[Student Reporters] Changing Seasons Bring Rise in Colds

In April 2011 the number of students who caught colds dramatically increased in Asia Pacific International School (APIS) due to the influence of rapidly changing seasons. Although flowers started to bloom and forests once again found their colors the overall health of APIS students has weakened. Ms. Julie Jung the school officer stated that the statistics show more students were absent because of sickness in April than students did in March. Also according to the research approximately five students caught a cold in a single class and one or two students missed school due to the sickness. Ashley Chang, a victim of the influenza said "I had a horrible time and I still have not recovered." The trend also influenced the nurse room. Ms. Kim the school nurse claimed "Use of Tylenol and fever reducer greatly increased in this month." How are the changing seasons making people vulnerable to viruses? The answer comes from the huge difference of temperature between day and night. Our body uses up more energy than usual to adjust to the rapidly changing environment and when our stamina weakens it provides a perfect environment for viruses to flourish. Therefore we should try to prevent colds during the change of the seasons with five simple strategies… 1. Washing hands frequently 2. Exercising regularly 3. Getting deep sleep 4. Ventilating regularly 5. Wearing warm clothes However make sure you are not socially isolating your friends just because they caught colds!

[Student Reporters] Going Camping for Calculus and the Great Outdoors?

Rivers flowing through the mountains snow falling throughout the day trees in every direction. Most people see these sceneries only when they are camping not when they are studying for AP exams. AP Calculus students at the Los Angeles Center for Studies held a Calculus Camp on April 7 to 10 to study for the exam. Most students study individually or sometimes in small study groups. However at the Calculus Camp students all gathered in the cafeteria and cabin in a larger study group. The camp was arranged by the Calculus Club and many students found it to be helpful. Ruby Kim sophomore said "It was more fun than I expected because we got to ask each other questions and benefit from them." Kim believes that the camp helped her get more attention than in a classroom and learn from her peers. Everyone can benefit from using this method of studying because they can review by teaching others and learn new things from others. The Calculus Camp was also a unique way of studying because students were able to enjoy camping with their friends while learning. It was not as tedious as studying regularly because they were able to do activities like hiking between the study sessions. Kim said "Calculus Camp is very hard to manage so it's impressive how it was managed at LACES. Other schools might not have a club that arranges it." The camp was a special experience for students at LACES because they got an opportunity to enjoy Calculus while studying for the exam. The camp itself consisted of busy schedules for each of the four days. Kim said "I didn't realize that I could get so much studying done in one day." These schedules helped students benefit the most from the camp by encouraging them to work hard every day. Many students like Ruby Kim who attended Calculus Camp think that it was an effective way of studying for the AP exam. Other schools can also use this method of studying to help students get higher scores on the AP exams.

[Student Reporters] Batting Hunger at the LA Foodbank

On the morning of April 30th 8 members of the Make-a-Wish club of North Hollywood High School gathered at the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank in order to aid in the war effort against hunger. The Make-a-Wish Club which specializes in various volunteer services joined 100 other volunteers at the Foodbank in a food sorting session to give back to the community and to gain community service hours as well. "I think that if we're benefitting from being a part of this society we should always give something back" said Jessica Lee a junior and the President of the Make-a-Wish Club "There are a lot of people out there who can't even afford to buy food and it's our job to help them by taking part in the efforts to organize and distribute foodstuffs to these people." Since the daily amount of work needed at the Foodbank far surpasses the amount of work the employees and staff are capable of providing volunteers are always welcomed. "I don't think the Foodbank could run and do its job without its lovely volunteers" said Kate Cook a staff member responsible for aiding the volunteers at the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank "Volunteers are always appreciated in such settings." Responsible for sorting out and throwing away inedible rotten fruits and vegetables while picking out and organizing the fresh ones the volunteers spent 4 hours filling up countless crates with comestible produce By the end of the session the members of the Make-A-Wish Club covered in fruit and vegetable juices were filled with high spirits and left greatly satisfied with their work-knowing that their efforts would help many families in need overcome some of their difficulties. "The feeling of satisfaction that comes from this kind of volunteer work is overwhelming" said Richard Ban a sophomore member of the Make-a-Wish Club. Ban and his fellow members of the Make-a-Wish Club felt that experiences like these were necessary in order to help shape a better person and a better community and that such efforts to help those in need were small but crucial steps toward developing a more ideal society.

[Student Reporters] Home-running through the frist 2 years of YLHS Baseball Team

“History Starts Here” certainly describes the first baseball teams of Yorba Linda High School, considering that YLHS baseball teams were established in 2009. So far, these teams have onl won two games. However, within the past two years, Freshman/Sophomore, Junior Varsity, and Varsity players have worked very hard in settling their first teams, building the bases for their followers. In years 2009-2010, Fresh/Soph and JV players competed at the Varsity level. Now, the same players are playing in the Varsity League. Overcoming this very competition, Coach Stein praises, “Mentally and physically, we have grown tremendously. We’re facing guys through a lot harder than what we saw last year, consistently.” Coach Stein says that these baseball teams support a philosophy: “Faith, family, education, and baseball. The first three are the priority. Baseball is a privilege, not a student’s right. So the students have to understand how to prioritize their things in life, how to understand that education comes before baseball. But they also have to understand that when they come out to baseball, we expect them to work harder to do practice, [to] take the time to enjoy it because it is a game, and to carry over their experience from practice to game situations, and then to be able to react under various situations calmly” After two years of coaching these teams, Coach Stein proudly reasons Joe Walls as the most consistent offensive player, Tommy Dedrick as the most consistent defensive player, and Trent Paddon as the most contributing pitcher. According to Coach Stein, “Besides having the facility built on time and properly, getting the young men to come together and to work together as a team” was the hardest challenge that he had to face. The proudest moments in the past two years were “the first Varsity when the players were able to achieve, not that I as a coach, but the first varsity win, and watching all the kids achieve at their best possible level.” Coach Stein confides that what makes this team special is the “nineteen men roster that we have wearing the uniforms.”

[Student Reporters] Raising Awareness about the North Korea Crisis

Last Friday on April 29 the Liberty in North Korea (LiNK) chapter at Glen A. Wilson High School hosted a free film screening of a documentary called "Hiding" after school. The film was about a group of North Korean refugees hiding in China and their attempt to find freedom in a safe country. North Korea is an oppressive regime ruled by Kim Jong-il. There is no food or freedom. Millions of civilians die from hunger and people are sent to concentration camps if they oppose the government. North Koreans escape to China with hopes of finding food work and freedom. However living in China is not any better because North Korean refugees have to hide from Chinese officials who send them back to their country to face torture or execution. Also almost all North Korean women and children fall victim to exploitation and sex trafficking in China. Liberty in North Korea is a non-profit organization that rescues these refugees and resettles them in South Korea or the United States. $2500 is needed to rescue one refugee. The funds provide food medical care shelter transit and other expenses along the way. The Wilson LiNK chapter was the first chapter to raise over $2500 in the spring semester. A refugee was already rescued thanks to their fundraising efforts. Naomi Du vice president of the LiNK chapter and senior said "My experience this year has been very very amazing. I got to meet so many new passionate and motivated people who do everything they can to support our cause. I just have so much hope for our chapter because from here we can only improve and grow." LiNK Nomads or representatives from the organization came to the screening to speak about the North Korea refugee crisis sell t-shirts and ask for donations. Katie Voytastek a LiNK nomad said "We are traveling storytellers. We raise awareness about the human rights crisis going on in North Korea and in China with the refugees. We go around to different schools churches colleges and just anyone who wants to listen. We show them films about the North Korea crisis and get people inspired to do something for this issue." After the screening Kathie Tang a sophomore said "The screening was really really good. The nomads talked people listened and they made a difference."
