SLAMedia is a publication of the news for the Science Leadership Academy community. Writers come from the student body in 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. We work in unison to create a functioning paper with biweekly postings on a variety of events.
In this final Friday Spotlight, I interviewed senior Harper Leary on her experience with the college process: the challenges, the emotions, any factors that may have influenced her choices along the way, and finally, advice that she has for any rising juniors, just starting out on the college application process.
Since Season 1 of the Rocket Record podcast ends here, I sincerely hope a rising senior will feel emboldened to continue this podcast. I look forward to its continuation!
Decision Day is here! I thought this would be a great way to end Season 1 of the podcast, and to ask three seniors—Dinah Soloway, Navlea Wang, and Amber Mitchell—how they are feeling, where they are going, and what advice they have for rising juniors and seniors; as the former begins the college process, and the latter prepares to leave.
At the end of the podcast, I asked Dinah, Navlea, and Amber who they’d like to thank for their time at SLA, either teacher or student.
Please enjoy Science Leadership Academy junior, Mila Rosario’s, video short on several topics involving compliments and brightening a person’s day.
As we head into the first months of Spring, I thought it would be nice to instill some warm, positive feelings in students as the final months of school approach. I talked to freshman Jake, seniors Navlea and Eric, and junior Frayen about something that made them smile, and a compliment they would like to give to someone at SLA—student or faculty.
They complimented their friends, family, and the school as a whole. Eric said he was happy to be interviewed in the first place, because he was glad “people want to hear what I’m feeling.” I think this episode shows how the little things can really brighten a person’s day.
Mila Rosario’s video short for last week’s theme on book recommendations: “Books are universal, they come in different languages, genres, old or new there is always a book for someone out there. This video shows what different people prefer to read, setting from person to person or reader to reader… enjoy hearing about people’s fav books in this short.”
