In her ASL 2 class ASL teacher Patty Killough signs look at me to get their attention, as some of the students were not paying attention (on phones, talking, etc.).

Many teachers understand the burden of managing overwhelming workloads. AP English teacher Mick Battaglini spends hours reading essays for his class, among other school related activities outside of work hours. “I’m more than willing to read PIQs or write a letter of recommendation for a student, but what these organizations (Nike, Gates Foundation, HSF) are asking is extra work, he said. I understand its voluntary, but If I do that (read essays) for SBAC or College Board, I’m compensated, so the same should be true in this situation.”

Seniors Keyla Rodriguez and Victor Villacana have been together for one year and since they’re both committed to CSUMB, it was a no-brainer to stay together. In terms of making their relationship work, they have a lot of factors that will help keep their relationship stronger than ever. “We live close and our families are very close,” Rodriguez said.
End of high school often means the end of your relationship
The demands of AP classes, sports, and yearbook took a toll on me this year, but it helped me gain some perspective.
Being “enough” rather than perfect
My older brother went down the wrong path and lost his life in a shooting during a house party. This news affected my whole family and altered us greatly.
Overcoming Loss
For casual days I do just mascara and lip gloss. For mascara I typically keep it consistent by using the Maybelline Sky High in Black and pair it with a lip gloss. The product usually depends on my mood. I tend to buy many lip glosses, some may say too much (like over 50+), but I usually stick with either e.l.f. glowy balm in grape or NYX Fat Oil in Newsfeed.
Yes I wear makeup, and?
I struggled with my phone addiction for a long time in my early teens, and I didn’t fix it until these last two years.
