ISNHS 124th Birthday
Maxwell’s Bittersweet Goodbye
It feels like just yesterday we were counting down the long years until graduation, but now we are suddenly down to our final few days together as Maxwell. While we are all exhausted from the endless schoolwork and academic stress, there is a bittersweet feeling in knowing this chapter is closing. We’ve spent four years together, and we’ve grown so attached to each other’s presence that it’s hard to imagine not seeing these familiar faces every day. We are definitely ready for a break, but we aren't ready to say goodbye to the bond we’ve built especially with my closest friends.
The countless nights spent worrying about deadlines and finishing activities have finally led us to this moment. We’ve survived every difficult exam and long lecture by leaning on each other, turning our shared stress into inside jokes. Even though we’re tired of the many schoolworks, those moments of laughter are what we’ll actually remember. It’s strange to think that the people who saw us at our most stressed are the same ones who made these four years worth it.
Now, we are moving closer toward our own dreams, but a part of us will always stay connected to each other. Though we are excited to finally escape the academic pressure and enjoy our vacation, leaving the main building feels harder than we expected. We may be graduating as individuals, but we will always carry the memories of being Maxwell students together. All was well, Maxwell.

National Women's Month
March is a special time dedicated to celebrating the strength and beauty of women all around the world. We celebrate this month because women worked incredibly hard to achieve the freedom and rights they have today. It is a time to remember their history and the long journey they took to be heard. Their courage has shaped our world into a better place for everyone.
However, we should appreciate the women in our lives every single day rather than just during this one month. Whether they are our mothers, sisters, teachers, or friends, their impact never stops. A simple thank you or a small gesture of kindness can mean so much throughout the year. True respect is shown through consistent support and love, not just a calendar date.
Every woman is a masterpiece of strength who deserves to be recognized for her daily efforts. We must continue to uplift them and acknowledge the hard work they do in every role they play. Let’s make it a habit to value their voices and celebrate their achievements all the time. After all, the world is much brighter when we honor the women who help build it.
The Art of the Mind
Whenever someone asks what I want to become, my mind immediately floods with a mix of excitement and uncertainty because my heart has always been drawn to the world of art. However, the reality of today's economy makes me hesitate to follow that path as I am determined to build a future that is both successful and meaningful. If I cannot make a living through my own creations, I will simply switch to studying God’s first and greatest masterpiece, the people around me and the way our minds work.
Now that I am in 10th grade, my goals should finally be clear. My main focus is to become a successful psychologist so I can help people understand themselves better. I am determined to reach all my dreams while keeping my family right by my side throughout this journey. Every effort I put into my studies will hopefully be worth it in the end. I want to build a career where I can make a real difference in the lives of those struggling with their mental health. It won't be an easy path, but knowing I have the support of my loved ones gives me the strength to keep going. I imagine a future where I am a licensed professional who can provide for my family and make them proud of my achievements. Success to me means fulfilling my passion while sharing every milestone with the people I love the most.
Reaching these big dreams will take a lot of hard work and many years of study. I am determined to face every challenge as long as I have my family supporting me. Most importantly, I trust that all of these plans will happen in the right time with God's guidance. My future may be uncertain now, but I am excited to see how I can turn my love for art into a successful career in psychology.
