a close one, the girls came through with the win, 20-19. “It was our first game of the season and it was at home, so

I think we were more nervous,” Quintana said. “[Plus,] all of their touchdowns were lucky catches; we tipped them and they caught them in the end zones.” According to Quintana, this game encouraged the girls to give each game their full potential. After beating Evans, 24-7, on March 9 the team conquered the Olympia Titans, 34-6, on March 14. “All of us were scoring touchdowns and it was just exciting to see our team really come together,” senior Kristin Recker said. “We were actually clicking and hitting everything and it was just really exciting to see what we could do when we’re on our game.” Recker scored her first touchdown of the season that night.

team beat West Orange, 21-18. Although they consistently scored touchdowns, the Warriors scored one at the end of the first quarter, giving them the momentum to score two more touchdowns later that game. “It was a rough game,” Recker said. “[But] I think that’s going to help us moving forward because we’re all kind of mad about it, so it’s pushing us [and] lighting the fire inside of us.” After this game, the team pulled through and continued their winning streak beating Winter Park, 41-21; East River, 34-6; Ocoee, 32-0; and Freedom, 35-0.

This advertisement was sold late in the deadline process so it was hard to fit the ad within the ad placement. I designed this ad originally for a 1/4 page setting. There was so place available for an ad of that size though, so Burke and I had to redesign this advertisement to fit in a long section, which was something we never did before. This shows my design skills through my ability to re-work set designs to fit the page correctly.

By CARLY MEYER With three tests looming and two projects due on Friday, the typical high school student is loaded with school work and often finds himself falling behind on his sleep schedule. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that middle and high schools begin at 8:30 a.m. or later. The later start time will help students get enough sleep, which can improve their health, safety, academic performance and quality of life. With this research in mind, the Orange County School Board is looking at options to accommodate a later start to the high school day. The new ideas would not involve a time swap of middle and high school, like in 2008, but rather a later start time for all grade levels. OCPS is looking at high schools beginning at 7:50 to 8:15 a.m. versus the 7:10 to 7:30 a.m. start times currently in place. “If high school started later, life would be so much greater, I’d get so much more sleep,” sophomore David Bruno said. “It’s important for us to rest. Even though we don’t consider ourselves kids anymore, we’re still growing. I don’t know one high schooler who would complain about getting more sleep time.” Eight percent of high school students get the recommended 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night, according to a survey by The National Sleep Foundation. This lack of sleep is thought to be a factor that leads one in four high school students to fall asleep in class at least once a week. Without the 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night, anyone can become sleep deprived. Sleep deprivation can be chronic or acute. Chronic sleep disorders affect the brain and cause daytime sleepiness, clumsiness, fatigue, and weight loss or weight gain. An acute sleep disorder is one that lasts for a week at the most, and can come in random spurs. In severe cases, sleep deprivation can lead to enhancing one’s mood and depression, leads to fatigue and a decline in fitness. “Recognizing sleep is just as important, if not more, of a priority as getting school work done,” Dr. Alix Casler, pediatrician, said. “For some reason it’s not recognized enough, which doesn’t make sense because sleep is your health. It’s even more important than eating well or exercising. There’s some sort of [badge of honor] to think ‘Oh, I’m cool, I don’t need sleep, I stay up so late.’ It’s not cool to not take care of yourself. It’s not cool to not prioritize. It’s basic decision making do you want to stay up late or do you want to take care of yourself. Taking care of your body is more of a priority.” To improve sleep habits, The National Sleep Foundation suggests sticking to a sleep schedule, even on the weekends, practicing a bedtime ritual every night, exercising daily, and turning off electronics. Some other things one can do is evaluate one’s bedroom to get a comfortable environment, including temperature, light and sound, and avoiding caffeine and sugar within four hours of going to sleep. With one in four students having a job, more stress can be added to their plate. Teenagers with jobs are more likely to be anxious, depressed, get worse grades and be sleep deprived, than those without jobs. When one doesn’t have enough sleep, performance and alertness levels can decrease by 32 percent. “As soon as you get out of school, you’re working again, and then you don’t get home until so late [that by] the time you do — any time to do homework is long gone.” Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder in the U.S., and it affects 6 percent of the population, according to the Academy of Sleep. “The difference between insomnia, and not getting enough sleep is that most kids who say that they have insomnia, honestly don’t,” Dr. Casler said. “They don’t get enough sleep by choice, either because they are distracted by electronics, friends, or because of that, they procrastinate on their homework. This isn’t insomnia, it’s just not taking care of your schedule.” Sleep is necessary and students may not realize how vital it is to everyday performance.

I took this photo on my photo day. The lighting in the auditorium is very dim and does not work well with the regular camera settings, so I had to use a flash. The cast is rehearing a dance number from the fall play. The flash was a bit harsh, but that was the only way to capture this moment. This represents my photography skills as it represents an important moment in time and tells the story of the moment.

what’s mine: photography I am not an expert in sports photography so this was a challenge. The game was at night so it was difficult. I did get one shot though that really captured the intensity of the game. This represents my photography skills as it is a clear picture that captures an important, intense moment during a soccer game.

what’s mine: photography I didn’t plan on taking this photo when I initially designed the page. It arose that to make the spread better, we had to a picture. I went to Chik-Fil-A and identified a worker to take a picture of. It was difficult to take the picture because he couldn’t stop working. I caught a moment with good lighting and good movement. This photo represents my photography skills as it shows my willingness to go out and take pictures and my ability to capture a moment to further expand the coverage of my story.
