As the 2026 school year begins, students around campus were asked what they would like the world to hear. Here is what some students had to say.
“Sometimes all you need is a good loaf of sourdough,” said Hailey Hayes.
Some express more detailed feelings.
“There is such a deficit of people that want to become creative, there’s not enough young people that really strive to grow their creativity and to expand their ability to be creative. Being creative is such a skill that nobody’s training for and nobody’s teaching anymore. You can do the drawing classes and all the things, but it’s not teaching you to be creative, It’s teaching you to draw. For example Drawing I is teaching you to draw the forms and shapes, but it’s not teaching you to be creative. There’s such a neglect of how impactful creativity is to a society and how much it’s needed to make a structurally stable society that people need to understand. It’s as vital if not more vital, to teach a kid to be creative, then it is to teach them to use that creativity because if they’re creative- if they have that skill they will express it; it’s going to happen. If you never teach them or encourage that creativity they can’t do anything with it. That’s where you hit the ‘flow state,’ where creativity and ability intersect. If you only have the ability and not the creativity or the drive to do it, you never hit that spot where you have the passion. And boycott ICE and boycott MAGA and boycott all of the institutions trying to separate people and separate ideas when, really, we’re connected,” said Asher Bloom.
Another student shared their thoughts.
“Under normal circumstances, what I want to say is everyone deserves medical care. Under these circumstances, what I must say is we are not the enemy.” said David Wade.
