hroughout the years as people grow and develop their differences, so does fashion. Not meaning that one follows the style of another but in fact everyone’s style defines his or her characteristics. Whether it’s through the brightness of their eyes or the shade of their high tops, one can show the age of a generation through the sense of fashion that is worn within the years that it’s elevated. - Daniela Hernandez - Avila
Unapologetic You Angelica Reyes, News Editor Self-acceptance is something that everyone struggles with in some way but to be you means to be happy. Roosevelt junior, Maddie Johnson who has unique style and carefree sprit talks about a time she felt insecure about herself and how overcoming it made her the person she is today. “One of the biggest standing out factors about finding my own identity was finding out I wasn’t straight. It wasn’t a secret some of my close friends knew, but it wasn’t until last year that everyone knew. I stop caring what others thought of me because it increasingly became clear to me that I started to see it as me being unapologetic for being me”. Johnson refers to the kids she works with at Half Pints as her inspiration saying, “The kids I work with inspire me to be me because they’re still at an open time in their lives and they don’t have a definition of themselves yet”. Her best advice for anyone who is going through a tough time finding or accepting who they are is, “My best advice I would give to anyone would be ask yourself what you have to prove and what that proof is going to do for their identity and also anybody is better off minding their own business and seeing how it benefits themselves.”

Individuality Angelica Reyes, News Editor When you say the word “me,” you probably feel pretty clear about what that means but if you were to describe who exactly are you? Is it you style or the way of thinking or certain physical characteristics that define you? What ever it may be every individual at one point in their life struggles to embrace the characteristics that make them unique.
When a person can embrace their flaws and accept himself or herself it proven that they live a happier life. Junior Harry Nguyen being a person who has struggle to be himself at young to the mature optimistic person he is today says, “The opportunity to stand out in the crowd and make a men of himself ” is what inspires him to be who he is. He says, “I believe in individuality and everyone has different qualities that make them who they are, I struggle because any time I tried to be myself I was an outcast I would try to form myself into a group but it wasn’t me.” Being yourself can be risky. But in the long-run, you know you’re capable of being a good self. Anyone is capable of taking the risk. Even if some people don’t understand, you can find a way to pursue the life and work you’ve always wanted. Nguyen says his best advice for anyone is “Just do you boo, everybody going to judge and learn to live with that and be happy.” Photo Credit: Angelica Reyes
