ACROSS THE POND

Exploring cultures and experiences abroad were popular during the summer.

1. EXPLORING IN ITALY, Junior Valeria Bigott visits the Trevi Fountain in Rome, as part of her family summer vacation. Bigott visited the Amalfi Coast, Florence, and Rome throughout the span of a month. “My family and I usually go to Italy during spring break to ski, but Italy in the summertime is gorgeous,” Bigott said.

2. PREPARING FOR A PRAYER, junior Luiz Gandelman stands in front of a German concentration camp.

This was one of the many summer vacation trips he took, which included a two-week journey to Denmark, Switzerland, and Israel.

“My dad and I finally got the chance to visit Holocaust memorial sites, since we were not able to during COVID,” Gandelman said.

3. FINALLY, sophomore Bella Burns takes a long-awaited trip to Europe after not traveling internationally for two years. Burns explored the French countryside, Normandy, San Sebastian, and Madrid on a three week long trip. “It was an amazing trip and definitely one I will always remember,” Burns said.

TRIUMPHANT. With faces smeared with shaving cream, freshman Miguel Di Mise wraps his arms around his fellow campers after winning a game. Di Mise attended Camp La Llanada with sophomores Enrique Armada and Gonzalo Senior for three weeks. “We were determined to win as many games as possible in order to rack up points for this year’s competition,” Di Mise said.

MANIFESTING HER FUTURE, senior Melanie Pozo joins her dance team at Barnard College in New York City over the summer. Pozo participated in an undergraduate dance course for a semester. “This is what my future holds, and I am grateful I had the opportunity to experience it before graduating,” Pozo said.

HOLDING HER LAB COAT, senior Olivia Moreira shadows as an intern at UCLA over the summer. At the clinical lab, she prepped chemicals for experiments and collected data. “My process for choosing colleges is to focus less on prestige and more on what is right for me, so I visited lots of universities this summer to really narrow down my decision,” Moreira said.

Wwith his face filled with shaving cream, freshman Miguel Di Mise celebrated his last moment as a camper. In June, Di Mise went to Camp La Llanada in Polk County, Florida for the fourth year in a row. Since he recently turned 15, this would be his last time at the camp as a camper, but he planned on returning as a camp counselor in the future.

“I have a lot in common with the people who go to this camp. Everyone goes back and plans to go at the same time so we can see one another every summer,” Di Mise said.

Similarly, many students returned to their favorite camping grounds, but took the liberty of leaving the state. For junior

Shayna Karmin this meant going back to Camp Timber Tops in Pennsylvania for the seventh year in a row.

“It is tradition for me to stay there for seven weeks, and I have met some of my closet friends there over the years,’ Karim said.

Junior Connor Schulz attended Outward Bound, a co-ed camp, in the Colorado Rockies for the first time. Initially, he felt hesitant being that this was his first time at a sleep-away camp, but his experience went better than he hoped.

“I had the opportunity to meet a lot of interesting people from around the nation and spend time in the mountains with them, which was really exciting,” Schulz said.

TAKING IN THE VIEW, junior Costanza Prato single-handedly balances on her wake board. Prato stayed close to home at Camp Guaikinima for the sixth summer in a row. “I return to this camp, because there is a sense of family, as it is such a positive and encouraging environment where I can overcome my fears, while also gaining strong friendships,” Prato said.

WITH ZERO ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY, campers at Camp La Llanada disconnect for three weeks and spend time outdoors instead. This year’s theme was the World Cup, and their days consisted of activities, like tubing and kayaking, but counselors also integrated a series of games that related to the theme. “The camp is split up into two teams as soon as we get there, and during our stay, we do our best to win as many points as possible so that we can be the champions,” freshman Enzo Paesano said.

Students took advantage of the Halloween dress code and brought out their creativity.

With high spirits, senior Adam Kleinman walked around campus in his Halloween costume for the last time. Given the opportunity to wear costumes to school on Halloween day, seniors took the time to choose their outfits.

“I like the relaxed and casual environment that results from allowing us to wear our costumes to school, it is a refreshing change for a day,” Kleinman said.

Similarly, most students wanted to express their interests through their costumes. For senior Theodore Ciperski, it was his love for an artist; Vincent Van Gogh.

“I chose to go as him because I have a personal inside joke about Van Gogh and it felt like a nice full circle moment dressing up as him for my last Halloween here,” Ciperski said.

His idea of bringing art to life was successful, even if it did come with a cost.

“I found myself throughout the night repeating the same spiel over and over again, but it was cool to educate and connect with the people who did get it,” Ciperski said.

For some, costumes were less thought out than others. Many found themselves assembling last minute costumes. Sophomore Julia Witherspoon and her friend found the inspiration for their fairy costumes on Pinterest and bought accessories off of Amazon.

“My wings were pretty tiny, but I did have to walk sideways through a few doorways and it was difficult to do my chemistry lab with them but I still had fun wearing it,” said Witherspoon.

ARGH! Coincidentally matching, seniors Paulino Mercenari and Adam Kleinman walk with junior Mia Carrasco to their next class. The trio went as a pirate, Jack Sparrow, and an Anime character. “I saw them from a distance and knew I had to compliment them on their costume choices,” Carrasco said.

Andrea Lahrssen Coaches Yary Roman, Diane Kunkel, Earl Sims, and Justin Cardoza nailed their first group costume as a department. Coach Diane Kunkel suggested the idea to be sports trophies and provided the gold spray paint to wear on their hair, clothing, and skin. “There was doubt whether this was going to look exactly like life-like trophies, but we all loved the idea and knew this group costume was perfect for us,” said Roman.

TWINNING WITH THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS, junior Kate Brewer stands near the construction site. Her Halloween costume was inspired by her Dad, who had a neon vest and a hard hat handy. “I could not pass up the opportunity to get a photo with the crew, so I am happy they were so open to it,” Brewer said.

IN THEIR USUAL LUNCH SPOT, sophomore Claire O’Neil looks over the balcony with her friends. O’Neil’s costume preparation entailed two hours of makeup and sewing her own corpse bride dress. “I absolutely love dressing up and showing off my costume, since I put so much effort into it,” O’Neil said.

EXCITED ABOUT THEIR COSTUMES, seniors Mateo Acosta-Rubio and Luke Rozenberg embody their inner fighters for the day.

Trick or Treating

Entering the knee-to-chest pose, senior Isabella Mendez immediately felt at ease. She aligned her body on the mat and enabled her body to fully release from any persistent stresses. At this moment she was elsewhere, allowing her heart rate to decrease. For Mendez, making yoga a part of her schedule was the right call.

“It feels really calming and definitely gives me the added energy to finish my last class strong,” Mendez said.

As a new edition to the athletic department, coach Ana Jennings strove to implement special yoga features in her classes. At the end of her period, Jennings turned off the lights and created circular motions on chakra bowls to devise relaxing sounds while everyone else lied on their backs.

“Each bowl is supposed to be connected to energy channels, so I ask my students to set intentions, and then these sequences open the chakra up,” Jennings said.

As the year progressed, students’ days got more occupied and stressful. Sophomore Valentina De Machado hoped to have some down time to liberate herself from her packed days.

“I take this time to allow my brain to reset for a few minutes a day and to get some clarity,” Machado said.

Other coaches shared similar thoughts about destressing. Coach Earl Sims implemented moments of silence in his physical education class as well. Sims helped his students track their sleep schedules and put aside time for them to meditate all together.

“My goal as their teacher is to lower their stress levels and help them be the best they can be,” Sims said.

the RIGHT THING

Advice from a professional medical instructor gave students insight on the importance of being certified in CPR.

Freshman Annabelle Laemmli learned the basics of CPR in health class. Health teacher Suzanne Landsom invited a medical instructor to simulate the steps of CPR with her students. “It is important to become certified, because we should be educated in case of an emergency,” Laemmli said. Through the advice the medical instructor provided, the students learned, but also had fun at the same time. “Mrs. Landsom always finds fun ways to incorporate her personal experiences into what lesson she is teaching us,” Taro Ochi said.

The HIP club taught the freshmen the importance of health education.

After being elected as HIP club president, senior Isabella Bonafasi recalled her experience with the program.

“When I was a freshman, the modules we were shown stayed with me,” Bonafasi said. As an avid public speaker and her love for health, Bonafasi was committed as her role. “As President, I have strove for the Gulliver HIP club to hold a sense of community where everyone can be friends and walk away with new knowledge,” Bonifasi said.

IN THE Hea Gam

It was the third quarter, and the score was 24-0. Scanning down the field, junior Davi Belfort threw the ball to his receiver who ran it across the endzone. Seconds after what became his fourth touchdown pass of the night, Belfort was tackled to the ground. After his 7th game as the Raider’s starting quarterback, Belfort’s season was cut short. Football was everything to him, so he was devastated when his injury meant he wouldn’t play in the upcoming Homecoming game.

Despite his injury, Belfort continued to encourage his team from the sidelines, attending every game. He stayed focus on his recovery, determined to get back on the field for the next season.

“You have to stay even-headed throughout the ups and downs. You are going to have some bad days, and you are going to have some good days, but it is about how you react to those bad days that shows your true character,” Belfort said.

While he recovered, Belfort turned to his family and faith for support, as he so often did. Belfort said that while he’s on the field, his family was his primary focus, and their support meant everything to him.

“I play for my family, and I always go the extra mile for them because they are the reason I am here today and I want to make them proud,” Belfort said. .

Family has always been at the center of Belfort’s life. It was his uncle who introduced him to football at a young age; a sport which has provided Belfort with many opportunities.

“Football has brought me great experiences. I have been able to visit schools all over the country, meet new coaches, get introduced to people who I now look up to, and form lifetime relationships with teammates,” Belfort said.

As a firm believer in “if you want something, you have to work for it,” Belfort dedicated countless hours a week to football. At the time of his injury, Belfort

had passed 2,348 yards, completed 66% of his passes, and had a total of 16 touchdowns.

“It is all about the work you put in, and the work you put in is the result you are going to get, so if you put in mediocre work, you are going to get half the results you want. If you give your best effort, you are going to get what you want and maybe even more,” Belfort said.

Belfort took his focus and determination out on the field where he would zone in on the game and the “task at hand.”

“When I’m playing football, I am not focused on anything going on in the outside world and I forget all of my troubles,” Belfort said.

The adrenaline and brotherhood of the game also drove his love for the sport.

“There is a level of trust, because you give them your life and they give you theirs. Football is something that I truly love. It is my passion,” Belfort said.

On the first day back from break, I was so confused and lost. I had no idea where I was expected to park at the Dadeland lot, and then I had to catch a bus just to get to campus. Initially, there was only one bus, so no matter what time I got there, I was late to first class. Most of my teachers were understanding, but it was still an inconvenience.

It did not come as a surprise to me that the juniors would lose their parking spots since they started construction near the church. My parking buddy and I were unhappy to

lose our parking spot, because it was really close to school. Now, because of the changes, I wake up earlier, and my mornings are more rushed to get out of the house, especially because I live in Key Biscayne, and the traffic from there is bad. It is also difficult for me on the days I want to go to tutorial, because the bus leaves at 4:00 p.m. right now, and that cuts it close.

At the end of the day, there is nothing we can do about it; we have become used to it. All I can look forward to is having a parking garage for my senior year.”

LAYOUT DESIGN - VALERIA CASTILLO Interview and photo by Mia Carrasco
Junior Lucas Armando was faced with a new parking system mid-year.

It was definitely a culture shock. I was going from public to private. I was at my old school for all my life, so I knew everybody, and everybody knew me. Therefore, when auditions started last year, I was like, “I am not doing it.” I put it off until the last day, the last time block after saying, “I will do it tomorrow,” for several weeks. I had really bad stage fright when I started in sixth grade, but by eighth grade, I was completely confident. Starting over at a new school made me scared. It was a nightmare; the second I would get on stage, I would start crying. But with time, I got better with my audition anxiety. I just jumped in; I was like, “okay I do want to get better at singing, but acting is my strong suit.” I became more confident in acting and learned to love it. I always wanted to do something in the arts from a very young age. I would find monologues online and practice them on my own. Then, in middle school, I competed and got good feedback. Something that got me into acting was simply watching television. Being able to feel the characters’ emotions through the screen was something I admired. This is why I decided to join broadcasting, too. It nurtured my passion for photography and video production, and I think I have grown a lot because of it. I have gotten better at getting my story across. It also taught me to work in a team. With ensemble acting, it is like we are all a team, and we are all putting this energy into a scene. It is the same thing with broadcasting. Every single one of us has a job, whether it is producing, being behind the camera, or handling the audio. We all work together to make one product beautiful. Broadcasting has helped me better understand the technology aspect of film production. Ultimately, acting is my priority; that is the only thing I see myself doing. I do not see myself doing anything other than film or television. My goal is to work my way up into the industry to hopefully one day be an A-list celebrity.”

Reflections

I consider this spread to be my most significant piece of work for the publication of the 2023 Raider Yearbook. It was particularly difficult since the events I covered happened before the school year. This meant I had to conduct extensive interviews to get the full story. There was a lot of trial and error with this spread because of what I had access to. But, eventually I organized my module elements and came up with my title. Cabin Fever really drove the rest of the spread and helped me capture the summertime activities students were involved in. I wanted to encapsulate the feeling of summer break and create a page that people can look back on with a smile.

When writing my article and the captions I wanted students to recall on what made their summer memorable. The layout changed many

Student Life Spread: Cabin Fever

times before I decided on this one. I love the title effect and the design. For my Bags Packed mod, I wanted to get creative so I decided to find out what people’s travel essentials were and drew them. It was one of my first times using Procreate and I am very happy with how my graphics came out. It added an interesting component to the page that makes it look like a magazine. I also was eager to showcase the rising seniors and their summer experiences. This is a spread that included many different voices from all grade levels and was my first of my returning year on staff. The longer I worked on it the more potential I saw with it so I put a lot of thought and effort into it to make it special. Being that it is one of the first pages in the yearbook, I think it brought out the overall feeling for our year’s theme.

How were you an asset to this staff and the publication?

As a returning member on staff, I was taking on an editor role to manage the sports section. This higher position meant more responsibilties while also getting assigned spreads every month or so. On staff I was also there to guide the newer members and be a staffer that my editors could depend on. As Sports Editor, I had to be in constant contact with the sports department creating schedules and organizing the teams’ records. I made sure that all varsity and junior varsity sports were included and that their members were correctly recognized. I took a few of the team photos myself and had to get approval from each coach. I made an effort to be very

communicative with my editors and provide help to the other section editors. I continued to get as much coverage as possible on events even if I wasn’t covering them. My commitment to the publication was passionate throughout the course of the year. I felt obliged to give 100% to my spreads and to continue to improve them time and time again until I felt they were ready to hand off to the editors. I wanted to ensure that what I turned in only cost the editors a bit of time to make adjustments so that they weren’t carrying the load on their own. I immersed myself in the events and found interest in each of them so that my writing was genuine.

Throughout the course of the year, one of my struggles were profiles. I had previously only done one small profile on a student last year but this year I completed three profiles and assisted with other ones. My first one was my Head in the Game page which took many tries. It was difficult for me to to get ahold of the student and find time to do an extensive interview. I ended up having a long Facetime call with him and a couple more in-person interviews after that. During all of this, my interviewing skills became much better and I was able to successfully capture his full story. I got to know a stranger in only a few conversations and design a page that I’m proud of. With profiles, I think it is

I am proud of this photo because it was taken before the girl popgroup emerged from the curtains and the audience did not know what was about to go down. It antcipates the excitment of their visit and the captures a moment before their performance. Melany Rivera is seen behind the stage waiting for her cue to walk out and surprise the crowd. What attracts me to this photo is that it takes me to a place that isn’t typically seen;behind the scenes. even though you cannot see her face, you can tell that it is her from her outfit and her position. Under the circumstances,

What was a weakness that you overcame?

important that someone is portrayed in a new lens that shows a part of them that goes beyond the surface. Going through this experience was beneficial to me because it helped me improve my communication skills and find tactics for getting people to become comfortable with talking about themselves and opening up to me. I overcame this weakness by learning how to ask the right questions and conquering the fear of coming off as intrusive. I found that I can now learn about a person and pick out what they say to help them share their experiences. Now I love doing profiles and know how to highlight people individually.

Photos: Bella Dose

there are few photos of the girls alone and this highlights Melany and her own experience. The light in the photo is on her and you can tell by her surroundings that she isn’t about to do a normal performance. You can see that she is in the gymnasium and this detail adds to the story behind the photo. Their visit was very special and unexpected. It was also early on in their musical career so seeing her before the show was something new for everyone. The feeling of the photo aged well with how the audience recieved them; with immense support and love.

NO 4.2

I love this particular photo because of all of the emotions captured in it. There are many faces that can be clearly seen and they all have different reactions. This was taken during a game of musical chairs at a pep-rally. The three boys fighting for the chair are both mid-yell and are centered in the photo. Other students surround them from all corners of the photo and overall the photo showcases a memorable moment. The boy with his arm raised was the only person facing the audience while the rest all have eyes on him. You can clearly see

What makes this photo interesting is how busy it is. This was taken from a bird’s eye view and is in the midst of this huge celebration. Everyone is looking off the photo or can been seen dancing and smiling. There are many emotions visible but they are all positive. This was taken moments after the circle of girls performed a dance in front of the whole school. Their excitement and happiness afterwards can be seen with their interaction with each others. They are the center of the photo and your eye is drawn towards them. The colors are vibrant and you can clearly tell

how funny the moment was and that it was something everyone wanted to remember. There’s also a competitive feel to it because all three boys are determined to win the game. It is a celebratory moment for one of them but also the viewer does not yet know which of the boys actually won. It is one of my favorites because it highlights the seniors and the high school feel. And if you look closely, you can even see the third boy’s face peeking below the chair, also trying to see what was going on and his sacrifice to win.

that everyone is matching in green and yellow attire to celebrate carnaval. The photo shows a community and the unity of culture. The hanging decorations above the people frame the photo and are another hint that this was a special occasion at school. Plus, you can see in the photo that the girls are holding hands and are exchanging smiles and a fun conversation. There are hands pointing and people moving to the music that was playing at the time. Overall I am proud of this photo because of the setup and because of how clearly you can see the focal point (the girls) amidst the chaos.
