Hello:) My name is Windy like the literal wind and I'm from Fremont Highschool. I LOVE art of any kind and I want to pursue a career in it when I'm older. I play the guitar once in a awhile, but I'm still a beginner so my fingertips hurt a lot. Nowadays, I am making a lot of art and having fun spending time with my family. I love hanging out with my friends and getting boba because we can goof around a lot. I like playing games as well like Stardew Valley, CSGO, and many more. I'm a introverted person, but that don't mean I don't like meeting new people. I hope that everyone has a great day!

Whats up my dudes my name is Katha. I’m from Lynbrook and I have a dog named Simba.

Some things you should know about me:

I emailed the president when I was in 4th grade trying to persuade him to add one more color to traffic lights. I also included a joke for mr obama to read. enjoy https://tinyurl.com/2014katha

One thing on my bucket list is that I want to rent a mansion for a night with my friends

If I could have any superpower it would be the power of manipulation

My most prized possession is a letter I wrote to my kindergarten crush and never actually sent. It’s very embarrassing

I can recite almost the entire shrek movie by memory

The first word I ever said after mama or papa was motorcycle

I swam for 8 years and played instruments for 10, but can only hold my breath for 30 seconds

enjoy this very attractive pic

- The picture below was taken two summers ago when I went to Egypt with my Mom and sister. We were at the Castle of Qait Bai in Alexandria and even though it was like a solid 115 degrees, it was the most magical experience i've ever had in my life. I never realized how young America is until I visited CASTLES in Egypt.
- I basically never take selfies, so I had to look for ten minutes in all my whatsapp groups to find one.
- I have two older brothers and a younger sister.
- I had big plans for renovating my room this summer, but ive been sleeping in front of the TV for the past two months while my room stays virtually the same. I've painted the walls so far (it used to be some nasty combination of pink and purple with a strip of wallpaper with green butterflies on it) and now three walls are white with a teal accent wall. And I've painted the cubbies white (they were also pink). But I still havent actually gone into decoration or painting the bed frame.
- My family regularly hears me say "let's go" in random occasions like when i'm washing dishes and I keep adding to the list of places I want to travel to every time they ask me "where?". The list is currently Turkey, Morocco, Indonesia, Malaysia, back to Egypt, (specifically Dahab), and all beaches (Big Sur is on the top of that list).
- I can't cook. I'm literally told to get out every time my troop is trying to cook anything whenever we go camping. I'm only allowed to make the campfire. I mean, you flip one pancake wrong and all of a sudden everyone's shooing you out.
- I love backpacking, camping, and nature in general. I climb everything I can and my mom doesn't trust me whenever i'm out in  nature. She's held me by my shirt before.

-This picture is of me jumping into a giant pit I dug at the beach.
-I play basketball and enjoy working out and staying active.I believe Star Wars the Clone Wars is one of the best shows of all time. I love to read,  My eye sight is horrible, so I wear glasses except for when I misplace them (like right now). The beach and the mountains are places I go when I need to re-center, and I enjoy older music. R&B, Rock, Anything from the 70's and 80's, and Soul music are all on my playlist. When I was young I had a butterfly that died, so I preserved him in a plastic container and had a ceremony for him. RIP Buttercup.

I was in Middle College last year

I grew up in Egypt for most my life, I moved here when I was in eighth grade.

I learnt everything in french for 7 years, everything from science to history to math was in french. I can't speak french anymore but I can understand it.

I can understand 4 languages: english, spanish, arabic, and french.

When I have free time I like to play guitar, my friend kalon got me interested in guitar playing this year and so far i've been really into it.

I've been watching full length joe rogan podcasts since freshman year so I have a weird amount of random facts in my head and I also probably wasted a lot of time doing that everyday.

I like to play video games, my favorites are gta, cs go, and star wars battlefront

This is a picture of me, my sister and my brother. My sister is 13 years old and she is a freshman at monta vista and my brother is 4 years old.

Watsup my name is Quentin. I have 5 sisters and 2 dogs. I used to play waterpolo for homestead. I like doing physical activities such as playing basketball at the park with my friends, skateboarding, and going on hikes and exploring nature. During quarantine I started getting into cooking and baking, but now my sister took over the kitchen so I just let her do her thing. I miss being able to hangout with big groups of friends and going to see my favorite artists in concert so I eagerly wait for the end of this pandemic. My dream vacation is going to an exotic island with amazing food and just surfing for days.

Hey y’all! My name is Laura and I’m a first year MC student from Tino. I’m one of the last people left in the world who doesn’t have TikTok, so I’ve been spending my time in quarantine instead working at Jamba Juice, studying for my summer classes, and trying (unsuccessfully) to stop myself from buying new Birkenstocks. I love going to the beach, long drives w/ a true crime or politics podcast on in the background, and getting impulsive piercings (pictured below). I did theatre tech at Tino and can complain about faulty lights and loud actors for literal hours:) When I’m not in school, I’m probably doing work for my youth leadership group or staring at my dream schools on the East Coast:) Looking forward to getting know y’all better and hopefully in-person soon!

Hi! My name is Kira, I come from homestead and this is my first year of middle college! My favorite school subject is biology and I am planning to pursue that in college. Additionally, I am half japanese and half white, and am also able to speak, write, and read japanese. I LOVE spicy foods/snacks like takis and pickled jalapenos. I’m also really into fashion and makeup so if that whole STEM major thing doesn't work out, I think I would want to pursue cosmetology. Over quarantine, I've literally just been intensely watching tik toks and midnight gospel on netflix and protesting. I’m sooo excited to get to know everyone!

Hey I'm Rami and I'm a returning Middle College Student. Before coming here to Middle College, I went to Cupertino High. I'm the middle child, with an older and younger brother. Over quarantine I've spent my time playing through my game backlog, watching various shows and anime, and lowering my Rubik's Cube time. I also tried to learn how to play the piano but I never got around to actually practicing. I'm currently playing through Persona 3 and watching Demon Slayer. My best Rubik's Cube solve is 37 seconds (and yet thats only the third best time at Middle College as far as I know) though I'm slowly improving. I look forward to getting to know all of you =D

Hi all, my name is Will, and I am a returning middle college student this year! I previously attended Monta Vista but came to middle college seeking a new environment and curriculum.

I have an older sibling who is a grad student at Michigan. Fun fact, I am actually in Michigan right now visiting him. A lot of my family members have attended Michigan, so I hope I'll be able to go there too. Fingers crossed!

With the extra time we have had over the past 6 months, I have been wasting my life away on TikTok, YouTube and Netflix! :) I have just finished binging ATLA once again, best show of all time. I also really enjoy programming. I have been working on a bunch of CS related projects over the summer! Oh yeah, and I have been doing college apps which has not been fun. Writing essays takes forever.

I am in the middle! This is an older picture, my mom isn't with us right now. 😊

I have a younger brother who is quite annoying, but I still love him. I played ice hockey for 12 years so far and I was offered a position on a team in the UPHSL. I have a black belt and was also a taekwondo instructor, but I quit because I was getting a lot of work from school. I would really like to have a dog, specifically a siberian husky. My favorite subject/area of study is computer science and I would like to pursue a career in it. Important Note: WATCH Cobra Kai, it's a short, but good series on netflix.  I also love ATLA, The Office, and Rick and Morty. I love playing video games too.

What is up. My name's Richard. Last name is pronounced shoe.

Fun facts about me:

- I love to do things outside. Biking, hiking, swimming, and grass volleyball are awesome. (The ocean is the best though)
- I'm 5'8, actually 5' 7.5" but hey rounding exists. (I envy you Sean for being an entire foot taller than me) I can jump 35" high with my legs straight though!
- I currently play volleyball as a hitter/setter/libero but used to competitively swim.
- I love the aquarium keeping hobby. I have a 40 gallon aquarium at home and a 55 gallon and 10 gallon I need to put into use. Favorite fish has got to be the Silver Arowana or German Blue Ram.

I'm looking forward to working with you all!

"It's your boy, Shizzy Mac"... but you can call me Sean!

In the picture below, I'm holding up a t-shirt that I got from a co-worker (her name is Dena... maybe you've heard of her?). The t-shirt is from Ear Hustle, a podcast that she introduced me to last year, that remains one of my favorites. Some other podcasts I enjoy are Serial, In the Dark, Pod Save America, and Slow Burn. With an hour and a half commute to De Anza College (each way!), I've come to really enjoy podcasts to pass the time in the car. When I'm not listening to podcasts, I usually have on the news or political talk.

Some other (kind of) interesting facts about me are:

I attended San Diego State University (#GoAztecs) for my undergraduate education and majored in Political Science with a minor in Philosophy.

I earned a master's degree in Education from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA.

My students in Philadelphia gave me the nickname "Shizzy Mac" when they learned my first name is Sean (and last name initial is "M"). Apparently, he's a local (Philly) hip hop artist? The student who came up with the nickname would enter my classroom every day by shouting, "It's your boy, Shizzy Mac!"

I shot a hole-in-one (playing golf) when I was 15-years-old. Luck > skill.

I'm 6'7", which means I hit my head on things quite frequently, have to order clothes in tall sizes, and always get asked by strangers to grab products that are just out of reach when I'm at the grocery store. Yeah, annoying.

I bought my first hybrid car about a year ago to use as a commuter car. The gas savings were great... until coronavirus hit. Now it sits and collects ash in my driveway.
