Keira Saavedra: A Plane Crash

-

     I chose this story to tell because it's a story I haven't previously shared openly with people. For the longest time some of my closet friends didn't even know about my story. I decided to share this traumatic story because of the advice my mom gave me. She said that sometimes the best way to get past a fear or a trauma is to talk openly about it. My story is about a plane crash I was in almost 8 years ago. I tell my story by talking about what happened the events of the day, and the repercussions I have had to face as the result of being in a plane crash. 

    The skills I learned from the storytelling assignment is when i'm telling a story I have to pick the details that mean the most to me. I also learned that when telling your story you are forced to become vulnerable.  I really enjoyed the storytelling project. I feel like it gave me some valuable lessons that I can apply to writing also. 

    From listening to my classmates stories I learned more about each person that I wouldn't otherwise know. Many of my classmates stories had a moral or a lesson to lead by which helped me realize I should be applying those lessons to my life. I don't think I learned anything new about myself.

    I thought your last paragraph about applying lessons to yourself was super interesting.

    I like how you chose a story that was very tough to talk about with other people but decided to tell other people which is really brave of you.

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
