Q. Have you found a new hobby during quarantine?

A.Yes, I’ve started to bake a lot more and I’ve read more books.

Q. What are some things in your routine that have stayed the same during this time?

A.Some things that have stayed the same for me is that I still work out everyday.

Q. Whats something you've learned due to COVID-19

A.Something that I’ve learned is that you can’t take your freedom for granted, and you should be thankful for everything you have.

Q.How is the quarantine time positively affected your life?

A.I’ve had a lot more time to focus on myself and get more sleep.

Q.How have you been negatively affected?

A. I can’t see any of my friends or other family out of the state, so I miss them a lot. I also missed out on a lot of soccer and traveling, and I haven’t been able to practice with any of my teammates.

Q.How has your routine changed because of COVID-19?

A. I don’t have any school to go to Monday-Friday, or any practices after school, so I’ve just done everything once it comes to mind. I’ve also liked to stay up and talk to my friends later than I usually would on a regular schedule.

Q.Is there anyone you have become closer to because of COVID-19

A.I’ve become a lot closer to my family and I’ve been able to bond with them a lot more. I also have been able to keep in touch with all of my friends, which I’m thankful for. I believe that even though I can’t see my friends, our connection can become much stronger again once I’m able to see them.

Q. When do you believe will go back to normal life?

A.I don’t know when life will go back to normal, but I hope sometime around summer. I don’t think it will ever be the same again, but I’m hoping that it will be safe to see the people I love sooner or later.

Q. What do you want to do after COVID-19 passes?

A. I want to explore so much of the world after COVID-19 passes. I can’t wait to see all the things I’ve been missing out on, and do the craziest things with all of my friends.

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.

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

Where do you see yourself in five years?           I see myself in college, maybe in France or somewhere else in Europe.  What are your aspirations in life ?            I hope to be a doctor and make a lot of money.    What do you value more economic wealth or happiness?           I would like to say happiness but to be honest economic wealth is what I value more. If you could choose a dream future what would be in it?                 Probably living in Portland or Europe, living in a big house with economic freedom to do what I                want too. I would also like to be a doctor.
