SAT vs ACT – Which should you take?
Members of the book club voted for the next book they will be reading, which will be Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. “I'm glad that everyone agreed on a new book to read,” senior club president Alyssa Annis said. “I was looking forward to getting started on it.”
Book Club makes connections with literature and people
On the first excursion of the program, my group visited the observation deck on the 89th floor of Taipei 101, one of the tallest buildings in the world. Here I pose in front of the LED strip design of the building. I walked around, explored the various picture sports, and looked down at the amazing 360 views of the old and new Taipei city.
Discovering myself through travel
While doing community service at the Air Show for the French Club Jocelyn and I were interviewed by Telemundo 23.
Community Service is an important graduation requirement
As the first semester of the school-year comes to an end, Chemistry Honors students are finishing up their last assignments, including a Kami activity on periodic table trends. Reflecting on her experience, junior Jacqueline Gutierrez shared, "My first semester of chem has been a bit of a struggle and it really tested me and my patience but I'm thankful that I've taken the class and that's because it's made me now think of the world in a different way."
Enhancing Alisal’s AP Course Selection
In a home match against Alvarez at First Tee, junior Alejandra Alvarez hits an approach shot with her 9-iron from the rough. Alvarez scored a 5 on hole 1 and had an overall match score of 35. The team won this match with a score of 231. Alvarez was named 1st Team All-League.
Girls’ golf team finishes season tied for 2nd in Mission Division
In a match against Pajaro Valley on October 3rd, number 1 singles player and senior captain, Teresa Ochoa, hits a backhand in her win. The team ended up taking the win with a 4-3 score. “It was really hot that day, so I couldn’t wait for the game to be over and I was just telling myself to get the ball over the net,” Ochoa said.
Cherishing the Moments
With the clock running down and the Trojans ahead 33-27, the defense stopped the Sharks at the goal line to seal the win. #1 Carlos Zamora celebrates the stop. “Our defense came up huge against St. Francis and I can't say enough at how proud I am of them as a group,” Coach Estrada said.
Staying the course
Against Soledad on September 30th, Nayeli Gil-Silva and Sara Neumann blocked an attack from Soledad, scoring a point for the Trojans. “I love contact sports and when I'm blocking it makes me feel like I'm telling the other team, ‘You can’t do that!’” The Trojans beat the Aztecs 3-0.
Rebuild to Success
At Pinto Lake in Center Meet 3 on October 17th, Gustavo Perez finished first with a time of 15:44. “It was our first time running that course,” Perez said, “I didn’t know what to expect but going into the race it was very hilly. Being able to still run 15’s makes me feel proud.”

This is a display of some of my adult collector sets, mixed with some smaller ones. It represents a shrine of sets that keep me coming back to Lego due to their difficulty and age range. Some sets, like Optimus Prime, took me 4 hours or multiple days to put together which is what I enjoy from Lego, you never feel bored.
Why I still enjoy collecting Lego
These nails are the last set that I did on myself about 2 weeks ago and lasted me 3 weeks. It took me about 2 and a half hours to do. These nails are medium length and well manicured, with a French tip glossy finish. They are painted a soft pink color and each nail has a delicate white flower design, which adds elegance and creativity. As soon as I saw the final result, I got a surge of confidence and I loved them.
Nailin’ it!
The senior package saves $90 on the combined cost of the yearbook, diploma cover, Grad Nite, panoramic picture, and senior sweater.
Investing in the memories
Among the many things that my friends and I bring to school, the ones that stand out the most are our wallets, mints, body creams, and beauty products. “I need my sunscreen the most otherwise my face feels dry,” senior Saul Luna said.
The “real” school essentials
Me and my older sister Karina, who helped me stay positive and deal with body shaming.
Beyond the Looks
While I was excited for the remastered version of Silent Hill 2, I have learned to balance playing and school.
