Q&A with Owen Adams

-

By Abby Yium 

Q) What do you think about online learning/school so far? 
A) So far I like it due to how it gives me a loose structure and is thus less stressful than normal school was.  It's a weird yet interesting change of pace.

Q) Have you tried anything new during quarantine? 
A) Not really, but I have been biking more than usual and learning some cool tricks as well as just finding new ways to keep in touch with my friends.

Q) What is something you want to do after quarantine is over? 
A) I really just want to get back to my extracurricular and find my stride again.  I do competitive rock climbing and I know my strength is gonna suffer over this break so I'm just really excited to get back into that and start working hard again.

Q) What is your favorite movie that you have watched in quarantine? If you haven't watched any movies, what is your favorite book, tv show, or other activity that you have done in quarantine? 
A) I heard about this thing called Netflix party where I can watch Netflix in sync with my friends.  So far I've watched a few shows with my friend Jasmine called "Locke and Key" and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and we just started watching "The Witcher"

Q) How have you been affected by the virus? 
A) Mainly I've just struggled to find a schedule that I can kind of stick to, but other than that I'm feeling alright about this shift at the moment.

    The second recommendation for Locke and Key! I'll have to check it out. I agree that this time is challenging but also interesting in some ways.

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
