FROZEN IN ACTION Junior Thena Barzola travels all the way down to the snowy mountains of San De Bariloche, Argentina to live her dream of snowboarding with her mom. Barzola witnessed the beautiful mountains and the people's kindness while snowboarding for the first time in her life. "I've never snowboarded and it was tough for me at first. Snowboarding in front of many people for three days straight did humble me." Barzola said. "I never thought snowboarding can make you tumble as much as it can or even make you feel like you're losing control, but it feels like a rush, a good one." Photo by Thena Barzola

FUN TIMES
Senior Eli Martinez went to Paris, France during spring break to explore the Eiffel Tower, museums, and bakeries. He said it was the best trip of his life and he hopes to return again one day. “Paris felt like a movie set. I couldn’t stop staring at everything,” Martinez said. “I tried so many pastries, and honestly, I’ll never settle for American bread again.”
1. Change kicker its boring
2. First sentence should ALWAYS be present tense.
3. The second sentence was too basic and vague. Instead of saying how great the trip was, you should write about him engaging with the environment, use better vocabulary.
Reminder: In second sentences, don’t repeat what the quote will already say. Instead, paint the why or how behind the photo or action. Make it feel like a story, not a summary.
