Two Months of Cherished Memories With Angel

By Alice Yang

 

After two months of teaching human anatomy class, Mr. Guerrero Angel, the substitute for the incoming teacher, held a small farewell party with the seniors in B block, cherishing the two months of happy memories.

Due to the absence of the incoming teacher, Mr. Riffey, who was supposed to be teaching the class, Mr. Guerrero substituted to teach in these two blocks of Human Anatomy.

Ever since Mr. Guerrero became a substitute for this class, the students, composed of all seniors, had experienced attentive and enjoyable class learning environments through intriguing laboratories and activities.

A vibrant, relaxed class environment and atmosphere have been created through having class activities such as sunscreen lab comparing the level of skin protection of each different sunscreen brand, a "skincare" activity trying out a facial mask and blackhead packs and review games helping the students to learn and prepare for upcoming tests.

As Sean Park (12) says, “One of the activities I enjoyed the most in Human Anatomy so far was whenever we played Kahoot as a class. I liked how competitive everyone was to be in the first place. High intensity made the Kahoot more interesting. Also we not only reviewed through Kahoot, but we were able to learn new things because some of the questions were unexpected, such as questions on concepts we never learned. But those questions helped me to get a better understanding of Human Anatomy as a whole. In the end, it was worth it.”

Moreover, the seniors got to have exposure to intriguing facts and knowledge about the human body parts, bones, and skin. Most importantly, these labs and activities further brought greater joy and motivation for seniors to learn better.

An unforgettable moment of playing fun games in the last few minutes of each class, such as musical chairs, heads up, seven up, mafia, and Kahoot quizzes about Disney music, helped the B block seniors and señor, Mr. Guerrero,  to bond stronger. Through this, the seniors were able to spend a good first two months of the senior year learning the human body in various ways while also making good memories.

On the 9th of October, the last day before fall break, the B block class held a small farewell party for their "angelic" teacher, Mr. Guerrero, as means to show their gratitude and appreciation for the previous two months of teaching. With a board written 'goodbye Mr. Guerrero', two small firecrackers, Dorothy Koay’s (12) baked chocolate chip cookies, and a bag of pretzels, the seniors and Mr. Geurerro spent the last day of class playing games cherishing the memories.

When the last minute of class left, with a class group hug, the seniors ended the last class with their angelic teacher, Mr. Angel Guerrero.

DINGBAT DALAT STUDENT SPENDS PRECIOUS TIME CONJURING UP SELF-REFERENTIAL SENIOR SCRIBBLE RATHER THAN GATHERING LEGITIMATE WORK

Yusoof Monawvil PENANG, MA - As the deadline drew near and the stars aligned in the night sky above the majestic waters of the Strait of Malacca, one particular Dalat student—Yusoof Monawvil (12), despite a plethora of school events to select and report on—opted instead to spend a remarkably well-wasted 24 minutes staring at a blank Google Docs page, fruitlessly drawing up and shooting down brainstormed ideas.  In a moment of sheer and undeniable epiphany, Monawvil deemed it only fitting to self-referentially satirize his own ingrained incompetence and dingbattery. Commenting on the flash of insight, Monawvil quoted himself, saying: “It all just kinda made sense. I went on DISCourse to look at the little rubric thing Ms. Grad and Mr. Hieber posted, and I checked if I was following all of the guidelines... And I technically am/was; [N]ot like there’s any specific direktive [sic] prohibiting self-quoting.”  In a turn of events, Monawvil did come to find his self-quoting en...

"Spikeball, Swimming, and Sickness: The Remnants of Senior Sneak" by Ee Rynn Ong

“Guys, I think we’re here,” said Jonathan Ooi (12) as he peeked out of the lorry to catch the first glimpse of our Senior Sneak location. This year’s Senior Sneak was held in Nomad Adventure, Gopeng, and the organizers planned many activities for the Class of 2026, ranging from traditional games like congkak and batu seremban to adrenaline-pumping ropes courses and whitewater rafting. These scheduled activities proved to be some of the best highlights of the trip, but top of that, the seniors were also given some daily free time to chat, explore, and relax. Josh Stevens (12) had come prepared for this with two spikeball nets, which immediately attracted attention from people eager to spend time in the outdoor sun. The next five days saw spikeball veterans and newcomers alike, spending their precious one and a half hours daily around the unassuming circular net, smashing the yellow ball in hopes of a victory.  Caleb Evans (12) was one of the newbies to spikeball, learning how the g...

“I Miss Her” by Nikhil Pillay

While most people had a fun week for mid-semester break, whether it was spent with family, or with friends on impact trips, no one had a more emotionally confusing week than Judson Kenneth Robert Nosker (12).  In the light of recent events, Judson, despite all odds, had gotten in a relationship with one of his classmates, and as the break started, he had started to spend a lot of time with her. While with her, he started to experience a new level of joy and completeness that he had never felt before. In the words of Judson Nosker, “The first half of the break was good, but the rest of it was horrible.”  The reason for such a quote and the roller coaster of emotion was because half way through the break, disaster had struck. Judson’s girlfriend had gone on a trip with her family to Thailand, leaving Judson all alone. For the rest of the week, Judson was in a state of longing for her presence.  His friends have reported numerous occasions when Judson would be sitting with t...
