More than six months into the war in Gaza and with dimming hopes for a cease-fire deal, Palestinians there are growing more critical of Hamas, which some of them blame for the months-long conflict that has destroyed the territory — and their lives. The war has displaced most of the Gaza Strip’s population, killed tens of thousands of people and pushed the enclave toward famine, its infrastructure in ruins. The Israeli military waged a punishing campaign to eliminate Hamas after the group, which ruled Gaza for 17 years, attacked Israel on Oct. 7, killing an estimated 1,200 people and abducting more than 250.

This is my first year at Heritage, and at first everything was very new to me. At my old school, we did a lot of things differently, for example we didn’t have to wear uniforms, we used chromebooks instead of ipads, and lots more. It took a while to adjust, but from math competition and other classes, I made a lot of new friends. Also, at my old school, most of the homework could be done by me at school. But now, there is a lot more stuff to do, especially because we are also entering into high school. I started to learn how to better manage my time to maximize my efficiency so that I will still have more time to do other things after I finish the required things for school. Also, I am very serious about math competition, and this year I was in both the middle school program and the high school program. Both took quite a bit of time, as we would have practices every Tuesday and Saturday, as well as weekly testing Monday thru Wednesday. But, it was a very fun experience this year to be with both the middle schoolers and high schoolers in math comp.

I’ve liked playing basketball since I was really little, and it is a really good way to have a lot of fun after finishing all my schoolwork. This is a picture of me balling in my youth.

I feel that while Artificial Intelligence can be useful in the modern world, right now it is a bit too much. The main reason is that it is so easy to access by anyone in the public. Lots of students can easily use ChatGPT or other AI to easily mimic an essay. Of course, there are AI-detecting applications, but still with a bit of modification it would seem as the student “wrote” their own essay, but in reality they are just copying from the internet and not learning anything. This can be very dangerous for our future generations as they will not be learning very much. I think a pretty simple solution would to be make it only available to certain people that need it. For example researchers. If they need a data analysis or some ideas, they can easily look on an AI. But, when you give it to the public it is very easy for someone to make use of it for bad. In conclusion I think that even though AI has lots of great benefits, it also is very dangerous and cause some bad things, for instance students copying essays and not learning anything.

Jimmy the couch potato

Jimmy

is like a couch potato.

He sits on the couch and

eats potatoes all day.

He’s so lazy that

he refuses to go to

Walmart

to buy potato chips.

When Jimmy’s parents

told him to get a job,

Jimmy just started eating

corn on the cob.

When

a mysteriously massive mob

threw hairy hogs at his home,

he yelled, “rob

someone else!”

We did this at my house and it was the funniest thing ever, since he is really small so we put him in the suitcase for hide and seek and it was really funny.

It is funny with the elmo fire thing because it burns so much when you put hand sanitizer on a cut.

Dark humor that I found on tiktok, not meant to be really funny but it’s a pretty good meme (you know what it means so I’m not going to explain)

It really sucks to be accused of something that you didn’t actually do, that’s why the person’s face is so shocked.
