Every Falcon Has A Story Briefs
Struggles Shaped Her Future
“I would describe myself as smart, nice and funny,” senior Kyla Nguyen said.
But if you ask other, they might use different words.
“The people that are closest to me know I have a more funny side, and I can be a little stubborn sometimes. Well, sometimes whenever I have a different opinion then someone, whenever I know I’m right, I will fight for what my opinion is.”
When asked about the most important event in her life, Kyla said, “Kind of a sad way to go, but I feel like one of the most important events that happened in my life was my parents’ divorce. It’s shaped the way I am and how things in the future will change.”
How does a divorce shape a person’s life or future?
“It’s shaped me. I kind of am more independent because my mom had three kids to take care of including me, so me and my siblings relied on each other and became more independent.”

From Dancing To Cleaning
“Probably when I made my freshman year dance team here. It was just a really exciting moment, and people I didn’t even know were coming up and hugging me, so that that was just really exciting,” junior Ashley Brown said.
So how does someone who enjoys dancing battle their stress?
“I like cleaning. Cleaning is a good way for me to get my stress away because it makes me feel like I’m ringing out all of the negative energy.”

One Girl’s Mission To Include Everyone
What do you value in life?
“Probably my church. I love going to my church and my youth group and being confirmed through church,” junior McKenzie Holmer said.
When asked how others would describe her, she said they see her as shy.
”I feel other people see me as kind,” Holmer said. “I’m always looking out for other people and trying to include everybody.”
For as shy as she sees herself or others see her, Holmer went out of her way for others.
“I always make sure everyone always has a partner in all of my classes, or in softball I make sure everyone is included.”

One Girl Scout’s Guide For A Safer Place
“l actually did a big Girl Scout project at a domestic violence shelter. It was called my Gold Award project, so I hope those people were able to find help from the garden and sensory walls that I built. It wasn’t necessarily something I did here, but it’s the legacy I hope to leave with those people,” junior Avery McKenna said.
She described herself, “I tend to be pretty positive, at least I hope to be.”
