Dear Mrs.Rodriguez,

As a Gulliver student of 12 years, I know the majority of students in the school as they have been by my side for my whole life. I have well rounded skills in interviewing, and more specifically been featured in several profiles and dividers. I also created the Senior Ad’s section for the book. After having 3 years of Broadcasting experience, I’m well versed in Adobe Premiere Pro and can create video packages.

I am excited to bring my creativeness and talent to the position of being People Editor. I look forward to working next year on the staff, and I hope to leave with a bang.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best,

EllaRose Delgado

After winning the state semi-finals, the boys soccer team took a trip to Orlando to compete at the state finals against Bishop Moore on Feb. 23. Prior to their departure, friends and families of the players organized signs to motivate the team, reassuring them that they had endless support. “The parents did a ceremony for us when we were leaving. They had us all lined up, and they would say our name and number. It made us feel like heroes,” junior David Rincon said. After their sendoff, the team prepared for their final fight. “Right before the game, we were all very excited and hyped, as it was our first time in the state final for a lot of us, and for the seniors, their last. Everyone was super concentrated and prepared, and of course, a little nervous,” junior Lucas Barros said. The boys claimed their eighth victory after a successful game. “We scored early on the game, with a score 3-0. The score was off of a free kick, where Taro sent it over to me, and I then chipped the keeper. After seeing the ball fling into the net, we knew it was over for Bishop Moore. There was no better feeling than winning,” junior Tomas Sciarra said. Photo provided by GP Athletics

KICKS stylish

Each soccer player had their favorite brand of cleats.

Cleats may be perceived as a simple piece of footwear to protect feet from the soccer ball, but different types of cleats could affect players’ performances. Members of the varsity soccer team talked about their favorite cleats and how they enhanced their game.

The boys varsity soccer team played against University School on Jan. 10 at Tropical Park. To kick off the game, co-captain senior George Lombard scored a goal with an assist from senior Enrique Mesejo. “Scoring the first goal of the game really boosted my confidence and got me hyped. I could have done it without Enrique helping me, though,” Lombard said.

The team worked collectively, helping one another. The next goal was scored by senior Franco Garcia-Morillo, with an assist from Joaquin Beker Flah.

“I always try to help my teammates whenever can, especially with goals. We are a team, and we work like one,” Beker-Flah said.

As the game progressed, the team encountered a bump in the road. Junior Cosme Salas suffered an injury, so he had to sit out for the remainder of the game. However, the team bounced back.

“I did not get injured, but being taken out frustrated me and the team, but we moved on. Putting in Gabriel was an immaculate come back,” Salas said.

The last goal was scored by Mateo-Acosta Rubio with an assist from Taro Ochi.

“Over the season we all created a beautiful chemistry, which lead to scoring goals. The team understands each other and we ooze confidence. Making that goal was definitely memorable for me,” Acosta-Rubio said.

mostmysignificant piece of work for the publication was my “Raiders in Action” spread. The spread showcased the victory of the Boys Varisty Soccer team at the State Finals. In taking on this spread, my goal was to include as many players as possible, and to reveal the community and achievements that the soccer team obtained. At first, it was a little hard to complete this spread as many were apprehensive to commit to an interview, but as I kept asking other players, I received my responses. I also had to deeply interrogate the players as there were several different pieces of information that did not line up, and this prompted me to go to the soccer coach and obtain the true information. I believe that this is my most significant piece of work because the Boys soccer team winning the State Final was a significant event in itself. I’m grateful for the opportunity to cover the topic. I incorporated the theme into my spread throughout the title, and I tried something new with the article on the picture. Overall, it was a fun spread to curate and I’m very happy with the end result.

The boys varsity soccer team took yet another victory home after winning their game against University School.

I covered several different aspects of the publication. I was a Senior Ad’s Editor and did very unique spreads such as modular spreads and two page spreads. Managing the Senior Ad’s taught me a lot about time management, dedication, and teamwork. It was over 100’s of Ad’s to complete and it was a very tedious job. There were several complications, but in the end I was able to complete the section with the help of other staff members and the end result was so worth it. Furthermore, returning from my trip to Japan to then creating a spread in a week for the trip was one of my most difficult tasks. To gather all of the quotes, photos, and information within a week and finish the spread was not easy. This year was a rocky one, but I’m proud of accomplishing all that I did.

We can not believe this day has finally arrived. Our angel has graduated High School. WOW! We are so proud of your and your accomplishment and we are so excited to see what happens next. You have proven that you can achieve anything you desire, if you put your mind to it. Let your dreams and heart be your guide in life.

my weakness was work load. Since I had never been given a section as big as Senior Ad’s, I had underestimated the amount of time it would take to finish them. I did not have a grip on how to get them done in a timely manner while still managing my extracurriculars, IB courses, etc. In the end, I did finish all of my spreads but it took a lot of labor to get them done. Looking back, I have now learned what I am capable of doing and not capable of doing.

This picture was taken at the pep rally when Indian dancers came to perform. I had to lay down on the floor to get this picture but it was worth it. I love this picture because it shows so much emotion and intensity from the dancer, and it has personality.

This picture was taken at Halloween with both the student and teacher in spirit. I love this picture because it shows happiness from the teacher’s face, and it captures a good moment between a student and a teacher.

This picture was taken at the balcony that faces the football field. I love this picture because it shows the subject’s seriousness and fiercness. The positioning of the subject is perfectly in the middle and the hair blowing makes the picture!
