1. What initial emotions and thoughts arose for you when you heard school would be cancelled for the rest of the year?




When school was canceled for the rest the year I was really shocked because like I had to process that we had a pandemic going on so when our school was canceled there was a shock factor. I knew they were doing the right thing and I was sad and I was really happy. I was sad because I would go to my friends and like I was waiting to do some more assignments I haven’t completed for teachers and stuff like that. I knew it would be a lot harder to access classroom but I am mostly happy because there is no school.


2. What new hobbies have you picked up since we were let out of school? If you haven’t picked up any new hobbies, what have you been doing to buy the time?

Since I was out of school I am I learning new instruments like the base. I’ve done a lot more reading than I usually would have and I also have started Japanese, and I’m doing more Spanish work outside of school.

3. How have you felt towards online school so far?

I have a love-hate relationship with online school. We have less homework which I love, but it’s harder to connect with classmates and teachers. And I have lost a lot of motivation.

4. How has it been creating a routine and schedule for yourself since the start of online school?

Well I’ve tried to but it’s really hard to stick to a routine and make plans but then I don’t have enough motivation to finish them. I always tell myself I have all this time to do it I can do tomorrow.

5. What are you looking forward to once all of this is over?

This whole time I have been social distancing with my friends so I haven’t gotten to see anyone since March 23rd so I’m really looking forward to seeing my friends and hanging out with people.

6. So far, what do you think has been your favorite TV show/movie to watch?

OK, I’m really into watching a lot of Batman shows for some reason and I’ve been watching RuPaul’s drag race show. Those are my top two, or Criminal Mind, I can’t really decide but those are my top three.

Guest post by rising sophomore Sandra Thein, photos courtesy of Kelly Ryu and Emilie Kono I love those college YouTube videos: “2018 COLLEGE DECISION REACTIONS - IVY LEAGUE AND MORE!” The enthusiasm and gratitude the applicants radiate upon hearing where they will be spending the next four years of their lives is inspiring and motivating for a high school student like me.  I'm also inspired by students closer to home. Graduating senior Emilie Kono is a student athlete with a love for science and music. "Bo th in and outside of school," says Kono, "my family, friends, coaches, teachers and mentors have all been incredibly supportive in pushing me to reach my full potential; I can’t thank them enough! I knew that I wanted to be at an academically high achieving school and Stanford was an excellent choice. Between the incredible professors, facilities and some of the brightest students in the nation, I knew that I would be lucky to join them.” The only

By Faith Pauken, www.cardinaltimes.org staff member All photos by Faith Pauken Photojournalism is a form of journalism that provides images to aid in the telling of a story or news. Pictures contribute to the overall perception one may have about an article. By giving the reader a visual, they’re able to imagine what the event looked like, whether that’s showing what 100,000 people look like during a protest, or the face of an artist. During my journey through photography over the last year, I’ve been able to expand my knowledge on what makes a good photo, how to track people down and how to manage unexpected obstacles. Football/Sports Photography My personal favorite event to photograph for the last two years has been football. The fall sports season is packed with events having football easily be the most popular event on a Friday evening which makes it an important event to capture. If someone misses one game they feel like they missed out; this is where my job

Frankie Lopez Profile By: Alexander Rozas When you picture a star soccer player’s life, you might imagine them attractive, popular and smart. However, soccer star Francisco Lopez was depressed, bullied and during his professional career was riddled with sports anxiety. Now he helps kids who are going through the same mental problems he did. Lopez remembers that the peak of his soccer career was in his senior year of high school where McMinnville High School made the finals. “Before that, not many people came to the games, but during the finals over 4,000 people came to support the team,” said Lopez. The game ended with McMinnville beating the powerhouse Jesuit 8-7 in a penalty shootout. It was a dream come true. “Winning the State Championship was the best feeling of my life and I haven’t been able to replicate that feeling or experience,” said Lopez. “It really brought the community together.” Lopez ended up bringing the trophy home with him and slept with
