Back to Articles Sports Back to Sections The Soccer Cup Game By Manal Layachi Volume 1 Issue 2 November 24, 2020 Image provided by Sergel Karpukhin The sun was shining in my face. I could see the morning dew shining on the grass. I heard many cheers and screams as I walked onto the field. I knew that that day’s game was going to be great. My team and I would succeed, and we would not give up. That day, we were playing in the finals of the Long Island Cup games. We wondered whether we would finally win and take home the trophy. I remember the first time my team, the Tuareg Rebels, and I tried to win the previous year. During the final game, my coach came back from Rome where he was traveling on business just to coach us. My team had won all 19 games of the whole season. I remember the first time my team made it to the Long Island Cup finals. All our hard work didn’t pay off because we lost. We mourned this loss. My teammates and I cried a lot. The other team cheated because they had guest players from upper divisions. It was not fair. There was no need to cheat in order to win. Then we tried again last year. On the day of the finals, I woke up excited to get ready for this huge event. My dad is my smart coach. He was wearing a professional blue jacket, with a blue cap, and black and blue soccer shoes. We got into our 2018 Honda Odyssey and drove for close to two long hours to reach Stony Brook where the championship game was held, but it was worth it. When we arrived, we could see a large variety of age group teams from different places competing for the cup. I felt like I was in a forest because we were surrounded by trees. My dad and I were nervous. We needed to win this game! I met up with my teammates. We are all wearing a yellow jersey, blue shorts, blue socks, and cleats. The team we played against was called the Bulldogs. They were wearing orange jerseys and fancied intimidating eye black. My stomach was filled with butterflies. Before we started the game, the coach gave an inspirational speech and encouraged us to be the best we could be. That day was our day to win and we would not give up. Before the game started, my team lined up behind the referee and the other team did the same. I felt like I was in a professional game. The game started out like a normal game. When someone scores a goal against your team, you get this feeling that it is over, but we shook it off and kept playing. By the end of the first half, we were losing 2-3. Everyone on my team started to become discouraged. We felt like we had lost and were going to give up. Everyone was sweating, and my face was as red as a tomato. Will the Tuareg Rebels come back and finish this game with a victory? Or will they give up? In half-time, my coach gave us another inspirational speech and made us believe in our capacity to turn things around and win. We had to give it our all, he said. We went out in the field and played as if our life depended on winning. We scored a goal! The score was then 3-3. A player in the opposing team touched the ball with her hand in the penalty area. We were awarded a penalty kick. That was our chance to score. My teammate Isabella was going to shoot it in the goal. All the pressure was on her. I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. She scored! My teammates and I jumped in the air with happiness. The score was then 4-3 and we needed to have good defense to stop the other team from scoring against us. Toward the end of the game, we felt a burst of energy, which made us play with confidence. The game finally ended, and we had won the game! My team’s parents were cheering loudly, and everyone was happy. My dad was jumping like Mario from Super Mario Brothers 2. We ran around the field with the winning ball that we all signed at the end of the game. I still have the ball and the trophy in my house. After the game and the ceremonies were over, a professional photographer took a picture of us with the trophy. I walked by other people playing and watched some doing penalty kicks because no one won the game, even in the overtime period. They needed to do 5 penalty kicks each to decide who wins. Whoever scored the most goals wins. I am happy that we didn’t have to do that. One of our teammate’s mom, who is a baker, baked cupcakes in the shape of a soccer ball. The cupcakes were vanilla flavored, had an Oreo in the middle, green frosting, and a soccer ball ring. It was soft, moist, and delicious. We got our medals and the Cup Game trophy. I was happy and smiled the whole time. I learned that you can do anything you put mind to. Also, you should never give up easily, just keep trying. BACK TO TOP

Back to Articles News Back to Sections North's Snowball By Rachel Ezeadichie Volume 3 Issue 3 February 24, 2023 Image provided by North Student On January 27th, 2023, North High School hosted its first Snowball catered to its 7th, 8th, and 9th graders. Located in the school cafetorium, the night consisted of food, drinks, and plenty of dancing. Multiple contests, such as dancing and joke competitions, were held throughout the night. Prizes included gift cards from different food chains such as Dunkin Donuts. The cafetorium was expertly decorated by students and members of our extracurriculars, including the National Junior Honor Society, who decorated, watched, and helped clean up after the dance. The Snowball was a massive success among the underclassmen of North. It being the first official dance for underclassmen made it very popular among the 7th and 8th graders, with some 9th graders enjoying it as well. Even outside the school-sanctioned parts of the dance, people still managed to create their own fun. Multiple dance circles were formed, which allowed different students to step out of their comfort zones and dance the night away. The event also created opportunities for underclassmen to meet and socialize outside school hours. Many are busy during the school week and on the weekends, so an event that prioritized the socialization of the underclassmen was highly appreciated. With a total of over 120 students attending, the Snowball has definitely engraved itself into the mind of many underclassmen and has changed the way we view school events forever. BACK TO TOP

Back to Articles Entertainment & Media Back to Sections The War of the Pens: George R.R. Martin Versus Brandon Jasmine Roberts Volume 5 Issue 4 April 8, 2025 An interesting aspect of indulging in literature for so long is that similar to a wine connoisseur who can differentiate a pinot noir from a chardonnay, I can tell one author from another. I can smell with just the tip of my nose, the sharp scent of a Shakesperean blank verse. With my eyes, I can find a hint of Tolkien in almost all the fantasy I have ever read, with its purple hue of fantastical worldbuilding and a necessity for intricate detail. It isn’t as hard to understand the qualities of an author if you scrutinize them like the black dots upon a ladybug’s back. Sometimes it’s in syntax or a specific style of writing. An American author of the early 19th century is obvious amongst European authors, as the former subscribes to a raw, blunt, practical energy which enforces strength and individualism, for example. However, the most curious of all differences amongst writers, which sets does not just set one’s technique apart from another, but instead one’s psyche and personal conviction: theme. A theme is a tricky little thing to catch, it flies too high and dives too low; it knows how to camouflage and blend in under the words of a character or it can trick you, like the back of an Owl Butterfly. But it can never escape. Stories and their themes, like the humans who wrote them, press a fingerprint into the heart of creation and can ever escape the watchful eye of one who has the patience to internalize literature’s beautiful lessons. Let us take two authors who have already solidified themselves as giants in the world of fantasy: George R.R. Martin and Brandon Sanderson. Their careers have been vast, as their body of work has been. Sanderson finished the original tale of the Wheel of Time, by Robert Jordan and George R.R. Martin’s work frequently evolved into visual adaptions, even if there is still no announcement for a film adaptation of his most recent book, Winds of Winter. If my frustration isn’t palpable enough, when one has opened the not-so-secret wardrobe of the realm of fantasy zealots, these two names show up with great prominence. Honestly, they feel inescapable, but both are craftsmen of their work. I was pleasantly jarred at the differences in Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire ( ASIOAF) and Sanderson’s Stormlight Archives . I have gathered one main difference between their primary texts regarding their subgenres of fantasy. Both ASOIAF and the Stormlight Archives rely on the medium of fantasy to convey their messages. Both seemingly take great notes from pioneers of the genre, such as Tolkien. This is apparent in their detailed and otherworldly settings which seem as livable as Manhattan to a New Yorker. ASOIAF is set on the continent of Westeros, and the Stormlight Archives is placed upon the planet and continent of Roshar (It is an intergalactic, entangled setting of other intercrossing works). Two important terms to gather when speaking of these novels are the concepts of High and Low fantasy. High fantasy can be defined as consisting of a world which does little to mirror our own. For instance, in the Stormlight Archives much of the culture and structure of protagonist, Kaladin’s world, holds little bearings to our own. Magic is an expectable and prominent feature in this story, used similar to how electricity is used in our reality, under the name of Stormlight. Beasts of burden are creatures which can be likened to werewolves or dragons. Culturally, arts deemed feminine are reading, writing, and anything tactical, and men are seen as uncouth for daring to participate in such manners of expression. Lastly, people are put into a caste system based upon their eye color, the lighter, such as blues to greens, having the most power, and browns to blacks left comparable to Hindu Untouchables. From this we gather that our society would puzzle this world as we are puzzled by this world. Magic and magical beasts are commonplace and there is an overarching ‘’saving the world’’ plot of immense size and scale which is also prominent in High Fantasy, most notably the Lord of the Rings. This is textbook High fantasy and demonstrates that Sanderson has a desire to construct a world out of the fabric of air and alien to Earth. His interest is not in a complete reflection of our reality, but instead a subversive method to show us the troubles of our society, such as social classes and inequality. When building his genre, he takes into account a creativity that must be inspired, but also unique to itself, where everything feels like a distorted reality. I am fifteen, but reading the Stormlight Archives made me feel like an infant once again, curious at these concepts which appear to mock my reality. This greatly differs from Martin who uses history as direct portrayal of reality. There is little mistaking it. Martin is heavily influenced by the Middle Ages. Events such as the Red Wedding, are shown to be a parallel circumstance to The Black Dinner, a true historical event. There are knights, wars, political intrigue, a monarchy, feudalism, language which uses sparse newfound terms and actually takes from previous forms of English, a social structure which reflects not just European medieval history, but the complete Eurasian network on one continent, as we see with the Summer Isles, The Free Cities and Dorne. These examples are apparent enough that ASOIAF could easily be an alt-history text, and little would change of it. Magic has little concern within these books, but it does exist, and it also does paradoxically impact its plot. Stay with me, but I will have to introduce my other twinning term of Low Fantasy. Defined as fantasy which occurs in a world that heavily reflects or could truly be our own, like Harry Potter or Percy Jackson for an extreme metric which falls upon Urban Fantasy. We see here that in a normal world, set in the basis of reality, magic is not assimilated or normal. Instead, it impedes our characters and pushes them into the unknown. It is as new to them as it is to us. We are learning with Jon Snow as he discovers that he might be a Warg. We are as astounded as Dany when her dragons catch from their eggs. We treat the Others as much as a tall tale, even when greeted to them a multitude of times with the assistance of dramatic irony. Martin reflects and critiques our world, not by putting us in a new one where criticism must be newly constructed, but by presenting us with well, us. He tells us our history and asks us to answer for ourselves how we feel about it and does it by listening not to our future or present, but to our past. Martin demonstrates, with Low Fantasy, that the wars, the oligarchs, the death, and the Others have happened before. It is not your fault that you did not know of it summer child, but it will be your fault if you continue to remain sightless under the white silks of ignorance. Both authors with their subgenres, do as books and art in general always do with a whetstone of their written work: they sharpen the world’s blade until you can see your own reflection within it. Then they hold that blade to your temple as if fitting for the kill, but instead of drilling the bastard sword into your skull, they place your clumsy fingers to the pommel and ask you, “What are you going to do about it?’’ BACK TO TOP

Back to Articles Editorial Back to Sections College Essay Noa Cordova Volume 5 Issue 5 July 5, 2025 Image Provided by Noa Cordova In 1300 Words or Less, Advise Incoming Seniors on College Essay Writing “Some colleges require submission of the personal essay with your Common App. ” It’s the final tab on the Common App, prompting you to summarize your whole life story in 650 words or less, except, it’s not. College essays provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate an integral part of yourself that the academic achievements on your transcript and extracurricular activities on your resume cannot reveal. College admissions officers should meet you through your writing. While it could, your essay does not have to cover monumental life experiences, it could cover something seemingly insignificant, but of great value to you. Choosing a topic challenges you to pinpoint significant experiences or details to develop an essay. Ideally, you should brainstorm essay topic ideas during your senior summer so you can start drafting over the summer or early fall with guidance from your English teachers. While the Common App essay prompts open early August, you’re not required to answer a specific prompt, and the prompts do not vary much year to year, so if you have an idea, feel free to start developing it before the Common App releases prompts. One of the best pieces of advice I received was to approach your essay as a creative writing piece, according to Mrs. Mansfield, an AP Literature teacher and college essay advisor to her senior students. Typically, we associate essays with research and arguments, but in this case, it’s a personal narrative, and you have the creative freedom to make it a distinctive, enthralling writing piece. According to The Ivy Institute, a college advice blog, admissions officers spend about 90 seconds reviewing personal essays. With this in mind, it's crucial to capture admissions officers’ attention. To do this effectively, begin with a strong hook and “show, don’t tell”, as Mrs. Mansfield stresses to her seniors. Get Them Hooked A hook, an attention-grabbing opening statement, serves to keep a reader interested in a piece of writing. A few generous Class of 2025 seniors shared their hooks as examples. Some hooks introduce the topic directly, putting readers in the writer's shoes, eager to want to hear their story. For example: “‘Why do you try so hard at school?’” “‘People are happy when I get good grades.’” Using dialogue as a hook creates a fly-on-the-wall moment for readers, including them in an explanatory conversation in the writer’s life. “If you look in the mirror and don’t like what you see, you can find out firsthand what it’s like to be me.” To an angsty twelve-year-old listening to My Chemical Romance’s song, “The End.” From the album The Black Parade for the first time, these lyrics perfectly described what it felt like to “be me.” Song lyrics, or quotes, are other effective ways to hook readers. Additionally, their sources naturally reveal the writer’s interests along with their essay topic. In this case, readers learn about the students’ love for alternative rock music and how the lyrics resonated with their self-image journey. Other functional hooks leave the essay’s topic mysterious, which may intrigue admissions officers because they can’t anticipate the essay’s direction. For example: “I hate talking about my dad. Not my dad as a person, but rather what’s inside of him. The thing that has weighed over my family for twelve years.” This essay’s strategically vague hook introduces a mysterious “thing” that significantly impacted this student’s life and leaves readers in suspense, only anticipating a compelling, touching narrative. “I was the last to find out.” This short, cryptic hook’s ambiguity sets up an essay that could take almost any direction. The writer shared the essay discussed their heritage and experiences as the youngest siblings where they were the last to find out about their family’s past, deaths in the family or the realities of their refugee family; the writer takes a simple idea in their life and takes their essay in a complex direction, which the hook leaves unpredictable. Lastly, I’ll share mine. “I was an Egyptian mummy once.” A seemingly contradictory hook can add a unique flair to your essay, much like the mysterious hooks; not only do you leave the topic a mystery, but it prompts readers to keep reading to figure out how an implausible statement makes sense by the end of your essay. Show Don’t Tell The idea that you should show who you are rather than tell enhances your essay and makes it flow like a narrative rather than a factual essay you’d write in an academic setting. You can show certain attributes through techniques, including, but not limited to, dialogue (internal or external), metaphors, or describing an experience in detail. Rather than tell an admissions officer, “I am proud of my culture,” describe a cultural event or influences of your culture in your daily life. Instead of writing, “I am always thinking about others,” add dialogue outlining an interaction that highlights your thoughtfulness. Use italics , bold words , underlined words , or write in CAPITAL LETTERS to visually grab your reader’s attention and distinguish internal thoughts or yelling from regular writing. By the end, as Mrs. Mansfield tells her students, a phrase like “this made me who I am today” should be unnecessary and omitted altogether from your final draft because your essay should demonstrate that your topic impacted you and “made you who you are” without explicitly stating it. Supplementary Essays, Supplementary Advice Although your college essay gets sent to each college as your main essay, most colleges require one or more supplemental essays, which are shorter than your college essay. When choosing a topic, consider writing about something the rest of your application doesn’t reflect; avoid repeating yourself and aim to show as many sides of yourself as possible. A common supplementary essay is the “why this college” essay. In my experience, it’s best to treat this prompt like a mini-research task. You might love the college but find yourself with a limited ability to describe why, or you may not be that interested in the college, so answering the “why” prompt is especially challenging. You should consult the college’s website to learn about course offerings, student life, and most importantly, the school’s culture. If you know what you want to major in, check the program for that college and pick distinct aspects of the program unique to the college, not something most colleges have, like a study abroad opportunity. You can also discuss a club or activity you did throughout high school that you’d like to continue throughout your college years. For example, for my “why” essays, I found the names of each school newspaper and expressed my interest in joining. University social media pages on Instagram and TikTok can give you helpful insight into what university life is like at a particular school. The most important thing about a “why” essay is specificity, demonstrating your interest by naming opportunities to show you’ve looked into the school and prove to the college that you can fit within their community. Final Advice (200 words or less) You’ve likely heard it before, but I’ll reiterate it: write about what you want to write about, not what you think admissions officers want to read. Writing what you think admissions officers want to read risks originality and authenticity, arguably the most important components of a successful essay. If your essay is causing you immense stress, remember, the admissions officer reviews your application holistically, so it’s just one small aspect of a bigger picture they’re considering. Test out different topics, write rough drafts, experiment with words and perspectives, and while looking at others’ examples can be inspiring, be careful not to compare your writing harshly. Don’t hesitate to ask trusted people for assistance, without diminishing your voice. Best of luck, incoming seniors, with telling your story in 650 words or less. BACK TO TOP

Back to Articles Editorial Back to Sections The Toxicity of Social Media Leah Ally Volume 4 Issue 4 May 29, 2024 Image Provided by Elaine Ching It is no mystery that we are living in a world full of technology, with unlimited access to millions of websites and apps that have shaped our world over the past few decades. With the rise of the internet, social media apps such as TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat have also gained popularity among millions of users. Young teens are the most active on these apps and are heavily influenced by what they see online whether posted by their peers or strangers. Regardless of age or maturity, it is crucial to understand the numerous effects of creating a social media account. While social media can be beneficial in numerous ways with entertainment and staying connected to others, it can also encourage cyberbullying, create unsafe environments, and may be addictive. According to the Oxford Dictionary, cyberbullying is “the use of information technology to bully a person by sending or posting text or images of an intimidating or threatening nature.” Bullying has always been prevalent in schools and workplaces, but it can now occur through your computer screen or cellphone. The reason cyberbullying is so common is because it can be done at anytime, anywhere, and to anyone (Peebles 1). With anonymous users and no supervision, online bullying makes for an easy form of harassment. Like traditional bullying, racial discrimination, gender bias, or differences in religion are the most popular causes of taunting online. Victims of cyberbullying often face self-esteem issues, mental health struggles, and even thoughts of hurting themselves or others. While telling a trusted adult or blocking their bully is best to resolve these issues, many kids feel ashamed to do so. Additionally, some may even feel that telling a parent or guardian may risk getting their online privileges taken away. However, safety is the most important priority, and reaching out for help, not engaging with the bully, and saving evidence are the best ways to address it. One of the primary concerns regarding social media is the issue of privacy. Users often share personal information, photos, and updates without fully considering the consequences. This oversharing can leave many people vulnerable to identity theft, online scams, and even real-life threats such as stalking. The ease with which personal information can be accessed and exploited on social media platforms underscores the importance of being cautious about what we share online. It is important to have strong passwords, avoid clicking on random links, and be wary of phone calls from unrecognizable numbers (FDIC 1). Another significant challenge posed by social media is the spread of misinformation and fake news. With the rise of algorithm-driven content, false information can quickly go viral and influence public opinion. This not only erodes trust in traditional media sources but also undermines critical thinking and informed decision-making. The prevalence of misinformation on social media can create a climate of confusion and distrust, compromising the quality of public discourse. It is best to get your news from sources that have a long-standing reputation for accurate and reliable coverage. Furthermore, the culture of comparison and validation driving social media can have detrimental effects on users' mental health. The pressure to present an idealized version of one's life online can lead to feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, and even anxiety or depression. The constant exposure to curated images of success, beauty, and happiness can distort perceptions of reality and contribute to a sense of disconnection and isolation among users. Body image issues are prevalent among impressionable teens which often results in eating disorders that can be detrimental both physically and mentally. It is important to avoid measuring up to unrealistic standards and to understand that social media often portrays a curated version of people’s lives. Social media addiction is a topic that has caused much concern for as long as it has been around. It refers to the excessive and compulsive use of social media apps that can have negative effects on mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. Internet addiction can have a variety of causes, including the fear of missing out, boredom, and the stream of social connections (Jelinek). With constant notifications, texts, and features such as likes, users can stay engaged as it triggers a sense of pleasure and reward. Additionally, social media has become a center for communication and popular trends which further encourages users to urgently stay connected and be “part of the crowd.” Besides spending excessive amounts of time on social media there are numerous other signs of addiction. For instance, neglecting face-to-face interactions, feeling irritable without social media, and experiencing a seemingly uncontrollable decline in productivity are signs of addiction. Limiting screen time and setting boundaries can solve these issues while also finding new activities that bring satisfaction. With balance, social media can have numerous benefits. For instance, it allows connection between friends and family especially if they may live far away. We can easily share our thoughts, experiences, and photos with others, fostering a sense of community. With a platform for self-expression, creativity, and discovering new interests, it is easy to be inspired by the actions of others. Whether it is staying informed about current events, finding resources about various topics, or connecting with a community to find support, a healthy balance in using social media can enhance our lives. All in all, there are numerous factors to understand and acknowledge about social media. It is necessary to prioritize safety, mental health, and moderation when using the internet as it can quickly become a toxic environment. Struggles with navigating the online world are common, however, there are always solutions to overcome and improve social media safety. With balance, the internet can be an exciting place for entertainment and information. Sources: FDIC: Avoiding Scams and Scammers Is there a link between social media and depression?

Back to Articles Art & Culture Back to Sections Culture Society Celebrates Chinese New Year By Barnit Kaur Volume 1 Issue 6 March 18, 2021 Original photos from the Culture Society On January 21st and February 11th, the Culture Society at North High School hosted an event in celebration of Chinese New Year. In the event, we had two members of the Culture Society who celebrate Chinese New Year, Lucy Wu and Elaine Ching teach us about the various traditions and characteristics about Chinese New Year. From the presentations they prepared, we learned about what Chinese New Year was, festive decorations, traditional dishes, Chinese sayings, and the Chinese Zodiac. Along with learning about the traditions of Chinese New Year, we also had two fun little arts and crafts activities. Lucy taught us how to make Chinese New Year lanterns, and Elaine taught us how to make Origami Oxen, since 2021 is the year of the Ox. Some of the festive decorations that used in Chinese New Year are lanterns, firecrackers, and red envelopes, which children receive money in. The red envelopes are meant as a blessing and sign of good luck. Chinese New Year is also celebrated in many Asian countries besides China and is based upon the Lunar Calendar and cycle of the moon. Unlike western zodiacs, Chinese zodiacs are based upon the year rather than the month. When you celebrate Chinese New Year, you get together with your family and eat a big meal together. Also, it is a tradition to wear red to scare away bad luck. One of our fellow members of the Culture Society, Cody Sung, shared his thoughts and opinion about the event. “I think the event was very fun and educational! Especially the origami ox. I made a pretty good ox. All the information is on par, at least to my knowledge. I think everyone had a great time and I hope to do more events like this!” Personally, I agree with Cody! The event was very entertaining and educational, and the arts and crafts part of the event was my favorite. I had a great time, and I also hope for more events like this.
