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.). As the language is visual, students must have their eyes on me in order to receive the message, she said. They are unable to simply listen while doing something else.

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.

Low resolution? The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. Purpose of use The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the users understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artists providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public. Replaceable? As movie poster art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the movie would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Other information Use of the cover art in the article complies with fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
