The Viewpoint

() () One thing we must come to the realization of is that change is inevitable.

As much as we like to pretend that we can stay in our own perfect, little bubble world for our entire life; sadly, it is not always true. Eventually each person will have to undergo some type of change in their life, whether it be drastic or simple, sooner or later.

The reasons as to why we resist change have been generalized and summed up.

We like to stay in complete control of our lives and change is not necessarily in our agenda. As for that, the best things in life that come to us are usually never expected, whether it be concrete like a person, or abstract like a frame of mind. The point is, amazing things can happen to you when you least expect it, you have control of how you react and use the change to benefit you rather than tear your ego down.

We also resist it because the idea that nothing will be the same can be terrifying. Most people are so timid to venture out of their comfort zone and open themselves up to something new.

One of the most common reasons people use for resisting change is fear of failure. With change comes the need to

adapt and sometimes we can’t. You either thrive under this change, or you fail (although things aren’t always so black and white.) Along with failure, comes learning and experience which leads to more success in the end.

We must always remember that we cannot control the changes that miraculously happen to us, but we can control how we react and accept the change and use it as experience rather than shield ourselves from something different.

Having a solid group of people around you during a change helps steady your balance when you might not be as strong or confident.

Community students

Some people do it for the recognition and others do it to help their community. It’s time for Mountain View’s silent heroes to get some recognition. by Alex Harrington and Zane Gobie After countless hours of time spent helping their community, four Mountain View students should get the recognition they deserve. The definition of a volunteer is a person who performs a service willingly and without pay. These students are perfect examples of the true meaning of volunteer.

Najwa Qadeer volunteers at Margaret Brent Elementary as a type of mentor.

She goes into the school and talks to students about how their day is going and asks them how they are feeling. “Basically [you] let them feel special because a big high schooler is talking to them ,” said Najwa. Theory of Knowledge teacher, Byron Hoover’ s wife is a counselor at Margaret Brent and offered volunteer positions with some teachers for community service hours.

Kahlyn Bell volunteers at the Multiple Disabilities room at Mountain View.

Kahlyn helps enhance motor skills by playing games with them, or for the ones who have the ability to do work, they do simple worksheets and activities. “I also volunteer in special ed rooms at the elementary school and there I work with kids by reading books, and helping them with activities,” said Kahlyn. She first started volunteering because of Learn and Serve class, but then found a passion for working with children that have special needs. Kahlyn hopes to continue with her volunteering after high school is over.

Lauren Zane volunteers with the Princess Boot Camp program. She works as Princess Lahela, telling kids about Hawaiian culture and showing them how to hula dance.

Gabby Murphy volunteers at Margaret Brent for the Be Our Best club (B.O.B.) Gabby helps the kids focus on behaving better in school, so that they can do their best. Gabby said, ” I really enjoy helping others and giving back because it helps me reflect on all that I’ve been taught and how fortunate I am to be where I am.”

Runner Biographies

Miles Gordon Senior Miles Gordon continuously shows promise for the Boy’s Varsity Track and Field Team, contributing to the 4x800 team’s success.

Gordon has fairly high standards for himself, hoping to go above and beyond in the events he runs in. One of his biggest accomplishments has been repeatedly ranking first in the 5A division for the 500.

“I just look at where I want to go, try my best to get to that point, and then I go a little bit farther than that,” Miles said about setting his goals for the season.

Outside of school, Gordon has been running since third grade, participating in numerous 5K’s since then. He has been running Track and Cross Country since seventh grade, making this his sixth year running competitively in high school.

“My mom had been a very competitive runner when she was in high school and college, and I think I just wanted to follow in her footsteps.”

In the fall, Gordon is debating on either going to Penn State or Ohio State to study cybersecurity. At the moment, he doesn’t plan on running competitively in college due to the amount of time he is going to dedicate to his major, but he is definitely considering club running.

Jacob Mccabe “If you told me two years ago that I was going to be running track and cross-country and running year round, I would have told you you were crazy.” Senior Jacob McCabe has been running for two consecutive years competitively, but before that McCabe had not been expecting to start running competitively. “I got injured from another sport and I transferred over because my mom said I had to do something and then I got attached to the team, got attached to basically the close knit community that I really enjoyed being a part of.”

In track McCabe looks up to many people ,“My mom got me into the sport. My mom was a runner in her years in high school so I definitely look up to her. I definitely look up to my coach, Coach Davis, Tirone who is phenomenal too, and Porter really helps as well. The whole team is also a big motivator. “ When asked what the greatest advice he was given, McCabe said, “Never quit on yourself, and never really give up on yourself or your team because in the end your teammates, your family, they’ll always be there. They’ll always be there to push you even when it gets hard.”

Connor Weed Junior Connor Weed has been running since seventh grade and seems to show great potential for Outdoor Track as Indoor Track comes to a close.

To get ready for the season, Weed does interval and distance training. Interval training is a very fast paced, short distance run. Long distance training is a slower paced run for a longer distance.

When asked what the greatest advice he was given, Weed said, “when it starts hurting, go faster.”

Weed is a fairly strong runner, proving himself at numerous running events for, not only Track and Field, but road races as well. However, his form has caused him to be slightly slower than he’d like to be.

“There is a particular way of running involved, and fixing my arm movement would make me faster, he said.”

Weed plans to run division one in college level track, and he would like to major in either nursing to become a nurse anesthetist or a stockbroker.

Henrik Anderson Junior Henrik Anderson first realized he wanted to start running in seventh grade and has been running competitively running since eighth grade. His interest in running was not surprising since both of his parents ran in college, so it wasn’t a surprise when he wanted to run said Anderson.

His earliest experiences with running include breaking the school record in the third grade. “In third grade I broke the school record that was set by a fifth grader, which was pretty impressive but it wasn’t fast or anything but I just know I’ve wanted to do it ever since and I’ve just kept with it,” said Anderson. He also remembers a cross-country race he did while he lived in London for four and a half years that was the first race he had ever done.

Anderson’s inspiration is his dad due to fact that he ran in college. “I get all of my advice from him, he’s like my biggest fan and I’m kind of his biggest fan and I just aspire to break all of his times he set in college and high school,” said Anderson.

Eat, sleep, run track The team has bonded over multiple exercises and meets, which allows them to have a lot of trust in each other.

“I think the most important part of the 4x800 is that we have just such a sense of kinship and camaraderie among us and that’s why we are able to do so well. We all want the best for each other, and we don’t want to let each other down. I’d say that’s one of the reasons we are able to compete so well,” said senior Miles Gordon.

The biggest challenge is the mental block runners can get, explained Junior Henrik Anderson: “the mental block that running always gives you is because it’s hard to go out there and run. It’s easy to go out there and compete, but getting a good time is a lot harder. You can go out there and race against everyone and you can race well, but getting the times you want is the hardest part.” The mental part of running is important because long distance running requires a runner to run while tired, so a runner has to want to continue running and push themselves added Anderson:”There’s no breaks, there’s no timeouts, no quarters so you can’t just stop you have to keep going no matter what.”

The boy’s 4x800 has placed fifth in states and qualified for nationals.

“I’d say a big strength [of mine] is that I have a pretty good mental game. I know how to go out and [recognize] if others go out faster, they’ll eventually die off, and I’ll catch them.”

“We all help each other, we all work together try to push each other to out best potentials and just being part of that team makes me really want to push and strive to be better”

“[Some of my greatest accomplishments are] winning conferences and being a six time conference champ as a team for the 5K, 4x800s, and 4x400s.

“The mental block that running always gives you because it’s hard to go out there and run.

Like it’s easy to go out there and compete but getting a good time is a lot harder. ”

On pointe Dance is often seen as an elegant form of art, but for the ladies of MVDT it’s a chance to make bonds they will cherish forever. by Krissy Poff Bottom right photo pro-

alftime comes and the crowd cheers as MVDT takes center stage, but behind the makeup and dazzling costumes lies so much more.

The bond between a team is a crucial element; these bonds are often ones you keep for a lifetime.

If you partake in any aspect of social media it’s no secret that the bond between MVDT is unbreakable, with tweets between the teammates popping up by the minute. “It’s really fun being on the team because everyone on the team is really weird, and it’s never boring with them,” said junior Hannah Cruzan. They didn’t start their dance careers knowing this was in store, and now dance is seen as a blessing in disguise.

Starting out, these ladies had no idea this is where hours of dance class would leave them. “I didn’t have a choice when my mom signed me up, but I wanted a hobby,” said senior Jasmin Barrios. While they come from various dance studios, MVDT brought the ladies together. “We’re almost like a real family; we spend so much time together,” said sophomore Natalie Frampton. With any sport it’s crucial that team members learn to trust one another and are able to trust the person running, or dancing, a long side of them.

Not only does MVDT dance alongside each other, they also spend countless hours outside practice together.

Success is inevitable when a team is not only able to trust each other, but also when memories and laughs are shared amongst each member. “My favorite memory thus far had to be my freshman year when they kidnapped me for an initiation sleepover,” said Frampton. Through memories such as this, the ladies of MVDT were able to create a bond that allows them to look at who is dancing next to them and know that they can truly rely on each other to catch them when they fall. While also trusting one another, the ladies have also learned to be themselves around each other. “Last year before Nationals we did a scavenger hunt and one of the tasks was we had to take a picture with a duck, but we couldn’t find a duck so we all started sending a video to her and it was just all of us quacking around,” said Barrios.

With Nationals right around the corner, extensive hours of hard work are necessary to keep up the reputation of MVDT. Cruzan placed first in her solo at nationals last year, and this year she is pursuing the same goal and hopes to bring a title back to Mountain View. “I’m expecting long nights of practicing and even longer nights of practicing,” said Frampton, “but I believe we can win without a doubt.” Sore feet and hours of sewing costumes are part of the journey to Nationals, and The View is supporting the ladies on their journey to victory.

The growing concern over police misconduct has prompted questions about those who protect citizens. by Michael Goffus Trayvon Martin. Tamir Rice. Michael Brown. It seems like every day the news tells us about how police killed an unarmed person without reason.

We’re taught that police are there to protect us, but do they really keep us safe?

The Law Dictionary defines police brutality as “the use of excessive and/or unnecessary force by police when dealing with civilians.” According to Cop Crisis, a police officer kills an American Citizen every eight hours, and 1,202 Americans were killed by police officers in 2015. However, less than one percent of police are indicted for these killings.

Police are trusted to protect and serve the public, yet so many officers have abused their power and brought harm on to citizens and civilians. Given that millions of police officers serve the public properly every day, officers who commit crimes should not be disregarded just because the majority is following proper procedure.

Police brutality first gained fame in the media after Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old black teenager from Sanford, Florida was shot by a neighborhood watch member in this own neighborhood.

According to CNN, neighbors had notified police about a suspicious figure in the streets, simply because Martin was wearing a hood. Neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman responded to the call and was instructed to not leave his vehicle or approach the person. Blatantly ignoring his instructions, Zimmerman approached Martin and shot and killed the teenager claiming it was “self defense,” even though Martin was unarmed.

Zimmerman was initially charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter, but was found not guilty by a grand jury.

Zimmerman’s story became very controversial and was met with scepticism from both Trayvon Martin’s family and the public. According to Reuters, an international news agency, Trayvon’s father Tracy Martin was skeptical of Zimmerman’s self-defense claim, since Trayvon was unarmed teenager in his own neighborhood. Many members of the public believed that Zimmerman racially profiled Martin the day he murdered him.

In response to the murder of Trayvon Martin, a movement called Black Lives Matter was created.

According to the official Black Lives Matter website, “#BlackLivesMatter is a call to action and a response to the virulent anti-Black racism that permeates our society. Black Lives Matter is a unique contribution that goes beyond extrajudicial killings of Black people by police and vigilantes.” The group has made its presence known by spreading #BlackLivesMatter across social media and by taking part in protests against the oppression of black people. The group also fights against sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and violence towards black people.

On February 12, Mountain View received a call threatening to bomb the school. Meg Athing, the front office receptionist that received the call, said, “I was the one who answered the phone. The person on the other end of the phone made a threat and said we have twenty minutes to get out of the building.” The school resource officer was then notified of the call, followed by Dr. Jim Stemple and the assistant principals. In order to retain order and have account of all students, students were sent back to their classes before being evacuated out of the building. Students were first evacuated to the school’s football stadium, but were later moved to Margaret Brent. This was Mountain View’s first bomb threat.

Despite protests and calls for change against police misconduct, the violence continued after Martin’s death. On August 9, 2014, unarmed 18 year old Michael Brown was shot and killed by a Ferguson, Missouri police officer. According to the official report issued by the Department of Justice, after being confronted by officer Darren Wilson for stealing a package of cigarillos from a convenience store, Brown fled from the officer to avoid arrest.

After being chased in to an alley, Brown stepped towards Wilson, and Wilson shot the teenager 12 times, killing him.

The shooting quickly caused unrest in Ferguson.

Both peaceful and violent protesters came to Ferguson to speak out against police brutality and the shooting of unarmed citizens. In an attempt to control the chaos, Ferguson police set a curfew on the city. Months after the shooting, a grand jury decided not to indict Wilson for the murder of Michael Brown on the grounds that Wilson was acting in self defense.

Despite the huge media coverage of police brutality cases, there have been no recent changes to the police misconduct laws. According to official Department of Justice website, police misconduct laws make excessive force, discriminatory harassment, false arrests, coercive sexual conduct, and unlawful stops, searches or arrests illegal for all officers of the law. With these laws in effect, it seems that officers like George Zimmerman and Darren Wilson should be serving time in jail, yet both walk free. The rate of indictment for police officers is a staggering one percent. This means that 99 out of every 100 police officers that are violent towards civilians will not face charges for their actions. In order to help end the violence from police, new laws need to be put in place to punish officers for misconduct.

Why does it seem that officers are allowed to murder unarmed teenagers and avoid jail time if they claim it was self defense? Officers should not be above the law. If an officer kills unjustly, they should be prosecuted and punished just like anyone else would be. Question why there are so many victims of police brutality. Question why there are so few police serving time for misconduct. Question why there are so few laws targeting police misconduct. Question the system. Question everything.

On February 19, a New York City Courtroom fell silent. Judge Shirley Kornreich gave her decision on the Sebert vs Sony case.

Did she free Kesha?

wikimedia.com

Free Kesha

by Sarah Yakulis Kesha Rose Sebert, known publicly mononymously as Kesha, has been deep into a legal battle with Sony and her former producer Dr. Luke since October 2014. Kesha sued Dr. Luke for sexual assault and battery, sexual harassment, gender violence, emotional abuse, and violation of California business practices which had occurred over a span of 10 years working together. The lawsuit was filed after Kesha’s departure from rehab for an eating disorder, one that she says Dr. Luke was a primary cause of. What Kesha and her lawyer are asking for is to be freed from her six album contract deal with Sony.

Sony has profusely denied all allegations of sexual assault or unfair treatment of any kind against Kesha. Dr. Luke denies this too, even posting on his Twitter page that Kesha was like a little sister to him and he would never have sex with her, much less rape her.

The tough thing in sexual assault lawsuits tends to be a lack of evidence.

This case fits that mold. Besides a disturbing tweet and a birthday card, the case has virtually no proof. To thicken this plot even further, Kesha’s lawyer Mark Geragos seems to be too involved in celebrity drama and popular culture. Lady Gaga, one of the many celebrities showing support for Kesha, said during an interview with Howard Stern that she feels deeply about this case since she herself was sexually assaulted by a former producer. Who is a former producer of hers? Dr. Luke. Many people made this connection on their own and speculations gained popularity on social media. Geragos shockingly came forward and accused Dr. Luke of raping Lady Gaga.

This was an allegation she quickly denied. Whether or not this was a correct accusation, many people have found it odd for a lawyer to accuse the defense of something with no evidence and not claimed by his client.

It was widely predicted that Kesha would be freed from her contract.

The general public and community on social media joined together to show support and even started a GoFundMe to help Kesha with court costs.

On February 19, 2016, Kesha’s case was seen by judge Shirley Kornreich. Her fans traveled from all over the country to stand outside of the court and show their support. It was widely predicted that Kesha would be freed from her contract. The general public and community on social media joined together to show support and even started a GoFundMe to help Kesha with court costs.

Even though Kesha’s allegations are against Dr. Luke, her lawsuit is filed against Sony Music Entertainment, as that is who her contract is with. After a long awaited verdict, Judge Kornreich ruled in favor of Sony. Her reasoning behind this verdict comes from Sony’s offer stating that if Kesha agrees to finish her contract, she won’t be required to work with Dr. Luke as her producer. The judge states that the case is a civil suit, not a case of contract infringement. Since Kesha is still technically being given the opportunity to record with Sony, there is no reason she should be allowed to break the contract.

Social Media exploded after the ruling. The hashtags #FreeKesha and #SonySupportsRape trended for almost a week. Kesha has stayed out of the public eye since the decision, while Dr. Luke has taken to Twitter to defend his name and his brand. Dr. Luke’s tweets have not presented much substantial evidence, instead saying that he could never be someone to rape, because he has a sister and insulting Kesha as well as her lawyer.

Many public celebrities have shown their support to Kesha, as well as many giving generous donations. Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande, and Miley Cyrus are amound these stars. The GoFundMe page created to help break Kesha from her contract has raised almost $25,000 in individual donations. Through Youtube and Instagram, Kesha has praised and thanked her fans for their support.

Regardless of the truth or fairness of the verdict, Kesha’s case as raised many questions, concerns, and talk about sexual assault in the music industry.

Into the workforce

Within the classrooms, Mountain View students are building a foundation for their future careers. by Reagan King

Cosmetology The cosmetology course offered is pretty self-explanatory in that it trains students to work in the field, but many do not know the extent of the training offered by the course. This elective course is a $20,000 education that these students are getting for free because they are starting early on their career.

Students go through the process of learning the different hands on techniques and then fulfilling state mandated hours of each specific task in order to receive their certification. Upon completion of the course, students walk away with their state license and can go right into the workforce.

Many students take advantage of the opportunities offered by the course to use the skills they have learned as a backup plan for the future or as a way to pay for further education.

“Students can not only go straight into the workforce, but they can go onto college and do this as well. I’ve had students who have used cosmetology to pay for their college so when they graduated, their college was paid for,” said cosmetology teacher Colleen Nicoll.

Cosmetology II juniors Jennylynn Johnson and Marissa Simons both plan on going into different careers but are taking the course to have a safety net after they complete their college education. Both have also recognized the application of what they have learned in cosmetology to their other classes.

“When learning how perms work you have to know the chemistry behind it and what you can and can’t do, so it definitely applies to other subjects,” Johnson said.

The usefulness of the certification has provided the opportunity for a career that will always be available.

Culinary Arts The culinary arts program goes beyond teaching students how to make a decent meal to feed themselves during their independent years of life. It teaches them how to act and build a foundation for a career in the business.

Before diving into the recipes and cooking techniques, students prepare to take the ServSafe test at the beginning of the year. They learn basic food safety practices for preparing and serving food and every restaurant is required to have at least one chef with this certification on staff at all times.

The class then moves on to learning the cooking techniques and beginning to run the MV Cafe. They get the business experience by preparing the meals and then serving their customers. In doing this, they are practicing their professionalism, kitchen etiquette, and the fast pace at which the industry moves.

Students have the ability to go straight into the workforce or continue their education in culinary arts. With the education they receive in this program, they can bypass certain courses and graduate earlier to move into the field faster than their peers.

“The qualification to get into the culinary institute is you need six months of experience in a real kitchen and that’s what I’m getting right now,” said junior Tre Mullins.

This course has turned home cooks into professionals and possible entrepreneurs. It has given students high expectations for a career in culinary arts and their training has made these goals realistic.

“I plan to go to college for business and then hopefully, in the future, open my own restaurant one day,” said senior Shaina Rousseau.

The possibility of a future career in the culinary arts is exponentially greater because of the program. Students have the opportunity to not only learn how to be a chef and attain the skills, but also be a member of the culinary field. february | march 2016 q the viewpoint EXTRA q 11
