Photojournalism Essay by Gwyneth Bao

On May 9th, a family takes a hike at Silver Falls, just as the early morning sun peeks through the trees. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, outdoor treks were becoming a common routine.

 


At the turning point of the trail, the cascade of a thunderous waterfall sends droplets flying in every direction. With the additional morning mist, hikers had to be cautious of the slippery, rocky outcrops.



Small creatures can be found at any point on the journey, boasting elegant, intricate outer shells. The snail had most likely came out in search of the damp, humid weather.

    The photos are beautiful and capture unique aspects of a day at Silver Falls. The cutlines/captions are informative and contain strong description.

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

Pictures contribute to the overall perception one may have about an article.

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
