Indian culture has been showcased as sophomores perform numerous dances last February 5
Correspondents: Zyriel Josh Coronel and Jed Palonpon Indian culture has been showcased as sophomores perform numerous dances last February 5. Included in the performance of the Grade 8 students are Marathi Indian Folk Dance, Pasoori, Bharatantyam, Bole Chudiyan, and more. “The final outcome was amazing for us. Even though there was a major technical issue, that did not stop us from successfully executing the dance. Everyone was amazing and very cooperative, and we’re proud of ourselves. Though, some of our members should’ve given all of their energy,” a student shared when asked about their experience. In a Facebook post, Music and Arts teacher Charlene Otazu commended the students for the successful conduct of the program.
Time flew by so quickly, it hasn’t sunk in that I actually survived 2024.
Time flew by so quickly, it hasn’t sunk in that I actually survived 2024. Hey, Diary! It’s me again! It’s been a couple months since I last wrote to you, it’s just that things have been so hectic. This rollercoaster-like quarter has tested me in so many ways I never knew were possible— PETAs here, assessments there, and groupworks everywhere! I genuinely thought I wouldn’t get past it. But, I did. I CAME to school on time, prepared to breeze through any quiz or surprise recitation that came my way, because I made sure to read my notes and watch lecture videos. I stood up and continued to bravely walk my chosen path no matter how many times I tripped and CRIED due to the obstacles I faced in life. Most of all, I welcomed every single day with a renewed determination to not let any situation CONQUER me, because I am stronger than any challenge. If I were to describe these past three months, I’d say it was harsh, demanding, and formidable. But at the same time, it was exhilarating, fulfilling, and inspiring. Amidst the tall walls and dark clouds, were sprouting seedlings and colorful rainbows. As I welcome the hopeful promises of 2025, I know I’ll continue to grow, explore, and reach my fullest potential. Self, just believe you can and you’re already halfway there! Let’s make it ‘til the end of the school year! Sincerely, Pascian 2024-2025
It’s okay to feel lost
Caption: Yasmine Resse RoselLayout: Carl Carasco and Ana Celso It’s okay to feel lost. It’s okay to not have everything figured out. Life isn’t a race, and everyone moves at their own pace. Just because others seem to have a clear path doesn’t mean you’re falling behind. Dreams don’t always come to us fully formed—they take time, experience, and self-discovery. If you find yourself unsure of what lies ahead, take comfort in knowing that uncertainty is not a sign of failure but a phase of growth. Embrace the process, explore different opportunities, and allow yourself to make mistakes and learn from them. Every step you take, even the small ones, brings you closer to where you’re meant to be. For now, be patient with yourself. Keep moving forward, and trust that your path will unfold in its own time.
