Plants and people cannot grow in bad environments so people and plants do grow at costa because it is a great environment. People and plants also need all essential items to thrive and costa provides many different things to do. ]]> 2016-09-30 19:56:00 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127640614 https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127640697 I chose this photo because it shows where my friends and I eat. Mira Costa has a great community and I'm lucky to be able to meet these amazing people during lunch. I also really love the painting behind them. The arts program at Mira Costa is a big part of my life. It's a very successful department I hope to become more apart of in the future. ]]> 2016-09-30 19:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127640697 https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127640795 This is the expansive area near the center of the Costa campus. Many students refer to this as the "quad" and they like to spend their free time here socializing with friends and classmates.  This really shows how much Costa values friendship and socializing, because they dedicated all this space for it.  The quad is right at the center of the school, and it seems the ideal is also at the center of Costa's heart.]]> 2016-09-30 19:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127640795 https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127640870 I chose to take a picture of the flagpole in the quad. Although it might seem that the flagpole is relatively irrelevant, it is very important to this school. Not only do all students and faculty recite the Pledge of Allegience to the flag every day, this flag also resembles what this school's students try to act with, including honor, integrity, and respect.]]> 2016-09-30 19:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127640870 https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127640871 As the one who has been here longest, the tree knows the stress better than the rest]]> 2016-09-30 19:57:31 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127640871 https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127640993 D chose this photo because it's where everyone sits and talks.

Mira Costa Highschool provides many creative classes such as cinematic arts, yearbook, la vista, art class ect. This year I am taking cinematic arts, which is a class to express your creative artworks of film. A camera captures the essence of the originality and imagination in our school. ]]> 2016-09-30 20:03:05 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127641724 https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127641835 OI chose the quad to represent the essence of Mira Costa because that's where most people hang out and eat.

I chose to take a picture of the quad because it is the center of the school and is where many of the students hangout during snack, lunch, or any other free time during the day.

It has provided many for college and life in general. This school was a home for a time for each student it housed and provided the knowledge for.

No matter what time of day it is, there are always students in the library working on homework, studying or reading. I go to the library all the time because its a great place to get help and a good place to concentrate when trying to work or study. Without a library, a lot of students will loose a great place where they can do anything in. ]]> 2016-09-30 20:50:53 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127647643 oliverfcubillos https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127647669 The picture I chose is of the mural of a stampede of mustangs by the gym.

Before you get confused let me explain. To me, Costa can't be described in just one or two pictures. Everyone has a different view on what makes Costa Costa. You can be anyone you want, do anything you want(as long as it's school appropriate), and discover what really makes you who you are. Within this black screen, you can see whatever you want to see, and that is why I took this admittedly odd picture. ]]> 2016-09-30 20:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127647766 https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127647835 It's To me, Mira Costa is represented by this picture. The most important part of your high school career is getting involved and meating new people. This is exactly what lunch is about. At lunch you get to sit, eat, and bond with your friends. My friends and I sit here on this grassy area, which has made this spot really special to me. ]]> 2016-09-30 20:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127647835 eclipsehayden https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127647874 2016-09-30 20:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127647874 https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127647975 This is a picture of the baseball field.

I chose this because the field is a place where people of different schools and cities meet to play football. Also, our field leaves an impression of how our school is to the other teams we are playing. O
ur field leaves a good impression which is how the rest of Costa looks to other schools. ]]> 2016-09-30 20:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127648313 https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127648392 To me, MCHS is represented by the enterance.

Mira Costa is not just big, beautiful and clean, but classes are big too, new and full of modern supplies, and our teachers give us great education in all fields we want! And as we heard today in assembly it's all "for free"!!! Mira Costa is one of the best schools to be educated in because it gives the freedom of subjects' choice, of education, freedom for the inspiration, opportunities, and success in the future.  And as you see on my picture, another person is taking pictures of Mira Costa before weekend, because can't live without school even two days!!! ]]> 2016-09-30 21:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127650839 https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127656773 I chose this picture becuase this is where students can go to eat lunch.

This picture represents Costa to me because it is where the whole school can get together to support each other.  It represents the community of Costa and how we are a family.  It is also a place where we have fun.  We play together here on sports teams and have competitions.]]> 2016-10-01 02:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127660025 https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127662271
To me this one image represents the entire essence of Mira Costa High School. First, it is a representation of the community at MCHS because it is a symbol of the group of students who sit here everyday sharing common goals. Also, this picture embodies the values of kindness and friendship that Mira Costa represents. Lastly, it shows how the support of your peers is really important to the success of a student here at Costa. ]]> 2016-10-01 04:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127662271 https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/127663361 I chose a picture of Waller stadium because it is where many athletic events that MCHS has takes place. Over the decades, emotions of great determination and redemption have occurred. It is where all different levels of athletes gather to compete and have a terrific time. It's awesome to see teams battle relentless no mater what sport against one another to see who has proven to be better that day. It is also where we gather during Costa's varsity home football games every Friday night where chaos and excitement emerge from the crowd. As one final mention, it resembles the history of Mira Costa's athletics ever since there's been a stadium that was constructed there. It is something tha can bring us all together.

While the school is relaxed, high school can be scary. A lot of people say that High school can shape your life. While this can be true it is a very stressful topic. Mira Costa once you step on campus you realize that they help with the stress and makes it positive. That is why I think that this photo represents Mira Costa.]]> 2016-10-06 20:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/128978033 https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/129020522 I chose this picture of a room almost no one on campus knows exists. The colorguard room. I feel like this accurately represents how there are so many different people at Costa that sadly some wind up forgotten, but this room is a second home to myself and eleven other people who love this sport with all of our hearts. While it is sad that the only time we are appreciated is when people are given a break from football games to go get food during our show, we love our school and our 
sport and this little room is where the magic happens.]]> 2016-10-07 05:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_Wheeler/ku0jrxlsxufi/wish/129020522
