Arbizu to serve as principal at Aragon BY AMELIA HARRIS

Copy Editor

After serving as an assistant principal at Burlingame for the past six years, Valerie Arbizu plans to transition to Aragon High School next year to serve as principal there. Arbizu has been in the San Mateo Union High School District (SMUHSD) as an administrator for the past eight years but has never worked as a principal before. In her time at Burlingame, Arbizu has worked with the teachers and counselors to improve the student support systems. Based on her work, Burlingame is now one of the leaders in the SMUHSD for helping students with needs varying from academic help to wellness counseling. Junior Elisabeth Weimar recalls Arbizu always being supportive, offering to let Weimar come into her office if she felt anxious or needed someone to talk to. In par-

ticular, Weimar noticed how easy Arbizu is to talk to, noting that she is easily intimidated by adults but she felt that she could come to Arbizu for help without feeling intimidated. “She’s such a compassionate person and she feels for all of the students. So I think we’re losing someone who is the best at relating to how people — how the students — feel,” Weimar said. Arbizu feels that after working as an assistant principal for the past few years she is ready for a different experience, but emphasized that she cares about Burlingame. “After you’ve been someplace for a while you start to look out over the hedge and go… ‘What’s next? What’s the next challenge?’ For me, I feel like I’ve been an assistant principal,” Arbizu said. Arbizu is looking forward to the new challenges that Aragon will bring but says she will miss interacting with the people at Burlingame and getting to know stu-

Online Advanced Placement (AP) testing began on May 11, and students have mixed reviews about the College Board’s solution to standardized testing in the age of COVID-19. While over 90% of respondents on a College Board poll following school shutdowns said they wished to participate in online AP testing, student opinions have widely shifted when faced by the reality of online AP tests. “It’s definitely stressful having to do everything in an hour and make sure everything uploads in time,” senior Cecilia Lunaparra said. “It’s a big change from before, so teachers that have been doing this for years don’t know what to expect either.” Students who went into testing with low expectations were not surprised by the College Board’s improvised set-up. “It went as well as I could’ve hoped,” senior Brendan Creeks said. “It was stressful airdropping pictures of my answers to submit for the physics test because it failed the first time, but then it eventually worked.” For some students, however, the online AP tests are more than a source of testing stress. Many students experienced glitches and errors with the uploading process that yielded their tests as invalid. These students must then apply to retake the test in June, an unpopular decision among many. “It wouldn’t let me attach my

file in the format it was in so I spent a bunch of time converting it,” senior Lucas Gilmour said. “After that, when I went to submit it, it said ‘submission processing’ for multiple minutes up until time ran out and they told me I would have to sign up for a makeup since one of my responses were not recorded.” This experience is not uncommon among the pioneers of online AP test takers, as the College Board reported that about 1 percent of the 2.2 million tests taken during the first week experienced technical glitches that resulted in an inability to submit. “I heard about many students having submission issues. I felt really bad for those students; they did all the work and it went to waste because of no fault of their own. I was really disappointed when the College Board announced on May 18, the first day of the second week of testing, that students were able to email responses that had submissions issues as a backup option. While I do think it is good that the College Board came out with this change, this option came out a week too late,” senior Zoe Keeley said. The backlash from students taking the College Board’s online AP tests is high; a class-action lawsuit has even been filed in federal court. The suit, which calls for over $500 million in compensation and damages, claims that the College Board knowingly went forward with the site, even though they knew there were glitches in the system.

letter from the editors

To our readers: Hello and welcome to the last issue of The Burlingame B for our 20192020 school year! Our May issue has always been one of our most popular, as it contains the annual senior map which shows the future destinations of our graduating class. Historically, this last issue has always had a focus on our departing seniors through features and profiles, as well as the indepth news articles and other aspects that compose The B. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have all had to make sacrifices and adapt to the new situations we face. Because of the mandated shelter-in-place protocols and school shutdowns, our staff quickly realized that we would have to think outside the box when it came to our publication’s

future in a post-COVID-19 world. Over the last few months, our staffers have been working tirelessly to pump out content for our website and media platforms, keeping The Burlingame B alive and well in its digital format. However, for our last and most popular issue, we decided that we would produce one final physical paper for the graduating class of 2020. Because of the unique circumstances we find ourselves in, we felt it was only fair that this last issue focus on the graduating class, who have missed out on various senior rites of passage as a result of this national emergency. In this issue, we’ve included profiles of the seniors who responded to our polls, features of students who will be playing competitive sports in college

and photos from events and experiences that impact seniors currently at home. And, of course, we’ve included the senior map. We hope you enjoy the final product of all of our hard work. As editors and longtime members of The B, the publication of this last issue has been bittersweet. Even though we are experiencing something entirely unique and extreme in its own way, saying goodbye has always been hard. As we all depart to our futures after Burlingame, we wish the graduating class of 2020 all the luck in the world. Congratulations—we did it!

Seniors’ advice for incoming freshmen BY ANNIE SUN

Senior Reporter

Take classes that you are genuinely interested in.

CLASSES

COLLEGE

Do not overload your schedule with Advanced Placement courses just because they “look good” on transcripts. Manage your time well and study but don’t bend over backwards trying to get an A. Find your passions and just pursue them; stop trying to build the perfect profile and do what you love. Don’t do everything just for colleges because there is no “formula” to get in anywhere. Don’t stress if you don’t have the best grades or scores because colleges look at personality more. Be involved in different clubs and teams at Burlingame.

EXTRACURRICULARS

Volunteer because you love to, not to get into college. Find internships in order to try new experiences and figure out what you want to do in the future. Extracurriculars will help you meet new people.

FRIENDS

Meet new people and make more friends. Don’t just stick to your middle school friend group. Don’t stay in studying when you can go out with your friends because high school goes by too fast, and you’ll remember the memories you made with your friends instead of a test you failed. Take up every opportunity to do what you want so that you don’t have regrets.

LIFE

Be proud of everything that you have done. Don’t stress about life or grades because everything will truly work out in the end even though it won’t seem like it will. Take risks and have fun because high school is trying to find out who you are and making the most memories.

SONJA DOMMEN BY TYLER IDEMA

Senior Reporter

After a stress reaction in her lower right leg, Sonja Dommen’s final cross country season almost came to an abrupt end. However, after being inspired by Olympic steeplechase runner Colleen Quigley, who also dealt with injuries throughout her career,

Dommen was able to bounce back from her injury and reach the finish line at the State Championships in her last high school cross country race. Dommen will continue to utilize her unmatched running spirit at Boston University for both track and cross country. “I think the aspect of running that always has me coming back, even after injury, is definitely the people. In cross country

and track, the workouts push you to such a raw, vulnerable state to the point where you can barely talk, and you need to rely on your teammates for encouragement.” Although the abundance of talent in the NCAA will make running at the highest level of the sport difficult, Dommen will continue to challenge herself and spread her love for the sport.

Kyle Botelho will be competing in Division 2 Wrestling at San Francisco State University while studying for his degree in Kinesiology. Botelho, who has been a member of Burlingame Wrestling since his freshman year, will miss the camaraderie of his team. “My Favorite memory at BHS was the first day of my freshman year when

everyone was meeting new people for the first time and seeing the big seniors walk along side you in the hallway,” Botelho said. “I understand the real world will not be as nice and forgiving as BHS, so I will know what to expect.” While the long-distance learning during quarantine has been difficult for Botelho, he maintains a positive attitude. “I, like many, am very uncertain of what is going to happen next, but we just have to be positive,” Botelho said.

While Moniz-Witten doesn’t mind online classes, he wishes he could spend more time outdoors and with friends. “I really miss playing baseball and my teammates... I can’t wait to play baseball again,” Moniz-Witten said. Once quarantine ends, Moniz-Witten plans to get back outside and on the baseball field.

Louis Tang has announced his commitment to swim at St. Andrews University in North Carolina. A prominent member of the swim team, Louis Tang exhibited a lot of potential at Burlingame and is carrying it onto the next level. Exhibiting true passion for swimming, Tang describes it as a driving force in his life. “[Swimming] made me the

better, inspired, and motivated person I am today,” Tang said. Looking forward, beyond swimming at St. Andrews Tang plans to major in animation and studio art. He has big plans for the future, both in the pool and outside of it. “I also want to inspire the world and tell my story, and help others get through life as well,” Tang said. Tang will look to make a big splash on the St. Andrews team, and is a force to be reckoned with in the water.

level of play, and reach her full potential in volleyball. While she was mainly an indoor volleyball player for a long time, Sharp wanted to practice her serve receive skills, which influenced the start of her beach volleyball career. “One of my coaches knew that Stanford had always been my dream school and she told

me “I can see you playing for Stanford.” That’s kind of when I realized that I can be just as much of a beach volleyball player as an indoor volleyball player.” With a good 2020 recruiting class, Sharp is confident that Stanford can go up in the rankings and is looking forward to becoming the best player she can be.

Brendan Creeks, Burlingame’s top distance runner for the past couple of years, has decided to commit to Lewis & Clark College where he will continue to run for the cross-country team. “One of my favorite memories was the first and only dual meet we had before the track season was canceled. There was a lot of energy and

the whole team was supporting everyone that was competing. I was lucky enough to end my high school athletic career by setting a new personal best of 4:35 in the mile, as well as being part of the relay team that dusted South City in the 4X400,” Creeks said. Although it was disappointing for Creeks to miss out on most of his final track season, he did get the opportunity to run for both cross-country and track all four years of high school.

Heading off to Chapman in the fall to continue his water polo career, Mason Rossi has earned plenty of accolades in his 12 years of playing the sport. At just six years old, Rossi tried out water polo as an alternative to swimming, and the rest was history. Rossi’s breakthrough in the sport came when he was accepted onto the Stanford Water

Polo Club team when he was only ten, earning him multiple trips to the USA Water Polo Junior Olympic Championships which comprises some of the best water polo players in the country. “I think water polo in college is definitely going to be different,” Rossi said. “The NCAA rules are much different especially from the past year. I’ve seen the level of play and it’s different, but I’ve also played with some of the guys who are at the college level.”

I am looking forward to meeting new people and creating life-long memories. Something I will forever cherish about BHS was spending all the ‘lasts’ of my senior year in high school with my friends,” Condon said. “Whether it was Friday Night Football games, Little Big Game, rallies, parties, Mr. Gnass’ econ class, softball season, it

was a year that I will never forget.” The softball season was suspended in its prime after shelterin-place protocols were established across California. However, Condon maintains a positive spirit about her final season at Burlingame. “Although it was cut short, the time I spent leading up until then had made BHS a home,” Condon said.

Sophia Young has committed to Lewis and Clark College for soccer, with plans to study environmental studies. Her last four years on the Burlingame soccer team have been spent well, and she has collected numerous memories. Her favorite memory was winning CCS this year, adding a

nice sentiment to her senior year. “The past four years have taught me many valuable lessons which has helped shape who I am now,” Young said. Even during quarantine, Young has not slacked off her game. She spends her days walking, going to the track and doing her school work. That said, she can’t wait to start her freshman year and begin her collegiate career.
