Senior Swagger on the Slopes The senior class takes a weekend trip to Duluth. by Rachel Sandnes
As Cristina Gomezcoello picked up speed going down the slope, she quickly realized, as this was her first time skiing, that she had no clue how to slow down. The slope began to get steeper and steeper, and a rather large pole was getting closer and closer. She said, “Her life flashed before her eyes…” as she stumbled down the hill. She woke up to a nice man helping her up, and a fellow skier on the lift above throwing down a dollar bill and complimenting her on her recent wipe out. Once situated, she decided that from then on she would walk down the slopes. Skiing was far too terrifying. Cristina said, “Skiing was fun while
going down the bunny hill, but once I accidentally turned down a blue square (intermediate slope) and didn’t know how to stop, skiing wasn’t fun anymore. I fell a lot and I’m still very sore.” Christina says the senior class trip to Duluth was awesome because she got a chance to talk to and get to know her fellow classmates who she usually doesn’t see outside of school. Although skiing wasn’t Cristina’s favorite thing, the senior class managed to do a lot more than that. The trip included bowling, swimming, sight seeing around Duluth, grabbing food at local joints, and even striking up conversations with people around the city. Continuted on Page 2
