Keeping in Touch
Now that my time at JSerra
is coming to an end, a popular topic
of discussion is staying in touch next
year. For some people it’s all talk and
they know they will not be keeping
in touch. They want to move on and
leave high school in the past, and
there’s nothing wrong with that.
After moving from New Jersey
by Julia Sanchez
during the summer before my eighth
grade year, I kept in touch with my childhood best friends.
I wouldn’t say I kept in touch with everyone and there’s a
reason for that.We did not put in the effort to preserve the
friendship.The girls I met in the third grade are still some of
my closest confidants to this day because we make an effort
to keep in touch. My parents’ closest friends are all in New
Jersey and when we go and visit them it’s like no time has
passed since the last time we saw them.
As a senior, I know that next year all my friends
will be spread out across the country. Some are staying
in California while others venture off to Michigan, Texas
and Pennsylvania. There’s nothing like sitting down at your
lunch table surrounded by your friends talking about what
happened last weekend or the test you took earlier. I don’t
know about everyone else, but I don’t plan on letting those
friendships wallow away into memories.
With technology being what it is today, there are
so many different ways to keep in touch. FaceTime, texting,
emails, the list goes on and on. Plain and simple, next year
the people you hear from are the people that really cared
about you and your friendship. Those you don’t hear from
don’t want to make the time to catch up. I know that
sounds harsh, but that’s just how it is. We spent four years
of our lives building up these friendships. You can’t choose
your family, but you can choose your friends, and in the end
these people became my family.
Looking Ahead:
Senior Year
Realizing that I am closer to
my graduation date than the first day
of freshmen year is an exciting and
nerve-racking thought. I am incredibly
excited for my senior year. Senior year
provides senior privileges, creates
memory-creating moments, and
allows students to leave their final
mark in high school. With that being
by Emily Gloyne
said, I am also anxious about college
and dreading the obnoxiously long and difficult process to
get in.
When I was younger, the amount of times I heard
the cheesiest line in the book, “high school passes you by in
the blink of an eye,” was uncountable. However, the start of
freshman year to the start of senior year really has seemed
like the “blink of an eye.” The college search has already begun
and before we all know it, our class will be dispersed across
the whole country and no longer a freeway exit away.
Next year I am looking forward to all the “class
bonding” activities, especially in the beginning of the year.
A few that come to mind are painting senior parking spots,
the senior sunrise, Kairos, trip to Catalina, and honestly, the
nicest aspect is getting to park on the academic side and
not fight for a decent parking spot every morning.
I really want to cherish my last year at JSerra before
all the familiar faces and class conversations with students I
will probably never see again fade away.This is the last year the
class of 2017 will be in the same place ever again. Graduation
and going off to college will be an incredibly bittersweet time.
I know I will be anxious to see where life takes me and the
rest of my classmates. Everyone has bright futures ahead of
them, but it will also be sad to say goodbye to the memories
and friendships I have made along the way.

No Invite To Prom?
No Problem.
Freshman Year is
Over.........
As the year comes to an
end Prom is the final dance before
ending the school year. Yet many
underclassmen do not get the
opportunity to attend Prom since
they aren’t allowed. This leaves
underclassmen bummed about not
being able to attend the “main” event.
Many students would still enjoy
by Ivan Altamirano
attending one last event for the year.
A great idea would be to have a casual Spring Dance.
Spring Dance would be very similar to the Welcome
Back dance at the beginning of the school year. It could either
be held in late March or early April, in the Pavilion, with a
specific theme for people to dress up. The students could
suggest which type of theme during school. After suggesting
them, we could create a poll of the different theme choices
and have the students vote on the one they want.
In this way JSerra students could choose something
they want to see within the dance. This would increase the
amount of attendance of people coming to the dance as
they selected the theme themselves.
We could also hold a contest that if a certain
amount of students came to the dance, we could do a
special event or prize when we get back to school. These
special events or rewards could be like free dress, jeans day,
or an early day out.
The difference between the Spring Dance and the
Welcome Back Dance is that you get to hangout with all
the friends you’ve meet this since the beginning of the year.
It’s a phenomenal way to enjoy your time with your all
friends all in one place. The Spring Dance would be a great
way to finally end the school year with a bang before going
on to the freedom of summer.
As my freshman year is coming
to an end I’m excited to not be a
freshman anymore. My freshman year
was really fun but I am ready to take
harder courses.
Freshman year consisted of
making new friends, growing in faith,
and making memories that would
last a lifetime. One of the many
by Jadyn Zielinski
highlights of my freshman year was
the freshman retreat. I made many new friends and I grew
closer to God. All the things we did during the retreat
were very fun and I learned a lot during the retreat. It was
a really fun experience and I recommend that next year’s
freshman class goes.
I really had a good first year at JSerra and I am
looking forward to another three years at this school.
Next year I plan to attend the sophomore retreat.
This year I also enjoyed being a part of the swim
program. It was a great experience to be a part of a team
and compete against other schools. Through swim I made
a ton of new friends that I know will last a lifetime. Also,
by participating in swim, I got to see my old friends on the
other teams and that was fun. I plan to continue swim for
the next three years and I am excited to see where the
sport will take me.
I am also excited to see what all my friends end up
doing in the next three years. A lot of change is probably
going to happen and I am looking forward to it. Even though
some people do not typically enjoy high school I personally
think that it’s a very important part of your life and you
make a ton of memories in high school.
I can’t wait to see what happens next year and I am
looking forward to it!

“Pay Gap” Exposed It’s That Time of Year
Every day, feminists and
politicians talk about the “gender
pay gap” and the ever-so-common
statistic that “women make 77 cents
for every dollar a man makes.” While
this is partially true, it is misleading
to simply parrot this fact without any
explanation.
This statistic, which is taken
by Ryan Sánchez
from the US Labor Department,
does not mean that employers pay somebody 23% less
just because they are a female; if that was the case then
everybody would just hire women and save a lot of cash.
Instead, it compares the median incomes of all men and
women in the country, not taking into account job choice,
education, hours worked, experience, or other variables. In
other words, the average woman tends to go into a career
that pays less than the average man’s.
If one looks at which gender is going into which field,
one would find that STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering
and Math) majors are dominated by males, while females
tend to go into fields such as education and nursing. Since
we do not live in a communist country, elementary school
teachers are not paid as much as engineers. It is no surprise,
then, that the average wage of women is below that of men.
So, how are we supposed to close this gap? Paying
all teachers six figures a year is never going to happen, and
we cannot force women to go into STEM careers.We must
make sure that all people are given the tools to succeed
and reach their full potential, and prevent people, especially
women, from being pressured into a certain career path.
I firmly believe that men and women have innate
differences and different needs in life.That is why I think that
forcing “equality” on people that have different capabilities
and desires is unnatural, and will only lead to strife and
unhappiness.
by Jeff Kahl
Paw Print Advisor
The school year is nearly over and that usually
brings a time of reflection. For seniors, they begin to assess
the sobering reality that, as the years go by, they will see a
lot of their friends less and less.....and less. The good news
for them is social media. When I graduated high school,
I had two choices in which to stay in touch: a phone call
or a letter. I could never have dreamed of a thing like
the internet and, with it, e-mail, Instagram, Facebook and
Snapchat. But friendship depends on shared experience
and as the years passed I lost any reason to stay in touch.
Happily, we build new friendships, fall in love, marry,
create families, forge careers, and, one day, we look back,
not with sadness, but with a wistful smile. And maybe, just
maybe, a bit of relief!
For teachers, the end of the year becomes a looping
movie of the year before...and the year before that. We will
miss our “favorite” seniors, the ones who showed us that
our work is not in vain...or the ones that helped us to crack
a smile on a day when we felt a bit “out of it”...even the
ones who helped us see that perhaps we could approach
our teaching methods in a better way. We say farewell and
good luck to them all, expecting perhaps a visit or two over
the years, but not much more. And that’s probably the way
it should be.
Most of all I want to say I have missed Mr. Orion
Gardner these past few months and all the chit-chats we
have about music, philosophy, travel, even the YouTube
videos I “just had to see.” We both came to JSerra at the
very beginning—me, as a founding member of the Fine
Arts department, and Mr. Gardner, as a founding member
of the California Conservatory of the Arts, an after-school
program which helped to establish our artistic excellence
here. I wish him a robust recovery from his current health
problems and look forward to seeing his youthful, handsome
face back here in the fall. We love you, Orion.
Farewell Seniors
Class of 2016

Senior and Former Paw Print Staff Writer
It’s finally the time that
we’ve all been counting
down from day one of our
freshmen year. Graduation.
Some of us are ready to
begin a new journey into
the “real” world while
some are hesitant to take
another step forward
into the future. For me,
I can’t wait to take the
next step in my life: a life
where I can’t depend on
my parents for everything, a life where I can choose what I
want to do in a day, and finally, a life of my own.
But I can’t help
but feel reminiscent when
I think about leaving my
friends who I’ve spent
four years with, the
teachers I kiss up to when
I don’t do my homework,
or even the people in the
administration office who
have always been on my
side when I disagree with
my dad on certain topics.
I didn’t realize that I have
so many special memories
of these people in my life
during the four years I’ve
spent at JSerra.
I remember Mrs.
Vandenberg, my partner
in crime in Peru. I remember Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Ortega, and
Mrs. Hurtado, who have always looked after me as their
own daughters. I remember Mr. Plaia who took care of me
during our school abroad trip to Germany when I broke
my ankle. I remember laughing, running away from Mrs.
Desmond so she wouldn’t see my skirt. And especially Mrs.
McClellan who not only was a teacher to me but also a
mentor of faith and life.
I remember my best friends: Natalie who never
fails to laugh at everything I do or say, Jessica who brings
out a crazy side of me that I never knew I had, Ashlyn who
has been through it all with me from day one, as well as so
many other people that I can’t recognize here. All these
people have their own important role in my life that has
made me the person I am today.
I’m scared. I’m
scared to see what my
future beholds, who I
will meet or marry in the
future, what job I’ll have,
where I’ll be living, and
plenty of other worries.
But I know that when life
gets hard and I’m left to
wonder what has gone
wrong in my life, I know
that my family here at
JSerra will always have
my back. So thank you
teachers, staff, friends,
and family for everything
you’ve done for me. I
will never forget JSerra.

Farewell Seniors
Reflect Yo’self
by Molly Harmon
It’s finally here, the end
of senior year. My overwhelming
sense of nostalgia has now
caused me to rhyme in the
opening line of my last article
for the Paw Print. When I was a
freshman, I had dozens of ideas
of how my life would be near the
end of my high school career.
Looking back, I had no idea how
much I would learn about myself
within a span of four years.
Some of those lessons were
harsh, others blissful, but all of them were rewarding.
If I could give my unassuming, fifteen-year-old self
one piece of advice, I would tell her that high school
is what you make of it. Dance the night away with
your friends at prom, dress up for the football games
(even though you have no idea what’s happening on the
field), and pursue your passions without fear of being
condemned for it. These moments might seem pointless
now, but when you’re looking back on your high school
career, you’ll be thankful that you made those memories,
no matter how cliche they might be.
Over the last four years I’ve learned the
importance of family. When I was a freshman, spending
time with my parents was at the bottom of my priority list,
and I would dream about the day I got to move into my
own dorm room. As I got older, however, I soon realized
that I wouldn’t always be able to ask my mom where my
favorite pair of shoes was, or eat burgers that my dad
made for Sunday night dinners.
When I’m halfway across the country next year, I
won’t be able to have my sister as my partner in crime.
We’ve been attached at the hip our entire lives, and the
thought of only being able to talk
to her on Skype, for the most part,
makes me sick to my stomach.
Now that the muchanticipated moment of living on
my own is approaching, I wish I
cherished some of those times
more. I know that it’s impossible
to see every moment as something
you’ll reminisce on at one point,
but it doesn’t change the fact that
I’ll miss my parents and my sister
more than I could have possibly
imagined when I was fifteen.
My high school experience has also taught me the
impact of friends and the power I had to decide what kind
of people I wanted around me. Surrounding myself with
people who wanted what was best for me and brought out
the best in me, instead of the worst, is one of the hardest
lessons I had to learn throughout high school. I hope to
stay close with my good friends from high school for the
rest of my life, but I know that is easier said than done.
We’ve cried, laughed, and acted like idiots together. After
becoming accustomed to constantly seeing each other at
school and every weekend, suddenly spreading out across
the country is going to be really hard.
One thing in particular has guided me through this
loop-the-loop that is high school: my faith. Since stepping
foot on JSerra’s campus for the first time, my relationship
with God has grown into an essential part of my life. I feel
so blessed to be able to say that I went to a school that
shaped my love for God and supported me in becoming a
confirmed Catholic. The retreats and the RCIA program
have helped me foster relationships with my classmates and
Christ. I will never forget their impact on my life.

when you get back. I had
to yell it seven times. I was
kind of mad at Julia at first,
but now we’ve been really
close for four years.”
