Commentary 8
One Step at a Time By Adam Lamy
Curiosity has always been a part of my life. I’ve always sought what I can and can’t do. I tested my body’s physical limit. Whether it be learning to sing and play piano, or solving Rubik's cubes, I have always tried to see what I'm capable of.
A SHARP ‘KNIVES OUT’ COMMENTARY (Contains Spoilers) BY TIARA ROCHON
Knives Out radiates “Eat the Rich” energy. Those who have the money to go through with their power will only do so if it directly benefits them. The focus on the positive traits of a strong Latina lead sets a great example of the most powerful traits in women. Overall, Knives Out was ‘criminally’ pushed aside during awards season but only received the best of reviews for the topics they cover and the plot.
The Future Needs To Be Informed By Zach Preiss

SOCIAL MEDIA: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY By ROB PETRARCA

HOW YOU CAN SHOW KINDNESS TO THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY (Commentary) BY JENNA FARBER
Between middle school and high school, students begin to discover who we are and become comfortable with our identities. Be prepared if someone close to you is to ever come out to you, welcome them with love and understanding as they embrace who they are. If they are coming out to you, know that means they have a large amount of trust in you and a negative reaction could make them hesitant to come out in the future.
Get Knocked Down, Get Back Up BY Cole Ferguson
Looking back on it, everything happens for a reason. In my case, my failure making the basketball team made me that much more hungry to succeed. It taught me to never give up and to always turn the negative things in life into positives. I pushed myself to a new level, one where anything is possible, and my potential feels limitless. Making the freshman team wasn’t such a bad thing after all. After taking a shot to my pride and being a bit jealous of my twin brother, I learned that I am strong enough to keep going when the going gets tougher.

My hardships have inspired me to become a safe support for younger kids, allowing them to express themselves freely in my presence no matter how they identify themselves and encouraging growth in terms of their identity and the way they express it.
