MrsCavalluzzi · Guru

Sunshine Cavalluzzi: Mama of the two most fabulous (and fabulously good-looking!!) children on the planet: Lucy, who will be four in March, and JD, who will be two in January. EDHS grad from the famous class of '93. Proud to coach the ORANGE COUNTY CHAMPION Mock Trial team. UCSD grad (Go Fightin' Tritons!), spent a semester in London (the best thing I did in college - you ALL should study abroad!!). I really really believe in Gandhi's idea that "You must be the change you wish to see in the world" and Margaret Mead's reminder to "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has," and I LOVE: my family, EDHS, Mock Trial, yummy food, traveling, swimming, THE BEACH, good quotes, good books...especially Harry Potter and To Kill A Mockingbird (Lucy's middle name is Harper after Harper Lee), funny and fabulous TV (The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Jeopardy!, The Office....), and active, energetic, and ongoing discussions about INTERESTING THINGS like CONTEMPORARY WORLD AFFAIRS!! :) I am wildly excited about this class and am VERY MUCH looking forward to this semester and your FANTASTIC contributions!!!

MEGAN RIZZO:

Just turned 17 on august 15th.
My favorite place to be has got to be Disneyland.
I'm a HUGE Dr. Pepper/chocolate fan.
I have a 9 week old chocolate lab puppy named Charlie and I love him SO much!!
I'm a BIG animal lover.
My favorite thing to do this summer was going to the beach all the time and having bonfires (except I hated how terrible I would smell from the fire afterwards).
I've been playing piano since I was two years old and I have started teaching little kids how to play, so music is an important part of my life.
I love my family, even though they are incredibly embarrassing.
I love any movie Shia Labeouf is in, especially Disturbia.
Oh, and I went to private school my whole life up until high school.
That's all I can think of right now!

i take great interest in history, especially that which surrounds the Civil War and WWII

natamakove · Veteran Member

Natalia Makoveeva, 16 years old, and will be for another half of the year. Probably one of the youngest seniors ever =)

I don't have any siblings, sometimes I think it is bad, sometimes I thank God for that I don't have any. My family is my mom - and her "marito", but we don't really communicate with him, so I don't know what he really is in person.
I am from Russia, and I have lived there all my life except for the last two years I've been here. I miss my relatives.
I don't watch TV, so there isn't much I could tell about TV shows...but
I like to read, especially specific literature. I love learning foreign languages and communicating with people around the world, thanks to the internet.
Most of my free (and other time when I'm supposed to do something else) I sit in front of the computer writing in blogs and chatting with online friends.
I'm interesting in many different fields, so probably it wouldn't be the best thing to write all my interests here.
I like to write a lot, and if I won't stop now it would be about two microsoft word pages here without anything specific written...
I think I made the right choice taking this class and my interests in politics and what is related to it will be fulfilled.

Beccawicks · Senior Member

I'm Becca Wicks. I'm 17 and will be 18 in February. I live with my parents, grandpa, and two sisters. Theatre is what I do. I've been in plays, commercials, musicals etc since I was two. AP US History made me incredibly interested in government and politics and I plan on going to UC Berkley to major in journalism and minor in political science. Sometimes I let my life get incredibly full of activities and stressed out. I take several AP classes, have a job, and spend a majority of my time in the theatre. I listen to classic rock and showtunes, basically a very strange mix of music. Because I know it will come up in conversation at some point, I have had rheumatoid arthritis since 7th grade. Its definitely one of the more interesting facts about me. Basically, I'm very opinionated and love politics. I also can't wait to graduate.

My favorite author is Jane Austen and I love the VIctorian Era. I have a slight Batman obsession. I also really, really want to go to England. That's all I can think of for the moment. Good day.

drewtekulve · Senior Member

The Name is Andrew Alexander Tekulve. I was born in the good year of our Lord, 1991, to a loving family of four siblings, me being the youngest. I will be seventeen years young on November 18th.

One could argue that I am just an ordinary boy, but I must admit i am FAR from ordinary. I enjoy listening to different types of music and i also enjoy writing tunes and such. Although i am not too learned with musical composition, i still enjoy writing.

I also am a fan of film-making and cinematography, as i participate in Hawk Talk and EDHS Media Productions. I plan on majoring on film making after I graduate high school.

My favorite movie happens to be The Warriors, and I am not sure why. It's just something about that movie. My favorite book would definitely be Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. My favorite genre of music would be Indie or Indie Rock, but eighties New Wave and eighties Dance music hold a very special place in my heart.

And that's all she wrote....

David Velasco is what they call me,
and they have been doing so for 17 years now.

My favorite movie is Into the wild. I can relate to the main character
When I grow a little older I plan on moving somewhere fairly isolated in nature.

that's about it.
