“This was my first year on staff. Coming into it, I didn’t know what to expect. After the first few issues, I learned a lot and really enjoyed being a part of

The Triangle.”

“This is my last issue, and it’s

very bittersweet. I am so glad I was a part of this staff. I’ll miss it way too much, but it’s time to move on to bigger things.”

We may have a reasonably full course catalog, but here are some classes that I truly think we should consider adding.

1. Poetry 101

A class simply about poetry. This class teaches the ability to properly express yourself. Through this, we grow as poets and as speakers and hopefully won’t have to rely on “non collegiate” words, as my English teacher puts it, to express ourselves.

2. Greek mythology

A lifetime could be spent studying Greek Mythology, but we’d have to settle for two semesters. An elective for English and history, students would learn about the legends and intricacies of ancient Greek culture. The practical use of this class will be learning ethics and life values. People have looked to the examples of the ancient Greeks over the years. Entire art movements have been started by the works of the Greeks. Classicism, anyone?

3. The Game of Life

Learn about business through Monopoly and strategy from chess. This would be an alternative to CARSS. We could integrate some tips about getting a job and the other things we learn in CARSS through more games.

4. Speech and Debate

Though we have a Speech and Debate Club here, I believe that the skill of public speaking is too important not to merit a class for itself. Speech skills are used throughout life: in job interviews, relationships, projects. Sadly,

this vital skill is one most feared by people all over the world, based on studies of national and international mental health institutes and governing bodies. Glossopobia, or fear of public speaking, tops the list of top ten global fears. Necrophobia, or fear of death, comes second. (www.speech-topics-help.com/fear-of-public-speaking-statistics) When people literally would rather die than give a speech, you know we have a problem. Besides, now students who can’t be here before or after school hours will have a chance to participate.

5. On the Spot

A student improvisation group with the sole purpose of giving impromptu performances in the hallways, be it musical or comical. A good pick-me-up for those dreary Monday mornings, this will be a useful way to harness the energy of those “super peppy” people whom we all know and love -- well, whom we know.

6. english TWO

Where we return to the purer form of proper English. We really shouldn’t need a class like this, but we do. Our level of speaking as a student body in general has deteriorated to the point where the only solution may be to learn English again.

7. Current events and Issues

Students will be educated on news-making events relevant to the era. Facts will be given in an unbiased form regarding subjects that are often given an alternate, inaccurate meaning. The purpose of this class will be to educate students so that in addition to being “book smart,” they will also be knowledgeable about the current events of the world, enabling them to participate in discussions without sounding ignorant; it is a much needed skill to survive anywhere in life.

NOT WaShING yOur haNDS. Please, I really want all those germs you came in contact with in the bathroom all over my pencil that you ask to borrow for a test or my iPod that you steal so you can play “Angry Birds.”

PeNS ThaT SmuDGe. I’m almost done with my very important document, and then it happens... giant smears from the pen that just won’t dry two seconds sooner. Or it could be the nervous twitches in my hand knowing that this paper could affect my entire life.

maLfuNCTIONING veNDING maChINeS. It has happened to everyone: you put in your dollar, the coil spins, and your food stops at the very edge just dangling right out in midair. “Do I shake it? Do I get a custodian? Can I reach it if I put my hand in there?”

rOaDbLOCkerS. A group of people make a wall in the middle of the hallway and walk as SLOWLY as possible. Why don’t you do us a favor and think of someone other than yourself? People have places to be.

eraSer ShavINGS. They are just a mess and annoying, especially if the person who sat at your desk before you didn’t brush his remains before leaving. The shavings are so little and get all over your paper when you’re writing. Don’t even get me started about when there’s a long math problem to do -- that’s asking for eraser shavings.

fLIPPIN’ fLOPS. When people step on the back of your feet is bad enough, but when someone steps on the back of your flip flops, it pulls the shoe right off your foot. And depending on how fast you’re walking, it could, and does, leave a huge scrape on your foot. OUCH!

Some things just really annoy us. Geordie Denholm, joined this time by

members of The Triangle staff, takes a look at pesky problems around here.

SINCe ThIS IS the last space of text I will have in the history of The Triangle, I have decided to go out in a blaze of literary glory. Please enjoy this allegorical and poetic account of my high school years.

Across the valley did we see, many a mighty enemy.They rode up and to the mountain tall,Where we stood ready for them all.Readying myself to fight their horde,As the wind atop the peak did roar,I met their charge with a cry,As men fell to the cold to die.Brothers and enemies all alike,Falling to their weaknesses and dislikes,I took many a heavy, deep wound,And continued to fight, hoping it to end soon.The battle then turned in our favor,As we put out fires we used to savor;Some men had joined the other side,We flushed them out and they all then died.The battle ended one merciful dawn,As a leader rose from a pawn,We celebrated each to his own,As houses rebuilt and crops re-sown.To this day I’ll always know,Where those men who fell would go;All I’ll say to you is this,Fight long and hard, or you’ll fall to the abyss.

I thank you all for reading my columns over these two years and appreciating all I have published.

I hope that whoever takes my place as opinions editor/main columnist takes care of your comical needs, as I hope I have.

I also hope that one day our paths will cross again, and I may yet have another story to tell each and every one of you.

I adore all of you, and wish you the very best. Many a great thanks and take care of yourselves.

The Triangle interviewed junior lucie Cyliax about her spending habits and saving for

her upcoming trip to france

The Triangle: how do you save money throughout the week on lunch?Cyliax: I try to bring my lunch a few days a week and make economic choices when I eat out.

The Triangle: it’s movie night! how do you save a buck but still see a flick? how do you usually see films?Cyliax: I get Red Box movies or watch movies on TV. I rarely go to the theater and if I do, I try to go to the yES Cinema because it is cheaper. I skip concessions when I go to the theater.

The Triangle: in what ways do you cut costs when shopping for clothes, shoes and jewelry?Cyliax: I never buy clothes full price. I generally shop at thrift stores or on the clearance rack. I don’t try on clothes out of my price range because I know I will want them if I do.

The Triangle: how do you get from point a to point b? What are your spending habits when it comes to transportation?Cyliax: I have a car, and my mom helps me pay for gas sometimes. I also use the money I make at Subway for gas.

The Triangle: how are you saving up for your trip to france?Cyliax: I record my spending in a notebook to be more conscious of it. I gave up my Starbucks habit, and I’m saving about $25 weekly. I also work more and have been fundraising. In general, I no longer buy on impulse and try to consider the value of small purchases like gum and accessories.

10 Ways to Save Cash

Want to know how to save as much moolah as possible? Try these dollar stretchers.

With continued budget cuts statewide, The Triangle sat down with Principal David Clark and found out North is in pretty good shape because of BCSC’s “Rainy Day Fund.”

“The Rainy Day Fund was put together so that we would have money in case we needed it,” Mr. Clark said.

Because of this reserve, class sizes are the only aspects that will be affected by the budget cuts.

“When teachers retire, we unfor-tunately cannot replace them because that money needs to be saved,” Mr. Clark said. “With fewer teachers, we will also have to increase class sizes by a small amount.”

According to Mr. Clark, North has lost a total of $600,000 in the budget both this year and last.

“To make up for the lost money, we can all do little things to save here and there,” Clark said. “We can close the doors while the heat is on, and turn the lights off when we leave the rooms, like the things you can do at home.”

Senior Jordan Cooper poses with his son, Phoenix. Cooper became a father at age

TEEN DAD SeNIOr JOrDaN COOPer wraps his arms around the most precious person and smiles into his eyes. He carefully strokes his almost hairless head and closes his eyes to let the words come out; “Hush little baby don’t say a word. Daddy’s gonna buy you a mockingbird.”

Cooper found fathering two-year-old Phoenix challenging at first. And his father, Chris Cooper, was surprised like any other father would have been.

“It was a shock, initial disappointment, but then acceptance and support,” Mr. Cooper said. “It’s my son and grandson, my love for them will never cease.”

Cooper’s parents made the mother, junior Sarah Kirts, take a pregnancy test to reassure the results the test came up positive. Kirts was afraid as predicted.

“She was scared; she did not want to have a baby,” Cooper said. “We talked and one time she said she wanted to get an abortion but then she decided not to. We just stuck to it. We had to grow up.”

Even though Phoenix’s parents

separated, they both agreed Cooper would see the child on Wednesdays after work, Fridays and Saturdays.

Cooper manages to keep studying, working and supporting his son. For him, going to school is not hard because his friends do not judge him, according to Cooper. He spends time with his child by going to the park and playing with him. His paternal nature is obvious when it comes to protecting Phoenix.

“Now it’s like a natural thing to me, like a father instinct,” he said. “We can be in the park, and he might be getting ready to fall, and I just reach out to him and get him so he won’t get hurt.”

Despite Phoenix’s grandparents’ astonishment at first, he has won their hearts with his remarkable personality.

“I love [Phoenix] to pieces; I see so much of his dad in him,” Mr. Cooper said. “He brings me joy when I spend time with him and look forward to seeing him every week.”

According to Cooper, having a child can be hard and stressful,

but being patient and calm always makes everything better.

“He is my world and he always makes my days better even if I’m having a bad day,” Kirts said.

Like Kirts, Cooper enjoys every second he is with his son. He relishes getting off work and picking his child up. When he is with Phoenix he sings to him and plays with him until the baby is satisfied.

“He is a really good kid. He is always happy,” Cooper said. “I mean, when he’s tired, he gets cranky. But other than that he is really friendly with everybody; he’s great.”

Cooper works diligently at his job, during school and at home when he is with his son. However, he still pays attention to Phoenix.

“Sometimes I’ll be doing something and he’ll call after me, ‘Dad,’ and I won’t hear him, so he’ll say it again but so much louder, ‘DAD!’ And I have to leave what I’m doing and concentrate and focus on him.”

Taking care of his son and being a good father has change Cooper’s life. He has learned

everything from changing a diaper to maturity. He has begun to see life with a perspective that many teens have not yet experienced.

“Being a dad has made me grow up faster. It made me mature,” he said. “It’s really fun to watch him grow up and see the new things he’s learning. He likes to say ‘Hi,’ ‘Bye,’ and ‘I love you.’”

Watching Phoenix grow up has not stopped Cooper from reaching his academic goals. After he graduates he will be attending Vincent University and majoring in criminal justice. Meanwhile, his attention is on supporting his son, come what may.

“I’m blessed, you know, you make mistakes, but once it happens you just have to keep your head up.” he said, “I would never regret it now and I wouldn’t change for the world, because he is my everything.”

SOPhOmOre kImber GOODIN shut her eyes. She held her breath for a moment and released it through her nostrils. Her heart beat with anticipation and her body trembled with fear. She hesitantly opened her eyes and felt shock fill her body as she stared down at the two pink lines on the test she held in her hands. Goodin was officially 15 and pregnant.

“I didn’t know how to feel or what to think about the fact that I was going to be a mom.” Goodin said.

On October 19th, Goodin’s pregnancy test confirmed she was pregnant. Two days after, she gained the courage to tell

her family.

“My dad cried and asked me why I didn’t plan the baby. My grandma and grandpa were disappointed in me.” Goodin said.

With her family upset at her, Goodin thought she could turn to the father of her baby. His involvement with her was unfortunately limited.

“The dad was there for four months after I told him,” Goodin said. “but then he just decided he didn’t want to be a part of the baby’s and my life.”

Goodin, now being a month shy of her due date, can still recall the feeling of being a single

future mom.

“When you’re pregnant and the father leaves you, you get the feeling that no one will ever want you now that you have a kid.” Goodin said.

Goodin experienced the hurt of abandonment that many teen moms feel. She felt relieved to have her friends to lean on.

“My friends have always been there for me and they didn’t let the fact that I was having a baby get in the way of our relationships.” she said.

Along with her loyal friends, Goodin soon discovered she had one more source of support; junior Jace Lane.

“I’m glad I have Jace Lane in my life. He’s a very caring, loving, and respectful person.”

The feeling was mutual.

“I will always be here for Kimber and the baby no matter what. I will love the baby as if she was my own.” Lane said.

“I don’t regret any decision I’ve ever made. She wasn’t a mistake and I will never say she is, but she wasn’t planned like I wanted her to be,” Goodin said. “I know for sure my life has changed, but I wouldn’t change a thing. From here on out I can only hope for the best.”

STAGES OF MOTHERHOOD

Goodin talks to her baby in hopes that May 14th she gives birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl. She plans on naming her daughter Trinity.

Reality Check

of pregnancy and a lifetime of parenting. We

calculated the approximate cost of a baby

for one year:

Bathing/Grooming: $41-infant bathtub- $20-baby washcloths- $10-brush and comb- $8-baby nail clippers- $3

Other: $1,129-safety gates (2)- $120-diaper pail- $25-disposable diapers: $72 per month

Food: $120formula $10 per month

Clothes: $708about $59 per month

Toys: $420about $35 per month

TOTAL: $3,383

Name: Erika Shaw, juniorShaw is the part-time mother of six month old Sierra Nichole and a part-time junior here at North. She shares her parental duties with 2009 North Graduate Dustin Dykes. Shaw’s life consists of school work and caring for her daughter. She plans on attending college in order to give daughter the best possible life. Though she struggles with her busy life, Shaw enjoys the positives of being a mother.

It’s the hardest thing I think I have ever done, but being a mom makes me feel like someone always needs me and wants me around.”

Name: Mayra Sanchez, juniorBeing a junior and the mother of two-year-old Roman Sanchez, she knows how to separate the time between school and her child. She stays focused in school and gives her full attention to her son. She teaches him both English and Spanish.

He is not taking anything away from me, he is not taking my youth from me, as some people say. He is my motivation to do well in school. Everything I do, I do it thinking of him. And every time I see him smile, it makes me feel happy and satisfied because I know I’m doing a good job.”

aDuT TONGWhaT ONCe WaS a country of gunfire and strained tensions, Sudan, Africa is the homeland of senior Adut Tong. Tong was born in Sudan, but ended up moving with her family to the United States when she was ten years old.

“It was scary and difficult to come over here. I remember we had to collect our money to bring it to America. I haven’t been down there because there was war. It’s been separating families,” Tong said.

With the ending of the Sudanese Civil War in 2005, Tong felt it was safe to return to her homeland. Sudan is a constantly changing place, but Tong remembers it well.

“Before, it was like here, but not all streets; like dust. Now, though, there are streets and restaurants like McDonald’s,” Tong said.

Tong intended on going back to Sudan after graduation, continuing her studies while overseas. However, with her pregnancy, Tong and her mother decided it would be best to stay in the U.S. Although Tong has had to change her plans, she is hopeful about graduation and the future.

“I’m going to study nursing at Ivy Tech,” Tong said. “I’m not sure yet how it’s going to work out, but I feel fine, excited and a bit happy.”

“I’m going to IU to major in legal studies and political science with possibly a fine arts minor. I decided to go to IU because of its fantastic law program and because I love the campus. Go Hoosiers!”

SebaSTIaN DavILaSeNIOr SebaSTIaN DavILa’S “college plans” are anything but traditional. Davila, who came to America from Mexico last summer to live with his uncle, aunt and cousin, is spending next year backpacking around Europe to figure out his future.

“I’m not sure about what I’m going to major in college, so I want to take one year to think about it and to travel to places like Germany, France, and Spain,” Davila said.

Davila, who plans to go with a group of three or four, already has contacts established and lodging prepared, thanks to the work of family members whose footsteps he is following in.

“Two of my brothers went to Europe and did the same thing before me, and they told me that it’s great, it’s amazing, that I totally should do it,” Davila said.

Davila has general ideas for his stay in Europe, but nothing definite. One thought is to work and move to a new country every two months, while another is to travel more often, but with less money. He might even stay in Europe if he finds the right college, but he said he will have Mexico to go back to.

“When I go back to Mexico this summer, I’m going to try to find colleges and set everything for when I come back from Europe so that I can go to Europe, travel, and not think about college anymore,” Davila said.

Although he may have arrangements back home, Davila hopes to keep the door open for any career or educational opportunities he might come across in Europe. Until then, it’s a regular European vacation.

“I just want to have fun in Europe, I won’t have any worries,” Davila said. “I don’t have to go to school, I don’t have to do anything. I think it’s going to be fun.”

vaNaND abeDIaNhe SaW TWO signs when he got off the plane. One said “Transit,” and the other said “Welcome to America!” Unfortunately, he didn’t know what either sign said because he couldn’t understand English.

Senior Vanand Abedian moved from Iran his sophomore year to live with his aunt and uncle in Columbus.

“I moved to America to get a better education, and so that I could live better,” Abedian said. “I also want to bring my family to America someday so they can be safer and have a better life, and so that they are closer to me.”

Abedian wants his family to move to America to live with him, but he is unsure if that will happen.

“I’m not sure if my family will ever move here, but I really hope they do,” Abedian said. “I miss them all very much and wish I could see them more often.”

When Abedian first heard the news about moving to America, he had bittersweet feelings. “When I found out I was going to move, I was really excited. I have always liked America, and I wanted to come and play football here,” Abedian said. “After I thought about it, I realized I would really miss my mom and dad, my room, my house, my friends, all my relatives and especially my sister, and then I got kind of sad.”

After Abedian made the transition, he settled in with his aunt and uncle. He has made many friends and can speak English. Abedian will attend Manchester College next year and will transfer to Indiana University his sophomore year.

“I am going to stay in America for college because it is the best option for me,” Abedian said. “By staying here, I will be getting a much better education than if I stayed in Iran.”

“I work at Cummins now for a school-to-work program, (where) I leave school half day and go to work. I’m hoping to get hired on as a TSS (Technical Support Specialist) and then work there and let them pay for my schooling instead of me paying for it. (Technical Support Specialists) help the technicians on the off shifts, that way they can get engine work done 24 hours a day.”

JOSh Carr

aS The CLaSS of 2011 nears graduation on May 28, most will be heading off to some form of secondary education, work or even the military. Senior James Kelly has different plans. Kelly will be heading to Trenton, New Jersey to pursue his hockey aspirations by playing for the Trenton Habs. The Habs are a part of the International Junior Hockey League and are the Mid-Atlantic Division Champions.

“I’m only going to be playing there for one year, but I’m hoping to get Division I attention by doing so,” Kelly said.

Kelly will not be out of the educational loop, however, as he will be taking classes at a community college in Trenton. Both Kelly and his parents are confident in his decision.

“My parents were very supportive,” Kelly said. “They wanted me to try and make something out of hockey rather than go straight to college.”

Kelly hopes to continue his hockey career over the course of his life as long as he can.

“By receiving a Division I scholarship, I think I can better my chances of making a career out of hockey,” Kelly said. “I love this sport.”

aDuT TONGWhaT ONCe WaS a country of gunfire and strained tensions, Sudan, Africa is the homeland of senior Adut Tong. Tong was born in Sudan, but ended up moving with her family to the United States when she was ten years old.

“It was scary and difficult to come over here. I remember we had to collect our money to bring it to America. I haven’t been down there because there was war. It’s been separating families,” Tong said.

With the ending of the Sudanese Civil War in 2005, Tong felt it was safe to return to her homeland. Sudan is a constantly changing place, but Tong remembers it well.

“Before, it was like here, but not all streets; like dust. Now, though, there are streets and restaurants like McDonald’s,” Tong said.

Tong intended on going back to Sudan after graduation, continuing her studies while overseas. However, with her pregnancy, Tong and her mother decided it would be best to stay in the U.S. Although Tong has had to change her plans, she is hopeful about graduation and the future.

“I’m going to study nursing at Ivy Tech,” Tong said. “I’m not sure yet how it’s going to work out, but I feel fine, excited and a bit happy.”

SebaSTIaN DavILaSeNIOr SebaSTIaN DavILa’S “college plans” are anything but traditional. Davila, who came to America from Mexico last summer to live with his uncle, aunt and cousin, is spending next year backpacking around Europe to figure out his future.

“I’m not sure about what I’m going to major in college, so I want to take one year to think about it and to travel to places like Germany, France, and Spain,” Davila said.

Davila, who plans to go with a group of three or four, already has contacts established and lodging prepared, thanks to the work of family members whose footsteps he is following in.

“Two of my brothers went to Europe and did the same thing before me, and they told me that it’s great, it’s amazing, that I totally should do it,” Davila said.

Davila has general ideas for his stay in Europe, but nothing definite. One thought is to work and move to a new country every two months, while another is to travel more often, but with less money. He might even stay in Europe if he finds the right college, but he said he will have Mexico to go back to.

“When I go back to Mexico this summer, I’m going to try to find colleges and set everything for when I come back from Europe so that I can go to Europe, travel, and not think about college anymore,” Davila said.

Although he may have arrangements back home, Davila hopes to keep the door open for any career or educational opportunities he might come across in Europe. Until then, it’s a regular European vacation.

“I just want to have fun in Europe, I won’t have any worries,” Davila said. “I don’t have to go to school, I don’t have to do anything. I think it’s going to be fun.”

vaNaND abeDIaNhe SaW TWO signs when he got off the plane. One said “Transit,” and the other said “Welcome to America!” Unfortunately, he didn’t know what either sign said because he couldn’t understand English.

Senior Vanand Abedian moved from Iran his sophomore year to live with his aunt and uncle in Columbus.

“I moved to America to get a better education, and so that I could live better,” Abedian said. “I also want to bring my family to America someday so they can be safer and have a better life, and so that they are closer to me.”

Abedian wants his family to move to America to live with him, but he is unsure if that will happen.

“I’m not sure if my family will ever move here, but I really hope they do,” Abedian said. “I miss them all very much and wish I could see them more often.”

When Abedian first heard the news about moving to America, he had bittersweet feelings. “When I found out I was going to move, I was really excited. I have always liked America, and I wanted to come and play football here,” Abedian said. “After I thought about it, I realized I would really miss my mom and dad, my room, my house, my friends, all my relatives and especially my sister, and then I got kind of sad.”

After Abedian made the transition, he settled in with his aunt and uncle. He has made many friends and can speak English. Abedian will attend Manchester College next year and will transfer to Indiana University his sophomore year.

“I am going to stay in America for college because it is the best option for me,” Abedian said. “By staying here, I will be getting a much better education than if I stayed in Iran.”

“I work at Cummins now for a school-to-work program, (where) I leave school half day and go to work. I’m hoping to get hired on as a TSS (Technical Support Specialist) and then work there and let them pay for my schooling instead of me paying for it. (Technical Support Specialists) help the technicians on the off shifts, that way they can get engine work done 24 hours a day.”

aS The CLaSS of 2011 nears graduation on May 28, most will be heading off to some form of secondary education, work or even the military. Senior James Kelly has different plans. Kelly will be heading to Trenton, New Jersey to pursue his hockey aspirations by playing for the Trenton Habs. The Habs are a part of the International Junior Hockey League and are the Mid-Atlantic Division Champions.

“I’m only going to be playing there for one year, but I’m hoping to get Division I attention by doing so,” Kelly said.

Kelly will not be out of the educational loop, however, as he will be taking classes at a community college in Trenton. Both Kelly and his parents are confident in his decision.

“My parents were very supportive,” Kelly said. “They wanted me to try and make something out of hockey rather than go straight to college.”

Kelly hopes to continue his hockey career over the course of his life as long as he can.

“By receiving a Division I scholarship, I think I can better my chances of making a career out of hockey,” Kelly said. “I love this sport.”

I WOKE uP June 7, and I was excited that the day was here. My quinceañera. Around one o’ clock I went with my aunt to get my hair done, but my mom stayed with my little sisters. Later, I got a phone call from my sister, Iannelli, saying that it looked like a river outside. When I went outside, it was normal and the sun was out. I couldn’t believe this was happening. I went with my aunt to my cousin’s house. There was no way I could go home, but my dress and shoes were all at my house. My dad had come all the way from Texas for my quinceañera, but he couldn’t get to me.

Half of my family was in one house and the other half was with me. The flood divided us. My aunt had told me that some people had made it to the party at the fairgrounds, but they were sad that we never got there. I was sad because this was going to be a great day for me. My family had spent a lot of money for the party, and it didn’t happen. The next day we went to clean up, and I finally saw how the place was decorated. People had taken some cake and decorations though, and everything was full of water.

SePTember 11, 2001. It was a nice and sunny day in Crestview, Florida. Senior Brianna Wolterman was having a really good day. In the middle of her school day, her mother pulled her out of school.

“I was really excited. Normally, the only time I got out early was because my grandma was coming,” Wolterman said.

“I thought it was a surprise. I had no idea the Twin Towers were getting bombed.”

Wolterman’s dad, David Wolterman, worked on the Eglin Air Force Base as a master sergeant. Because Eglin Air Force Base is the largest base in the United States, they were sure that they would be the next target to be bombed. The air force base was on lock down.

“When I entered the air force base with my family, I was freaked out and scared,” Wolterman said. “There were guys guarding the entrances with guns and large tanks. Before we entered, (the guards) checked our IDs and our car.”

It was a good day for Wolterman until her reality changed and she realized what was going on.

“Of course I was young, so I didn’t understand what was fully going on, but when I looked on the news and saw what was happening, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh. There’s a building falling down.’”

“Harry Potter is literally the best thing of my entire life. When the first book came out I wasn’t old enough to read it so my mom had to read it out loud to me. I’ve read all the books multiple times now and have seen all the movies. The messages that the book portrays everyone can relate to even if you’re not magical.”

“I remember my older sister read the books when they first came out and she really liked them. I started getting into the books when the fourth movie came out. I went to see it with my cousin and older sister and that’s when I realized that it was a good series and had good messages. I’m obsessed with all the books now.”

In 1997, the first Harry Potter book, “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s

Stone,“ (also known as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in the uS) was

released in the uK.In 1999, the book reached the top of

the New york Time’s best-selling fiction list. Now, with seven books, seven

movies (soon to be eight), countless items of memorabilia and Harry Potter

World, the Harry Potter theme park in Florida, our generation has been

dubbed the Potter generation.

“I’m a little nervous. I’m going to be in front of people, a lot of people. I’m not good in front of people. I know from cage fighting, getting in front of people is kinda easy, but not always because your heart’s still pounding. Graduation’s a lot different than cage fighting because when you’re walking up to the stage to get your diploma, you don’t know whether you’re going to fall or trip or something. Cage fighting is different. you got guys around you, and you’re not gonna fall because they’ll catch you if you do. So yeah, pretty nervous, and afterwards it will feel great to achieve something.”

SePTember 11, 2001. It was a nice and sunny day in Crestview, Florida. Senior Brianna Wolterman was having a really good day. In the middle of her school day, her mother pulled her out of school.

“I was really excited. Normally, the only time I got out early was because my grandma was coming,” Wolterman said.

“I thought it was a surprise. I had no idea the Twin Towers were getting bombed.”

Wolterman’s dad, David Wolterman, worked on the Eglin Air Force Base as a master sergeant. Because Eglin Air Force Base is the largest base in the United States, they were sure that they would be the next target to be bombed. The air force base was on lock down.

“When I entered the air force base with my family, I was freaked out and scared,” Wolterman said. “There were guys guarding the entrances with guns and large tanks. Before we entered, (the guards) checked our IDs and our car.”

It was a good day for Wolterman until her reality changed and she realized what was going on.

“Of course I was young, so I didn’t understand what was fully going on, but when I looked on the news and saw what was happening, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh. There’s a building falling down.’”

“Harry Potter is literally the best thing of my entire life. When the first book came out I wasn’t old enough to read it so my mom had to read it out loud to me. I’ve read all the books multiple times now and have seen all the movies. The messages that the book portrays everyone can relate to even if you’re not magical.”

karlY hiqueT

“I remember my older sister read the books when they first came out and she really liked them. I started getting into the books when the fourth movie came out. I went to see it with my cousin and older sister and that’s when I realized that it was a good series and had good messages. I’m obsessed with all the books now.”

In 1997, the first Harry Potter book, “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s

Stone,“ (also known as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in the uS) was

released in the uK.In 1999, the book reached the top of

the New york Time’s best-selling fiction list. Now, with seven books, seven

movies (soon to be eight), countless items of memorabilia and Harry Potter

World, the Harry Potter theme park in Florida, our generation has been

dubbed the Potter generation.

“I’m a little nervous. I’m going to be in front of people, a lot of people. I’m not good in front of people. I know from cage fighting, getting in front of people is kinda easy, but not always because your heart’s still pounding. Graduation’s a lot different than cage fighting because when you’re walking up to the stage to get your diploma, you don’t know whether you’re going to fall or trip or something. Cage fighting is different. you got guys around you, and you’re not gonna fall because they’ll catch you if you do. So yeah, pretty nervous, and afterwards it will feel great to achieve something.”

As the world prepared to ring in the new mil-lennium, companies and countries alike feared the technical “y2K bug,” a glitch in computer systems caused by rolling over from the ‘99 year abbreviation to ‘00. Cru-cial information including investments, personal information, loans and other valuable data were supposedly threatened. At the new year, crashes and errors were minimal.h
