Hobbies at EGHS

Hobbies at Eastern Guilford

by Jesus Ruiz

 

There is a wide range of hobbies at Eastern Guilford high school from sports to movies to going to the mall with friends. Most people at Eastern do their hobby because it is fun and also because it relieves the stress  of the students from being at school all day.

The hobbies specifically are soccer to just hanging with friends as said by my good friend Brandon Ramirez. A lot of people like sports just because its fun and most people spend 61+$ a year on it. When I asked my good friend Arlette Carvaja  what her favorite hobby was, she said to do adventurous things . Also, when I asked why she liked her hobby she said life's too short to be boring. 8/10 people prefer to play a sport rather then go to the movies or to the mall. Those are just some of the hobbies at Eastern Guilford high school.

DJ De'Aundre's Bringin' the Fashion to You!

DJ De'Aundré's Top 5 (but with FASHION!)

DJ De'Aundré has taken a slightly different approach instead of bringing you hot songs to hit the air waves, I'm bringing you the top stores to buy the hottest clothes.

I asked students which of the following store they stop for their shoes and clothes.

Shoe stores:
I asked multiple students what store they buy their cool sneaks.

For Journey's, seven students said that they buy mostly Polos and Toms and also Jansport backpacks

For Footlocker, eight students said they shop their for their Jordans and KD's

For Footaction, two students said they shop their for their Adidas and you guessed it Jordans

For Shoe Dept., four students said they shop there for presents for their loved ones.

For clothes:
I asked students what are their favorite store to buy the latest style of clothes.

For JC Penny eight students say they shop here for awesome looking jeans from Levi to Arizona and shirts and I have seen these shirts they are fabulous and make the wearer look amazing.

For Dillards seven students said they shop here for formal wear mostly such as prom dresses being the most popular choice.

For Belk five students said they shop here for the same reason as JC Penny.

For H&M three students said they shop here because they have the coolest style for cheap prices.

I also interviewed three amazing girls who gave me an insight on what they like when it comes to fashion.

     First up is Sierra. I asked Sierra what were her favorite brand of shoes? Sierra said "Uggs and Toms" By the way they make Uggs for guys as well in Journey's. I also asked her what celeb she think is the most fashionable and why? She said "Beyonce. Because she is gorgeous and inspiring." The final question I asked her was what was her favorite clothing store? She said "Forever 21. Because they have the latest style."

    Second, I interviewed Ra'Nijah. I asked Ra'Nijah the same question I asked Sierra. I asked Ra'Nijah what were her favorite brand of shoes? She said "Vans and Toms" I love vans I have like three pairs. I also asked her what celeb she think is the most fashionable? She said "Katy Perry. Because she is her own person." I agree with her completely because she doesn't always try to go with new styles she always buy outfits that fit her personality. I also asked her what was her clothing store? She said "Target. Because you can buy a lot of stuff and be fashionable and still have money left over."

Last, but most certainly not least, is Hannah. I asked Hannah what were her favorite brand of shoes? She said "Toms". I also asked her what celebrity she thought was the most fashionable? She said " Shaley Woodly (from Divergent). Because she is inspirational." I also asked her what was her favorite clothing store? She said "Rainbow. Because it's a cheaper version of Rue 21."

EGHS and Their Pets

EGHS and Their Pets!

 

 

             I love animals, especially monkeys. I've always wanted a pet monkey, and I love monkeys because when I was younger my mom used to call me a monkey because I used to climb trees and on top of things. Because I have a heart for animals, I went around the school and found people who had animals and ask them questions.

 

 

      

 

          I did a survey on three students about their pets

 

 

 

 Mrs. Jobe

 

What's your favorite animal?                                 Cats

Why is that your favorite animal?                          Loving and sweet

Would you consider that animal family?                Yes, all of our pets are friendly

 

 

 

Name: Laross Nickerson

 

What's your favorite animal?                                  Dogs

Why is that your favorite animal?                           Because they're entertaining

Would you consider that animal family?                 Because they're just like humans

         

 

 

 

Name: Taylor Smith

 

What's your favorite animal?                                Cats

Why is that your favorite animal?                         Because they are loving and playful

Would you consider that animal family?               Yes

 

 

 

 

I did a survey on what animal people liked most.

 

What are the most animal people like?

What Video Games Do You Play?

Even Cats LOVE Video Games

What kind of video games do you like to play? Do you like exciting war games full of blood? What about a game where you get to start a career and fall in love? No matter the game, teens all have one thing in common…  They love video games! Video games are one pass time everyone enjoys. Whether you’re playing the latest Pokémon game, Modern Warfare III, or Minecraft; video games are loved by everyone!




At our high school I surveyed what student’s favorite types of video game were. The results were as followed: fifteen said Action, six said Sci-Fi/Fantasy, two Reality, eight said Adventure, eleven said Horror, and seven said Fighting/Competition. Clearly our school favors action games like Halo and Grand Theft Auto. On the other hand they dislike games like Harvest Moon and The Sims.

I also did another survey asking would you rather play video games by yourself or with friends/family. Five people said they would play by themselves and twenty one said with their friends. Finally I surveyed asking if you would rather play a classic or new video game. Thirteen people said that they would rather play a classic game rather than a new one, and fifteen said they’d rather play a new one. Our school likes to play games that our fresh off the shelf with friends.

Friends Play Games at Lunch

I interviewed three people about what they like about video games. I asked De’Sean Lott what kind of video games he liked, his response,” I like games with a lot of action, the bloodier the better.” I also asked him whether he liked a game with a short and sweet storyline or a long drawn out one, his response, “I would rather play a game that has a long storyline because it adds character development.” The last question I asked was wondering what his favorite game was, his answer, “Super Mario 64, because it’s a classic and I love the story.” De’Sean clearly likes a game with a lot of action!

I also interviewed Josh Acosta. I asked what kind of games he liked, his answer, “I like any games, just as long as it isn’t a racing game.” I asked him whether he liked a game with a short storyline or a long drawn out one, his response, “I prefer a game that has a long storyline because the game becomes boring if it is very short.” Finally I asked Josh what is favorite game is, his response, “Skyrim, because it is so much fun and full of action!” Give Josh a game and he’ll love it, just as long as it isn’t racing.

Quoia Nichols

My final interviewee was Quoia Nichols. I asked her what her favorite type of games was, she responded, “Fighting, because it is fun to beat up people.” I also asked her if she liked to play games with a long or short storyline, her answer, “It depends on the game, if it is a game where the focus is playing with others you don’t need a long storyline.” I also asked Quoia if what her favorite game was, her response, “Tekken, because it fun to fight other people.” Quoia loves to play any game that has fighting.



Our school has a thing for video games. If there is action or adventure, they will love it. I think our school loves to get together and play games together because video games are something you can do with all your friends, and no one will complain.



Some Popular Game Consoles

SEN1OR5

It's the time to step up to the plate and knock it out the park. Senior year is not about having fun and playing games all the time like you have in the past years . As seniors , you know that next year is a big year for you. You may or may not be going to college next year. It's is a stunning time but also a productive time to grow up and mature. Teachers are making classes as rigorous and hard for you as possible for good reasons. Don't get mad because someone is challenging you. Life as a seniors may seem preposterous but just talking to past seniors that are in college now, they tell me it is all worth it , because once you get to college it just gets harder.

 6 out of 10 seniors said that they like the way their teachers teach and 4 out of 10 said they did not . So some teachers are challenging you ! When asked how senior year has started off 7/10 seniors said that senior year has started out easy, which is phenomenal, but when I asked senior cheerleader Jessica Chang and senior student Tamara Meadows, they said that life as a senior is "stressful ".

 "Everything is going by so fast" said senior basketball player Quayson Williams, which it is . Life as a senior is like a non stop job . Next semester is going to be a really big step for most seniors because they may catch something called senioritis. Senioritis is when you get ready to get out of school and you really don't feel like doing anything else, but 7 out of 10 seniors said they don't thing they will catch senioritis. I guess we will see!

Travelling Abroad

Travelling Abroad 

      Remember that dream place you always wanted to travel to but since you don't have enough money, you couldn't go? Or when you got a chance to go somewhere, you absolutely loved the trip? Many have traveled all over the world in places like Brazil, Japan, France, China and even Australia! Travelling is usually a great escape from your normal surroundings. They are used to people's advantages when it comes to seeing the world.
 
      Some of the students I have interviewed have traveled state-wide in places such as California, Pennsylvania, New York and many other states. Some have travelled overseas in places like Korea, the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, Germany, Switzerland, the Bahamas and even Saudi Arabia. On my surveys, it is estimated that 15% of the people I surveyed want to travel to the mainland China, Paris (very cliché, but nice) and England. 13.33% want to travel to Australia and Korea. 7% want to go in places like the cold Moscow, Spain and even Greece! Creates a whole new definition of A Whole New World, doesn't it?
