Two weeks ago I was sitting in my room typing up an essay for English class. It was going fairly well, my fingers typing the words as fast as I could think of them. Then suddenly, I froze, my hands hovering above the keyboard. My mind blanked, and I thought to myself, “What do I do now?” This was... Read more »

Why do some people feel like violence is the only solution to problems? It doesn’t matter that only a very few percentage feel this way: the recent shootings in Tucson and at the Chandler Fashion Center have proved that it only takes one person to do a whole lot of damage.

What is Valentine’s Day?
Jacob Cordas & Grady Douglas
February 9, 2011
Point: In 3rd grade, students were required to buy Valentine’s Day cards for the class. Problem was they came in packs of 28 but all my classes had 30 students. Back then, I was a nice person so I would go out and buy an extra-pack so as not to leave any students out. This left me with 26 extra cards.... Read more »

It’s so easy to coast through life, living day by day with no specific plans in store. However, is that really how you want to live your life? Trying to survive the days until the weekend, or just doing the minimum amount of work until graduation? Kind of depressing, isn’t it? It is so important... Read more »

People usually associate grey clouds with gloominess and sadness, but for me an overcast sky brightens up my day than a bright, sunny day. Weird, right? Especially considering we live in a desert state that has an average of 325 out of 365 days per year of clear, sunshiny days. I’m prone to more smiles... Read more »

From Nov. 10-13 approximately 80 students, predominantly from Corona but accompanied by 15 Marcos de Niza students, participated in activities, lectures and bonding exercises centered around unity, diversity, and leadership at AztecTown camp.

Life as an actor
Jacob Cordas
November 3, 2010
Friday I was standing behind a trapdoor as the characters from Clue wander through the house searching for the killer. The lights dim and the Motorist began her phone conversation. That is when I make my move. I slide the trapdoor open and in my black morph suit kill the Motorist before she is able to... Read more »
