It is not uncommon to chase your dreams. In fact, it is encouraged by many. While it may prove to be difficult, persistence pushes through. Senior Alexandra ‘Allie’ Swartz knows about persistence, and has worked it into making her life in order to chase not only her dreams, but her overall success. She takes pride in being an active part in her community; being the president of National Honor Society, has ran track for four years, done cross country for two years, and is a member of link crew and student government.

regards. “I know Allie will do amazing in life, or anything she puts her mind to,” said Drumm. “She is confident, persistent, and when she leaves Northwest, she leaves all her ideas here for our future.” Drumm began advising The Green Club in 2018, but has known Swartz since she began partaking in student government in 2015. Allie Swartz has proved not only her efficiency, but her determination and potential as well. While she may be leaving Northwest High School now, her ideas and influence will remain for years to come.

Physics teacher says farewell after thirteen years

Northwest High School and the educational system as a whole is losing one of its family members after this school year. For those who do not know, this will be Mr. Menegay’s last year teaching at Northwest. Menegay has been a teacher for thirteen years and spent most of that time teaching physics or physics related classes. His first eight years of teaching he would often times arrive between 5:00 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., totaling around 60 hours of work each week. “I am retiring from teaching because I no longer have the energy to maintain a high quality of instruction,” said Menegay. “I hope to move onto a career where I can still help people improve Ph oto their lives.” By :A ria na It is that high level of instruction that has led many students to regard Ko ke r Menegay as one of the best teachers they have ever had. Students admire how Menegay is able to articulate such challenging curriculum into relatable information. “He’s the kind of teacher that makes you want to go to his class,” said Senior Zach Sommers. This years senior class especially has enjoyed learning under Menegay. They feel as though he prepares them for the next step in life, whether that be college or straight into the workforce. “They’re on the threshold of adulthood and knowing what life is going to be like and I want to help with those plans,” said Menegay. It takes a lot of dedication and grit to be a teacher, let alone teach at a high level for as long as Menegay did. The best types of teachers are not the ones who can just teach curriculum well but also act as life coaches for students, providing valuable advice. He would like wrap up his teaching career with a quote from Theodore Roosevelt“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”

Miller loved getting to know Dakota and his hilarious personality during the 2019 season. “He is a great leader and made practices and games more fun than I thought possible,” said Miller. “Not only that, but he is such a good athlete and excels in both baseball and hockey.” Madaline “Madi” Hernandez was recognized by track coach, Ron Woodruff. Hernandez was said by Woodruff to have brought hard work ethic and leadership to the team, as well as uncomparable enthusiasm to improve. “My favorite memory of her was when she fell during Shot put and landing right into the mud.” said Woodruff, “Also, laughing at her when she attempted to do a real push up.” There were many great senior athletes in the class of 2019 that have made a positive difference in Northwest High Schools athletic program, as well as in the school halls.

Amanda Anspaugh, head volleyball coach, would like to recognize Olivia Piepkow for varsity volleyball and her determination that brought the team together. “Olivia has a drive and determination about her that is evident in school and her sports.” said Anspaugh, “She’s extremely coachable and a great teammate. But most importantly, she faced adversity head on and returned to a sport she loved after being off a full year and that was a major factor in our success this past season.” Trent Metcalf was recognized by Joe Fredrickson for varsity boys soccer. Fredrickson and Metcalf have been playing soccer together for seven years, and have have played varsity soccer together for three. “I’m really going to miss talking to him all the time and the friendship we have,” said Fredrickson. “And I am especially going to miss his ability to completely lay people out on the soccer field.” Sydney Shafer was recognized by sophomores Mary Crowley and Mallory Anspaugh, for varsity basketball. Both Anspaugh and Crowley admired Shafers passion for basketball and how great of a person she was, on and off the court. “The thing I’ll remember most about Sydney is her competitiveness,” said Crowley. “Every-

Following the family footsteps Joseph Haddad plans to attend The University of Michigan Ariana Koker

Senior Joseph Haddad has made the decision to further his education by attending The University of Michigan fall of 2019. Haddad has always aimed for a great education, and specifically in state. “Michigan was a top priority for myself,” said Haddad, “It is the best public education in my mind.” Haddad has put a substantial amount of work into his academics, and is currently in four AP (advanced placement) classes. With a difficult schedule in his everyday life, he admits to spending a lot of time studying for tests and making sure he fully understands the material. On the other hand, he also knows the importance of having a social life and he has found the perfect balance to ensure success. When asked about the most appealing part of the University of Michigan, he has a long list of examples. “The importance of their academics is very crucial, the diversity of the students and a new social setting will allow me to build new friendships, and I’m interested in the pre-med internships they offer.” said Haddad. Two of Haddad’s uncles and his older brother have gone to or are currently enrolled at the University of Michigan. By attending this university in the fall, he feels that he will be continuing his family's legacy. His mother

Maaya Tsubota, a foreign exchange student from Japan, is finishing her last year of American schooling only to continue in Japan upon her return home. Tsubota had only good things to say about her time here and says she would sincerely recommend being a foreign exchange student to her peers back home. Tsubota has traveled to many different places around the U.S., including Hawaii and California. Tsubota said she loves being in a different country, and she has many mixed feelings when it comes to her leaving soon. “I always wanted to learn English, I love America and I wanted to experience things here,” said Tsubota. “I always knew I wanted to come.” Tsubota said that she feels “free” in high

“The four years of high school flew by, and they took a lot out of me, but it was all rewarding in the end.” said Haddad. Haddad plans on attending Michigan for four years, and majoring in neuroscience. By doing this, he will earn his bachelors degree, and then plans accept an internship at a hospital. Following the internship, he plans on going back to University of Michigan, (U of M), to obtain his masters degree, get a well paying job, and finish by getting his PhD. With the fall months approaching, Haddad is feeling immensely hopeful for this new chapter in his life. “It is going to be exciting to experience a whole other level of schooling.” said Haddad. While he has cherished his high school career, this future neurosurgeon believes he will enjoy following his family’s footsteps just as much.

school here. Saying, in Japan school only gets harder as you age. Tsubota explained that she would spend up to eleven hours at school as a senior. “We have to wear the same thing, we don’t have any personality in school,” said Tsubota. “I feel like people here are friendlier, and people in Japan are more polite.” As a full time student in the U.S, knowing English is something Tsubota knew she would struggle with. She began learning English in the seventh grade and says being in America has truly helped her. She even admitted that English has practically become her first language, rather than Japanese. “I definitely prefer school here, it’s going to be hard going back to Japan,” said Tsubota. “Here, I don’t feel like I’m a senior, in Japan I would only talk to other seniors. In America, we hang out with everyone.” Tsubota had nothing but good things to say about her time in America, and she definitely plans to return.

All my life I could not stop thinking about the future. I grew and had my mind set on one goal; joining the Army. I moved a lot and have been to many schools, none quite like Northwest. I came here in seventh grade and I was too worried to make friends with anyone due to me leaving so many schools in the past. I honestly feel I got so lucky to meet so many of the great people here. There were so many, which is why I will not name names in fear of leaving anyone out. You all took me in and helped me grow as a person and a student. You made coming to school worth it. High school was made due to your kindness and support, and it is something I will never forget. I would also like to thank everyone in my journalism class as well. I did not speak or bond with all of you but I was proud to see all of you grow and become better writers and journalists. As for the leaders of the class I was glad to have started and ended the class with you. You all had an impact on my life and for that I am forever in your debt. The teachers of Northwest have always been good to me. All that being said, school was easier knowing the staff was willing to get in a student’s shoes for a while. Of course school was not always fun, there were some low points. Without the ones I cared about I doubt I would have made it through. So this is where I express my thanks, to everyone. Even the friendships I lost, you all contributed more than you know. My future is about begin and honestly, I am scared. My life is just beginning and with it I face new challenges. I do not know how the future will pan out. I do not know if the Army will be my full time career. Now what I do know, is that the past I had here at Northwest was worth it. I would also like to thank my family. For not letting me quit, for pushing me to be the very best person I could be, even when I did not feel like it. Despite being worried, I am kind of excited. I get to be my own person, doing as I choose, making my future, my way.

Transitioning Into a New Me
“One of the valedictorians is the love of my life.” -Anonymous
“I went on way too many adventures.” -Madi Hernandez. The Moxie Mountie
Senior
Helping others has always been a passion of mine, however I was a quiet and awkward child. I was always known as ‘that shy kid’ who barely talks. That was my setback. I grew up wanting everything handed to me. My parents would order my food at restaurants because I refused to talk to the waiter. I would consider myself borderline spoiled. Besides that, my shyness did not help me on the long run. I wanted to live my life to the fullest. My transition of a new chapter started when I had to switch schools due to me moving houses. I thought to myself “fresh new start!” I tried new things and I was pretty successful in my achievements. I tried out for the cheerleading team, I joined my school’s newspaper staff and I met the greatest friends I’ve ever had. My transition was not a smooth path. I thought I would never have the courage to get out of my comfort zone and try out for a sport I had no idea about, cheerleading. A sport that no one saw me doing. After one season of being on junior varsity I had learned all I needed to know about the sport. My dedication and passion to the sport grew more and more. Weight lifting, stretching every day and going over basic motions got me on the varsity team the following season. I also made great friendships on my cheer team, they helped me figure out who I was as a person. They pushed me not only in cheer but in my academic and social life as well. With all of the motivation I received from them I finished my third season with an all-conference team honorable mention award. Over the years I have overcame my setback of being timid student. My new motto is to help others and make everyone feel like they have a place to belong here, just like how everyone who helped me with my journey made me feel like I had a place too.
