Anthony Daher shared that high school taught him how to stay positive and open-minded through difficult times. “There was a lot of negativity surrounding me, and it was definitely the people I hung out with, but just knowing that negativity could help like, push me in the right direction filled me with motivation to keep pushing, regardless of whatever happened,” said Daher. This mindset taught him to be more open with others and to stay away from negativity. For Daher his two friends, seniors Matthew Jimenez and Steven Julio also helped to shape him into who he is today. “They set a standard for me, and being alongside them for a good amount of time in my life has set a point in my life to where I have to meet and I want to meet,” said Daher.

From left to right juniors America Jimenez, Lexander Piatos, Jocelyn Cook, Jayden Luna, and Daniel Lopez began filling out the boundaries worksheet that was given out. After everyone filled out their papers they were passed back to one of the speakers and were kept for a game that would be played after everyone was finished filling out their paper. “I’ve always thought that women’s rights was something that we needed to speak more about, and I was hoping to find more things out about these topics here, and I think it’s just good that a topic like boundaries is being talked about,” said Cook.
