The students were tasked to craft a story about a famous threesome, be they historical, whimsical, or from the kitchen cabinet. MINGO…takes us below the surface of SpongeBob’s weird world, delivering a clever button of an ending The last thing I remember is going to bed at 3:00AM after what could have been 6 or 7 hours of doomscrolling.“What is this place?” I think to myself. I had expected the hallucinations to catch up with me after  nights with no sleep, and my phone centimeters away from my eyes. I didn’t think a hallucination could be this lifelike. It could very well be a dream, but this place feels so real. I could feel the chill of the water, and the sand below my feet. I had been so busy trying to comprehend where I was, that I tuned out all the screaming in the distance.  “I’M READY, I’M READY, I’M READY!!”  And there I see him, a bright yellow sponge. He has the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen. It's about now that I realized I was just standing on the walkway, I need to go talk to him, I need to talk to SpongeBob.  “SpongeBob!” I project my voice as much as I can.  “Oh hey! I didn’t see you there. Do I know you?”. When Spongebob speaks to me, I see he has buck teeth, a Krusty Krab hat, and he wields a spatula.  “No you don’t, but I know you.” I said while also wondering how I can breathe and speak underwater, “I am from the surface, you...

My name is Mohamed. I’m sixteen years old, the class of 2027, and before I tell you about myself, I want you to picture something. Imagine a basketball player walking into the gym. He ties his shoes. He bounces the  ball and takes a couple form shots. To someone seeing this, it looks like a normal boy in a plain t-shirt, getting ready to train. But, in his mind he’s wearing a jersey. It’s stitched with his dream school’s name across the front. He sees the colors and the number even though nobody else can. That’s me. Every time I step on the court, I wear a jersey no one else can see. Some people call it imagination while others might call it delusion. I call it belief. I was born in Mali, and I came to the United States around the age of 6 or 7. That’s an important part of who I am because it shaped the way I see life. Coming from a place where not everyone has opportunities, I understand that every chance I get here is a blessing. My dream isn’t just me either. It’s about the people back home, my family, and anyone who’s been told their goals are impossible. When I grind, I’m not just chasing a future for myself. I’m caring the hopes of the people who may never step on a court in America. The people who may never have the chance to chase something this big. That’s what fuels me. I’m sixteen and about six foot- six one...

Well, well ,well… you guys only know me as E or Ethan but you guys don’t know who I really am you guys don’t know all of my other identities. I won’t get into them all but ill give some background. The two I will get into are Jobita, and Jemadari. Even though they are my two last names they have two totally different meanings. Lets start of with Jemadari, for the basic meaning its a general or hero its origin is Swahili and Hindu. Speaking of Swahlili I am from Tanzania, but my grandfather came from Afghanistan. But not going to lie thats just the basic my role as a Jemadari is being a role model to my younger ones. I am the eldest son, I am close to my little brother. But I mainly like to stay to myself when I am with the Jemadaris I am not really as talkative as much. I get my music taste from the Jemadari side, and for a fun fact I am the tallest on the Jemadari side.  Now for the Jobita side its the complete opposite. I am a different person on that side. For some starters I am one of the shortest males on that side. My uncle is 6’5, and my grandfather is 6’0  so you see how my fathers height interferes with my mothers. On the Jobita side I am more talkative I am very close to my mom, and my aunty. I love to shop, I love to have fun, I just...

      During the summer I was able to spend a lot of time in my own personal solitude. For       those who don’t know, solitude is the state or situation of being alone. I was able to learn more about myself ,and in turn learn more about others. I don’t know if you all remember but recently the class was talking about favorite subjects. Mine personally is psychology ,but it used to be  government. During the summer my interest in psychology rose. It was a consistent wonder of who I am and why I do the things that I do that peaked my interest.  I’ve always been a really caring and empathetic person. Some people have even called me hypersensitive ,and I honestly couldn’t disagree. But the more I think about it, I was raised that way. When I was younger I often spent time with my grandmother because my mom was working a lot to provide for me. For those who don’t know my grandmother is a very caring and strict individual. I remember always asking her questions about anything, and I learned many important things from her. The most important thing that I’ve learned from her is that it’s okay to allow yourself to be emotional ,or to allow yourself to feel. I think today we live in a society that normalizes suppressing your emotions. I have met so many people who describe themselves “nonchalant” without really knowing what that means.  I’ve also learned suppressing your emotions is pretty useless because eventually they’re...

In the year 2008, fireworks were bursting and my mom was in the middle of labor. I eventually managed to climb my way out. And ever since then my mom has told me the same story for every fourth of July. During my infancy I was never alone. There is a fella in this room who was born a month before me. Karla is basically the opposite of me. She is outspoken and loud while I am kinda quiet and obviously nonchalant. She is short while I am tall and the list can go on. But that’s enough about her.  Ruth is my other cousin. We both had gone through a little emo phase during middle school but those times are in the past. We mostly play random games on Roblox or I am calling her in order to yap her ear off.  I have two younger brothers and they are lucky to have such a patient brother like myself. They may seem like nice kids, but when they are in the house that all changes. They start to yell and argue with each other. Even though Matthew is 12 and Jeremiah is 5 they always end up fighting.  My favorite sport is soccer and the best team is obviously Barcelona. I have managed to recruit Matthew into liking Barcelona but Jeremiah is a lost cause. His father has made him a Real Madrid fan. I hope he can recover soon and join the right side.  One of my favorite activities is definitely eating. I love to eat...

Inspiration—a topic each student approached with a unique blend of creativity and emotion. QUINN transports us to LA’s Skid Row to find it. What is inspiration, and where can you find it? Most people are inspired by their parents or other role models. Others are inspired by others' failures in a desire to be better than they were. Inspiration is defined as “the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially something creative.” If you think about it, you can find inspiration anywhere. You can find your inspiration through art or music or speeches. You can also find inspiration through drugs or alcohol or hurting others. So now you understand how important it is to find the right kind of inspiration.  I saw a short documentary from a guy who does this series. The series includes interviews of random people he finds on the streets, I guess. Most of them have similar issues. The channel on youtube is called Soft White Underbelly. The one that stuck out to me most was about a woman named Rebecca… a transgender woman struggling with addiction living on Skid Row in Los Angeles, California. I can’t exactly remember how this interview came to be. It seemed like the interviewer had seen Rebecca on the streets often. Anyways, Rebecca spoke about how she grew up in New York. Her parents died when she was young, so she was in and out of foster care. She said nobody really wanted her because she was trans. Eventually, at only sixteen years...

Inspiration—a topic each student approached with a unique blend of creativity and emotion. KHORI uses the vision of the Khori she wants to be years from now. Inspiration.. something that we all want, something that we all need. In my life I've been inspired by many things, but my biggest inspirations are my mom, my best friend ,and the most important inspiration is my future.  My mom inspires me so much and she doesn’t even realize it. She shows great resilience and compassion.  My mom grew up very poor in the city. She never had time for herself because her mom was always working and she had to take care of her brother. On top of all the struggles she faced, she still was able to get into Western and go to college. She maintained good grades and she was just overall a really smart person . Then she faced another really hard obstacle, which was me!  My mom had me in college and she didn’t know what to do. On top of having a baby she was able to still go to college and get a job. She ended up saving her money and moving to the county where she was able to raise me and take care of me. It’s really just me and my mom since my dad and other siblings don’t live with me. Whenever I need something, I turn to her. I may argue with her and disagree with her a lot but that will never change the fact that I love her...

Inspiration—a topic each student approached with a unique blend of creativity and emotion. JORDAN finds it in a heavy metal drummer with a big heart. I’m inspired by a lot of things. I connect with the way lines are drawn on a piece of paper, the feeling of anger or sadness from colors on a painting, and the weight of a clay sculpture. In the past year, there’s been one person that inspired me the most. His name is Joey Jordison and he used to be the drummer for Slipknot. Since I grew up as Christian, I used to think that something bad would happen to me if I started listening to metal music, like I wouldn’t go to heaven in the afterlife. I was scared of metal because I was taught that it was evil. I was scrolling through the internet one day and I found this show on Netflix. It’s called Aggretsuko and it’s about a red panda named Retsuko who has an average office job in Japan. People in higher positions treat her like she doesn’t know anything and insult her at work. Some of her co-workers constantly annoy her by giving backhanded compliments or invading her personal space. She gets rid of her stress by venting through death metal at a karaoke bar. Watching a few minutes of the show made me pause for a moment. I could relate to this character because she bottles up her emotions and acts as a doormat for other people at her job. I started watching the show...

Inspiration—a topic each student approached with a unique blend of creativity and emotion.  LYRIC experiences it through the portals of the cartoon & movie multiverse. Cartoon creators, voice actors, and movie actors really inspire me. I have always wanted to do voices of cartoon characters and act in shows and movies. I feel very inspired by how creative people can be when they make cartoons and movies. I want to be like them some day, creating cartoons, doing voice acting, and being a movie actor.  I am specifically inspired by Disney and Nickelodeon voice actors. I want to be a Nickelodeon voice actor doing different voices from different cartoons, this is a dream job that I would never get tired of because I'm doing the things I love the most. But let's stop talking about reality inspiration and get fictional.  There I am in the cartoon and movie multiverse going through portal by portal, meeting the characters of cartoons and movie actors that inspire me the most. I ended up in the Guardians Of The Galaxy movie where I see the character I've been waiting to meet for decades. there he was! Drax, the one and only! He saw me and came up to me saying “What are you doing here? You’re not supposed to be in space.” I told him the backstory of me being a multiverse traveler, how he inspired me to be an actor, and how cool it was when he used to be in the WWE before he retired. I had a good time...

The students were tasked to write about DANGER. Hector told of the frightening time his then 3-year old brother wandered out of the house to explore the neighborhood. A three-year old was out and roaming the streets by himself. He had just learned how to walk and made sure to take advantage of this new found freedom.  My mom had gone to use the bathroom for a second and left my little brother downstairs. I was upstairs, minding my own business. My mom called out for me and she asked me if my brother was with me. I said no because I thought he was with her. I walk downstairs and see the front door slightly open. My mom started to panic and she rushed outside to find my little brother. She was so loud that it caused our next door neighbor to come outside and ask what was going on. My mom said that my brother had run out of the house and she couldn’t find him. My neighbor ran out of her house barefoot to help look for my brother. We all took different routes and I ran around half the block screaming my little brother's name. My heart was racing and, in that moment, I felt like I could run a whole marathon.  I asked this man sitting on the porch if he had seen him and he said he’ll keep an eye out. I kept looking and it ended up on me now finding him. Defeated, I walked back to my house and found...
