NO MORE STANDARDIZED TESTING Colleges have adopted a test-optional admissions policy for class of 2021.
Cedrick Charles Staff Writer

Contributor Michael T. Nietzel said. Some colleges and universities that are going this test-optional route include: Williams College, Tufts University, Northeastern University, and all public universities in Oregon, Texas Christian University, Western Michigan University, and all the schools in the UC system which include Los Angeles, Berkley and seven other locations. “I personally think that this is a good thing because examinations such as the SAT and ACT are not a direct determining factor in one’s true intelligence. Those that belong to the upper middle and high class have a significant advantage over other students because of their economic ability. They are able to receive extra help and resources that the economically disadvantaged cannot,” junior Emily Ayala said. While some schools are still deciding whether or not they will uphold the testoptional policies for the class of 2021, students are deciding whether or not to continue studying for these exams.

or SAT Subject Tests on June 6, 2020.” With CollegeBoard and ACT cancelling exams due to increasing safety issues, many colleges and universities have decided to adopt test-optional admissions for the class of 2021. “Within the past two weeks, more than ten institutions have announced they have elected to go to test-optional admissions. In most cases, the decision applies to the 2021 entering class, but at some schools, the change affects students still applying for this fall semester. The institutions include large public institutions and small private colleges,” Forbes Magazine said. Since these schools began considering the option of going test-optional, there has yet to be a slow down of the spread of the virus. Other universities have also taken a look at the long term effects of this situation. In most cases, it appears the decision to move to test-optional admissions will be a permanent change, rather than just a temporary reaction to the disruptions caused by the novel coronavirus,” Senior

ccordingtoTesting in American Schools, an article published by Princeton University, standardized testing has been a part of American education for over 150 years. However, because of the recent COVID-19 virus outbreak, standardized testing may be put on hold for the class of 2021 admissions. COVID-19 is a worldwide pandemic that has altered life in the United States. Because of the rapid spread of the virus, the United States has implemented a range of social distancing interventions across the country, including closures of schools, bars, cinemas, and restaurants, cancellation of large public gatherings, including cultural and sporting events, and discouraging gatherings of more than 10 people. According to SAT and PSAT-Related Coronavirus Updates, published by CollegeBoard, “To keep students safe, and in alignment with public health guidance and school closures across 192 countries, we will not be able to administer the SAT

OUR RESPONSE TO A PANDEMIC
Coronavirus management in the United States has been plagued with problems. Sophie Karbstein Opinion Editor at home by Mar. 30, although Gov. DeSantis waited until April 3. Stay-at-home orders required residents to limit travel outside the home to outdoor exercise and essential activities. Some states, like Massachusetts, issued only advisories and never any actual orders. And by the end of April, many states were already beginning to partially reopen. In Florida, the expiration date for Gov. DeSantis’ stay-at-home order was May 4, which is when restaurants and retail stores could begin operating again at diminished capacity. The reopening did exempt three counties, including Palm Beach, where the majority of cases in the state are located. The reopenings are meant to support the economy and the huge numbers of people who have been recently unemployed for reasons relating to the pandemic. But the reopenings come as US cases are continuing to increase. Reopening now will only hurt in the long run, both economically and regarding the possible death toll, as case numbers and deaths only grow when social distancing is abandoned. As other countries have begun to reopen, their cases accordingly increase, and ours will naturally do the same. The mishandling of the virus, from equipment shortages to social distancing failures, means that Americans have been and will continue to be affected by the virus more severely than residents of other countries are. As cases fail to decrease or even level off in the US, social distancing measures will need to stay in place in order to save lives. Even though states are being partially reopened in an attempt to rescue the flailing economy and help individuals financially, places like schools may continue to be shuttered. Because of the poor response of the US government as a whole, it is unclear whether or not Suncoast students will be able to return to campus in the fall. Photo source: Google
S
ince the Chinese government first started reporting a mysterious pneumonia outbreak in Wuhan on Dec. 31, a coronavirus known as COVID-19 has become a worldwide pandemic, infecting over 3.5 million people around the globe. And the United States, with over one million reported cases and 70,000 deaths, has become the epicenter of this global outbreak. How did this happen? About a month after initial reports, on Jan. 30, the World Health Organization officially declared the coronavirus a “public health emergency of international concern”. The next day, the Trump administration began to restrict travel from China. The first case in the US, however, had already been confirmed over a week earlier in Washington State. In other words, it was too late. The first major problem with the US response concerned testing kits. In the weeks between the first confirmed US case and early March, there was essentially no large-scale testing of people who could have been exposed to the virus. Even after testing programs were put into place, there were mass supply shortages and tests were limited to healthcare workers and those with specific symptoms. This problem persists: the US has administered almost 20,000 tests per million residents less than Spain and Italy, which are the countries with the nexthighest case numbers. Because the US is still testing less than many other countries, it is likely that the actual number of cases is even larger. By Mar. 26, days after the Summer Olympics in Tokyo were postponed for a year, the US was the country hardest hit by the virus. American healthcare workers were now facing a lack of protective equipment such as masks and gowns for themselves, and a lack of medical equipment like ventilators to treat their critical patients. Governors of different states were forced to compete with each other and with the federal government for any available equipment, in what Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York, likened to an eBay bidding contest. Because of these early failures in providing testing kits and medical equipment, social distancing quickly emerged as the only way to lessen the deadly impact of the outbreak. But there were even missteps in implementing this, as local and state governments were reluctant to shutter their economies so early, and many residents simply refused to adhere to advice from health professionals and government officials. In one viral instance, a student on spring break was interviewed on television saying, “If I get corona, I get corona. At the end of the day, I’m not gonna let it stop me from partying.” Despite fears that COVID-19 would be especially harmful in Florida, where over a quarter of the population is considered elderly, Gov. Ron DeSantis repeatedly refused to close down beaches during the crowded spring break season until the middle of March. The governors of 30 states had ordered their residents to stay

COVID-19 Has Revealed Hidden Racism Viruses don’t discriminate: but people do.
Natasha St. Hilaire Staff Writer
I
t would be dishonorable to say that the outwardly racist and xenophobic behavior began when prominent government officials and lawmakers began coining COVID-19 as the “Chinese” virus. For far too long, we have associated viruses and diseases with geographical regions as a way to stigmatize and alienate those who hail from such a place. It was seen in the onslaught of the bubonic plague during the 1300s, where Jews were thought to be the catalyst of the disease. It was seen in the 1980s, when Haitians were blamed for the arrival and spread of HIV in the U.S. Now it is being seen amid the COVID-19 pandemic. According to National Broadcasting Company (NBC) News, “While Americans have been advised by experts and officials to prepare, not panic, we also see empty Chinatown restaurants across the country, flight cancellations and travel restrictions to and from China and other parts of Asia, and Asian American children and students experiencing harassment and discrimination.” Yet this is not the only brutality and stigma that AsianAmericans and other minority groups have been forced to endure. On April 11, 2020, Cable News Network (CNN) reported that “a group of teens attacked a 51-yearold woman on a New York City bus, yelling ‘anti-Asian statements’ at her and accusing her of causing the coronavirus. And, also in New York City, a 13-year-old allegedly kicked a 59-year-old man for the same racist motives.” Senior Christal Fan said, “This virus shouldn’t be blamed on just Chinese people, everyone, in the long run, had some part in this quarantine situation.” However, Asian-Americans are not the only victims of blatant bigotry and discrimination. Africans in China, primarily within the city of Guangzhou, have been targeted as well. “My first
reaction when I heard [this] was major disappointment. It’s not surprising, but you think they would know better,” senior Francesca Peuguero said. According to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), China’s health commission “tested every African national in the city for COVID-19.” Africans have been forced from their homes, placed in quarantine hotels, banned from bars and restaurants and subjugated to unfair visa restrictions. One community leader said that 98 percent of Africans are in quarantine, and although lockdown ended for Wuhan on April 8, many Africans, who have been tested numerous times for COVID-19, are still on lockdown. The motive for these attacks is the rise in foreign imported cases, thought to be a direct causality of the Africans living in Guangzhou, but according to an anonymous student from Sierra Leone, “the majority are from Chinese nationals. Only a small percentage is made up of Africans.” If there is anything to be learned as we deal with COVID-19, labels such as the “Chinese virus” and “Wuhan virus” do not allow for accuracy. “Quarantine hotels” may solve a temporary problem but lead to lasting ones. Yet all of this allows for racism, a virus that cannot be cured. It allows for alienation and racially-motivated hate crimes, and in the case of Africans in China, it allows for retaliation. “I think that instead of focusing on creating a label and casting blame on the Chinese, the greater goal should be to work collaboratively and try to resolve or de-escalate the current situation in the world,” senior Deyu Xu said. COVID-19 is not attacking any single people group, creed, or color. It is attacking humanity, and our best chance of surviving is not exile, ostracization, or dehumanization. It is each other.

UNDECIDED? ME TOO

Entering college as an undecided major is not a big deal.
Samirah Abellard Managing Editor and Features Editor “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you,” she said as she handcuffed her teddy bear for what seemed like the millionth time. Solving crimes and stopping bad guys was something she ate, slept and dreamt about. She was destined to become a police officer. However, that was then, and now she is no longer so sure about what her future will hold. When it is time to begin applying to college, most students have an idea of what they want to major in the following year. However, there are some students who have no idea what they want to study, so they apply as “undecided” or “undeclared.” According to StudyBreaks, between 20 to 50 percent of college applicants “enter college as undecided.” These numbers show that it is fairly common for college students to be undecided and that it is common for students to change their majors before graduation. Students who enter college undecided
do so for many reasons. “I’ve always been interested in the medical field…, but I’m undecided because I’m really interested in business and management, especially in sports,” senior Mia Pastore said. Sometimes a student may have different interests or they may have no idea what they like. Oftentimes, a student may have a certain career in mind, but later outgrows this interest. Although students who enter college with a declared major have the opportunity to knock their prerequisites, about 80 percent of college students in the United States change their major during their college career, so being undecided is not a big deal. Students may take certain classes to help them choose a major while some have interests in completely opposite career paths, who can take classes encompassing both fields to help them choose the right major for them. “I’m really interested in sports and the pre-med track [so] right now I know I’m taking nutrition classes because that goes into both areas,” Pastore said.
College freshmen and sophomores can also take further steps to help them choose a major. For example, they can shadow experienced employees such as physicians and lawyers. Although shadowing is not directly hands-on, it does allow prospective employees to gain insight into a certain job. Students can also volunteer in hospitals if they desire a career in the medical field, or they can volunteer in places such as schools and pre-schools if they wish to work with students. Still, it is ok for students to change their minds even after shadowing because many people are still figuring out their lives.

Freshmen Fears Helping our new freshmen become comfortable by facing one fear at a time.
Anniah Callum Staff Writer
E
ntering a new school, particularly high school, can be very nerve racking for incoming freshmen. Many face what can be referred to as “freshmen fears” from things that they may have heard from family members, friends, or even just what they are naturally afraid of. They are called “freshmen fears” because they are common fears that most freshmen face when entering high school. “I was afraid to start getting bad grades and I was afraid that high school was going to be too hard,” freshman Kameron Scott said. Most incoming freshmen worry about getting bad grades. They are aware that they are no longer in middle school, which means they will no longer be babied and that their grades depend solely on them. They are also aware that their work load will increase, however, depending on what high school they attend; how much it may increase differs. Some schools may have heavier workloads like Suncoast, while others may have lighter ones. When entering high school, students must learn to be responsible with their work and their studies in order to get good grades. Without them, incoming freshmen that would like to be on school athletic teams would not be able to play. Many are not used to having to worry as much about grades when it comes to sports because middle school was a “breeze” for them. “One thing I was scared of was that I was gonna get lost in school because I wasn’t used to high school, so I thought it was gonna be scary and hard to get around,” freshman Tamia Dennard said. Getting lost is also a huge freshmen fear. Not only is it just a freshmen fear, but it can be a fear of any student going to a new school. However, for freshmen, this may be a major fear because they are used to walking the same halls for three years
without any worries. This fear is typically from students who went to smaller middle schools. They are now entering these huge high schools and may feel intimidated by them. However, throughout the year these buildings become familiar to them and these fears go away. “I’ve always thought about peer pressure because I don’t want to end up making a decision I’m going to regret, but in the moment it occurs I may not be thinking about what the outcome will be,” freshman Sovrein Alexander said. Peer pressure is a major issue teenagers in high school face whether it is to seem “cool” or to “fit in.” It is sad to say that many teenagers go through this and do not speak up about it because that they are too scared or feel like they have no one to go to or talk to. According to Yolanda Williams, the author of “Peer Pressure: Statistics, Examples & Signs,” 90 percent of teens reported facing peer pressure before. This is a very high number with 28 percent claiming that their social statuses were boosted after they gave in to peer pressure. Peer pressure will probably remain at the top of the freshmen fears list due to how it affects teens every year, whether it is with freshmen or not. “I wasn’t scared of anything to be honest,” freshman Aden Haston said. Although a majority of incoming freshmen may have their fears when it comes to entering high school, there are some students who cannot wait to become freshmen. Freshman fears are not meant to scare incoming freshmen but to only talk about the common fears freshmen may have when going into high school. Just because you are about to be or are a freshmen does not mean you have to have a fear.

And They Were Roomates...
SENIORS HAVE MADE yet another huge decision: Who will they live with? Valentina Jaramillo Staffwriter
T
he last step of the college enrollment process is an especially important one: finding and choosing a roommate. Choosing a roommate is an essential commitment that students have to make and can ultimately affect their first year of college. A roommate can become the person you spend the most time with and potentially become your best friend. As they will have a big influence in your life, it is important to choose your roommate wisely. Most students today use Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and other apps to meet potential roommates. While some universities do not allow freshmen to pick their roommates in order to branch out and meet new people, other colleges give students the opportunity to choose their own based on compatibility. There are several important things to consider when selecting a roommate, such as etiquette, beliefs and similarity. Suncoast seniors have taken these things into consideration and have made their decision.
Chloe and Isabelle
Chloe Cornette’s roommate is Isabelle, who is from West Palm Beach, Florida and goes to Park Vista High School. The two are to attend The University of Florida and met through the UF Facebook page and reached out to each other on Instagram. “I was looking for someone fun, relatable, a little crazy, and also still really focused on school,” Cornette said. She also wanted someone organized to decorate their dorms similarly. Cornette explained that the search process was long and that she had many people reach out to her, but Isabelle was the only one to talk about more than just school and hobbies. “The hardest part about the process is getting to know all of your roommate options really personally in a couple of days,” Cornette said. Getting to know someone virtually undoubtedly makes things more difficult, “Obviously people do not put their flaws in their bio about themselves, so it’s hard to choose someone right away,” she stated. However, with Isabelle, Cornette explained that they instantly clicked and spoke on refreshing topics as if they were already best friends. “We had a lot in common … She reminds me of my best friends now, so I knew she would be a good choice.”
Jose and Nicolas Jose Castro’s roommate’s name is Nicolas Zea and they both will be attending Florida State University. They met at Suncoast in the 10th grade, and happened to be neighbors. This pair demonstrates another side of the roommate selection process by picking someone they already knew. Overall, Castro was looking to room with someone that he could be completely comfortable with. “I chose Nick because he’s my best friend, we have known each other for three years and are very close with one another,” Castro said. While others may feel that finding a new person to be roommates with is better to find new friends, there are definitely some pros to living with someone you know. “Some advantages of rooming with Nick are that I know what he likes and doesn’t like, and we also have lots of things in common. In addition, our parents know each other and this will make moving in smoother,” Castro said. Rooming with someone you know eliminates the chance of being blindsided by a person you have not met before. Castro and Zea will continue their close friendship and move into their dorm in the fall.
Maddy and Emma Maddy Dupuis’ roommate’s name is Emma and they both will be attending Florida State University in the fall. Emma is from Charlotte, North Carolina and they met when she reached out from the FSU Class of 2024 Facebook page. When finding a roommate, Dupuis wanted a neat person with similar interests and whom she had not met before. The scouting for a roommate can be perceived as difficult and stressful. “The hardest part about the process is figuring out who you are going to be compatible with… I had to speak to so many people for a few months in order to find someone who I really matched with,” Dupuis said. The overall deciding factor for her was similarity. “Emma and I chose each other because we both relate to each other a lot… We were both born in North Carolina, have similar music tastes, like to eat healthy, and love staying organized,” Dupuis said. In hopes of being a good match for each other, Dupuis and Emma have made their commitment and will finally meet in the fall.

to do: Pack for College A simple guide to follow when packing for college.
Maya Calderon Staff Writer & Samirah Abellard (Design)
A
s the school year is coming to a close, many seniors are getting ready for the next chapter in their lives. Most people are excited to move on to college and finally get to experience living on their own and making new friends. One of the first steps, however, is packing for this whole new life. Since many people have never packed up their entire life to fit into a small dorm room, packing can be a difficult process, and everyone could use a guide of what to pack and what not to pack in these stressful times. Depending on where a college is, different types of clothes are going to be necessary, like a heavy coat and boots for a school located somewhere with colder winters. However, it is important not to overpack these items and to make the most of whatever space is given as a closet.
Pants:
very Of course, having enough pants or shorts is an need not do nts stude e important, but colleg tile versa are that ms botto ng Packi endless supply. and can go with many different shirts is important because they can make up a few different go-to tial outfits. Not only are jeans or shorts a basic essen s short le ortab to have to dress up or down, but comf they think may le are also important. Most peop they want to look nice for class, but in reality when to get to night long a after have to wake up early n. optio r bette the is ort comf for class, dressing
SHIRTS:
Obviously, having a good amount of shirts is important for anyone because for most people it is a go-to clothing item. However, the spaces to store clothes in college dorms is limited, so bringing every shirt you own is completely unnecessary. Most clubs on campus will advertise through the form of clothing items or accessories. One very common way for students to get free T-shirts is by simply accepting the numerous handouts from clubs that do not even require students to join before they get a free shirt.
shoes:
Although students ma y want to pack all the shoes they have for different occasions because they never know when they may need them, sticking to a few essentials is key. Shoe s can easily take up a lot of room in whatever space the dorms have as a clo set, and it is not the most pra ctical idea to use half of the closet space for shoes. Bringing one to two pa irs of tennis shoes that could be worn out but also eas ily throw on before class or a football game is impo rtant. One or two pairs of nic er, dressier shoes for spe cial occasions are also con venient to have. Also, having a pair of shower shoes is a necessity if your sch ool has communal bathroo ms. Even if the dorms have a private bathroom that is only shared with a few oth er suitemates, shower sho es are essential.

FUTURE LEGEND ATHLETES Seniors pass the torch to the underclassmen. Jessy Aramouni News Editor
A
After Suncoast lost many of their athletes from the class of 2020, it is up to the class of 2021 and below to bring on all they have for next year’s season. Throughout this year’s seasons, Suncoast has seen our senior captains lead their teams to victories and support them through tough losses. Also, the development of the underclassmen as they prepare for the rest of their high school season. Senior Aaron Adams, one of the captains of the football team, had a few words of advice for the team next year. “They will need to work hard and be smart football players, always listen to Coach Clark and trust what he’s saying. Lastly, go out and have fun, enjoy high school football while it lasts,” Adams said. Following up with junior William Wells, a dual athlete in football and basketball, who plans to strive in his senior year season with his teammates. His plans for his team were to essentially recruit players and substitute skills that are going to be lost once the seniors, who composed the majority of the team, leave for college. “My hopes for next season, being since we had a lot of seniors, I’m hoping the underclassmen of this year step up to fill the roles of the graduating senior class that played a major role on our team. I’m also looking forward to what Coach Clark has planned for us in our upcoming season,” Wells said. The Suncoast girls soccer team have played to the best of
their abilities throughout their season, which lead them to their overall record of 9-1. Senior Mariana Rivera believed it was due to the bonding and communication developed. “My advice for next year’s team is to be selfless players and create team bonding, to become sisters instead of teammates,” Rivera said. The seniors from the track and field team this year looked forward to ending their year in states. Since the year was cut short for the spring sports, the senior captains hoped for better circumstances for the underclassmen next year. “The team has a lot of potential, they just need to stay consistent through the offseason, getting stronger and faster and the rest will fall to place,” senior Timothy Tulloch, one of the captains of the track team, said. As for our tennis team, senior Justin Goldstein, who had been a major asset to the team since his freshman year, gave a quick word of advice to the players participating in the upcoming season. “Every point counts, don’t give up on any of them,” Goldstein said. Now that the athletes have heard these few words of wisdom from the class of 2020, seniors hope they keep on the charger pride and continue the Suncoast legacy. As for the senior athletes of 2020 that have built a legacy despite the year being cut short, you will be missed and wish you all an amazing college experience.
