Hills Review -- September 2024 Edition

Hills Review

It's Monday, September 9th, 2024 and welcome to the September edition of Hills Review -- the High School East Student Podcast. At the start of each month during the school year, we release a collection of student opinion pieces, stories, documentaries, and interviews. Our podcast is produced by members of the Podcasting and Film club – and is available on Soundcloud, as well as Spotify and Apple Podcasts. This week, we'll be hearing from several members of the class of 2025 who have stories and advice to share with the underclassmen, particularly those new to High School East. On Tuesday, Ambika Mathura reflects on the transition from middle school to high school – a time when many students start to take more rigorous courses and spend more time studying. Join Ambika as she describes her showdown with a high school geometry test–and how she learned from failure. Eventually, we all come across difficult tasks and challenging obstacles. On Wednesday, Ari Abelard, a member of the High School East track team, talks about what it was like facing a serious opponent for the first time–and what it took to succeed. Joshua Pollack, a board member of the Amnesty Club at High School East, takes time on Thursday to talk about a trip he took with the club to raise money in the Students Rebuild Challenge. During the trip, circumstances required Joshua to adapt to his surroundings and to change plans to produce the results he'd hoped for. While it might seem like your time in high school will last forever, it will, one day, come to an end. On Friday, Remi Asghar recalls how early in his athletic career his coach shared some advice that has helped put his time at High School East into perspective. Time can be a very challenging thing to manage. Spending your time to be more efficient can make an impactful difference and can lead to a less stressful life overall. It is much more important to use your time to be more efficient, rather than spending your time procrastinating. Right now, Joseph Masalin will provide you all with a story from his own high school experiences to provide insightful advice on how to manage your own time to work more efficiently. Hills Review is produced by members of the Podcasting and Filmmaking Club. If you are interested in becoming a contributor, see Mr. Beatty in room 216. Welcome back to school – and have a great week.
