Back to Articles Polaris Back to Sections Two Roads By Ella Cason Volume 1 Issue 7 April 22, 2021 Image provided by eLife There are two separate roads ahead which way would you go. On the right there's is one road is the sound of the world, on the left is the silence of the world. The decision depends on your life and whatever you choose is your life. The right road ahead is a road where you can do many different things. Communication to people while others are silent. The movement of words and movement to explore. The left is the silence of the world but connects in other ways. The communication of hands, emotion, and signs rather than ears and mouths So, they mute their ears and shut their mouths and proud of who they are. The two different roads that decide were you go. They may seem different but together in the same world. They value their culture like they value their souls. Everyday people lie on those to roads a head. A decision of life a decision of proudness and culture. and every day a new person is born on the two separate roads ahead. BACK TO TOP

Back to Articles Advice Back to Sections Be Aware and Stay Focused By Jeselys Naylana Vazquez Volume 2 Issue 4 February 10, 2022 Image provided by Google.com Wow! The fall semester is already over, and now our spring semester schedule has begun. Our lovely and hardworking teachers have been rocking it away in putting up our final grades into the school portal, so we should take the time this week to reflect and focus on what we need to work to do well and succeed in the grade we hope to accomplish. We may be unsatisfied that we didn’t reach our goal for the grades we wanted or satisfied with what we earned, but it isn’t too late to improve. Don’t think you can’t because we’re getting closer each day to the end of the school year and you don’t have time to make a change because it is never too late to take a step and own up to it. On February 4th, our report cards came out, so I hope you took/will take the time to look over them and ask/ask yourself, “Is the best I could do, or could I try harder next time?” Then you can figure out what you need to focus on, and what you need to do for yourself to increase your average. Also, always remember: It’s your choice; if you feel you can do it, then do it! Don’t underestimate your power of wisdom and intelligence. Well, I have a spring semester to catch, and so do you, so see you there! BACK TO TOP

Back to Articles Feature Back to Sections Spring Break Activities to do in Long Island Mya Hans Volume 4 Issue 4 May 29, 2024 Image Provided by Elaine Ching The highly anticipated spring break is on its way, and the sun is coming out! There are so many exciting things to do in the beautiful weather. If you want to have a fun and memorable spring break but don’t know exactly what you want to do, I have a bunch of activities that you should consider. The first activity most people do when it’s nice out is go to the beach. There’s nothing better than being in the warm sand and then going into the ocean to cool off on a hot day. Also, some beaches, such as Long Beach, have a boardwalk with nice little cafes, restaurants, and ice cream parlors to grab something to eat. You can ride your bike, or walk, and some people even bring their dog on the boardwalk. Some people may not like the beach, but a great alternative is the pool. The pool in Hendrickson Park is nice because it has an eating area, a side of the pool for kids, and diving boards, as well as an entire park outside of the pool area. Another activity you can do is go to an amusement park. A popular one in Long Island is Adventureland. There is also Valley Stream’s annual carnival, as well as trampoline parks like Sky Zone in the area. Amusement parks are fun to go to during the day or night, especially with friends. Adventureland appeals to many people because it has various activities to offer like delicious food and snacks, an arcade, and games. Adventureland also doesn’t have many extreme rollercoaster rides, besides the Galleon Pirate Ship Ride, the Turbulence coaster, and the Frisbee ride, so regardless of whether you’re a roller coaster fan or not, you can go on basically any of the rides there. While more expensive, going to a concert is another memorable activity. During the spring, because of the nice weather, there will probably be a lot of outdoor concert venues. Who wouldn’t want to see their favorite artist in the sunny weather? Some artists have cheaper concert tickets, and some are more expensive, but reliable apps like TickPick, Ticketmaster, and Vivid Seats, may give you a good deal on some concert tickets. Overall, going to a concert of an artist or band you love is an unforgettable experience and worth the money, so why not do it over spring break? The last activity I think is enjoyable year-round is going to the movies. You can go to an actual movie theater—or you can go to a drive-in movie. You can even check if somewhere in your community is having an outdoor movie night; they do host some at Hendrickson Park and Nickerson Beach Park by the ocean. Watching a good movie and being among your family and friends is a wonderful way to have fun and make some memories. Do you like any of the activities I listed? Would you want to do any of them? Whether you do or don’t I hope you have a wonderful spring break filled with lots of amazing memories and come back ready to take on the end of the school year! BACK TO TOP

Back to Articles Sports Back to Sections World Cup 2022 By Leah Ally Volume 3 Issue 2 December 23, 2022 Image produced by Leah Ally ince 1930, the World Cup has been the most popular and most watched sporting event as 32 qualifying teams go head-to-head in a series of games to determine which nation will hold the FIFA World Cup Trophy. Every four years, the World Cup has become a worldwide event beloved by soccer fans and even those who may not be too familiar with the sport. Undoubtedly, the World Cup will continue its long-lasting legacy for years to come. The 2022 World Cup was held in Qatar, starting November 20th and ending December 18th. This would be the first time the World Cup would be held in the winter, as it was determined that Qatar’s hot climate would not be suitable to be played in during the summer. With 64 matches to be played in eight locations across five cities, the contest took place over 29 days (about four weeks). Thirty-one teams were chosen from each of FIFA’s six regional soccer confederations based on their performances over the last four years, while the national football team of Qatar automatically qualified for the event, their first World Cup. Due to its treatment of women and migrant laborers, as well as its climate, lack of vibrant football culture, scheduling adjustments, and claims of bribery for hosting rights, the decision to host the World Cup in Qatar has been controversial. The event was estimated to be the most expensive World Cup ever hosted, with $220 billion worth of expenses, which would result in a 40% increase in ticket prices since the 2018 tournament. Over the event, the World Cup was expected to draw 5 billion viewers, over half of the world’s population. This year’s event was bound to be emotional for fans and players as numerous stars announced retirement. These players include Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Thiago Silva, and Guillermo Ochoa. As of now, Qatar 2022 will mark the last World Cup for these stars as they will continue their legacy off the field while hoping for their final victory. It is safe to say the World Cup of 2022 would be exciting for both fans and teams, with high hopes and anticipation as history would be made. BACK TO TOP
