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 turned two in early January. EDHS grad from the famous class of '93. Proud to coach the ROCK STAR EDHS 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!!!

Jason Akasaki: I'm a Senior, looking forward to the end of the semester. I have an older brother who's I usually disagree with.

My favorite movies are The Shawshank Redemption and The Usual SUspects.

I want to go to UCI or UCSD and major in psychology or biology and then move on to get a master's later. My biggest goal is to make a difference in the world or at least in people's lives. Helping people is my passion. I took this class because I dislike ignorance, and never want to feel misinformed about things going on in the world. Sometimes, especially nowadays, the news is too depressing. So i keep myself informed but don't get into the disturbing details of what's going on in the world. and I love reading Time magazine :)

My favorite class is government and politics :) I love hot weather, coaching special olympics, and eating chocolate. I drink enough green tea weekly to take a bath in. My favorite movies are V for Vendetta, the Patriot, and duh! Sandlot! But I never watch TV. I strongly dislike eggs, ignorance, and the Woodbridge Warriors. MT=LIFE. I play the drums and enjoy public speaking. When I was little, I was Esmerelda for Disney Catalogue but modeling is no longer a forte considering I'll never reach 5'3". My room is ALWAYS a mess, but I refuse to let the day go by without brushing my teeth atleast 4 times. I love to have fun and I can't remember the last time I've been either upset or embarrassed. YAY CONTEMPORARY WORLD AFFAIRS!
i live my life for christ and love adventures. if i could, i would be barefoot for the rest of my life. i like cool breezes of fresh air, imagination, art and being outdoors.

I'm Brian Hoang. I'm Chinese and I'm a senior at EDHS. I have a little sister that I like to mess with... and get her mad in the process. :D I like hanging out with family and friends. I LOVE to sleep, although I basically get none during the weekdays. To make up for that, I sleep in pretty much for 12 hours each day during the weekends and holidays. I have no idea on what to do with my life. So, don't ask me what I want to major in. :D I LOVE FOOD!!! I eat a lot and it's strange that I'm not fat. :D I probably smile too much, but what makes me not so happy is people being intentionally ignorant of the world and refusing to understand people who are not like them. That's why I took this class: to understand more about the events that occur around me!!!
I'm Lindsey Breeding, senior, 17 and i live in Yorba Linda. I have an older sister who is 21 and attends Vanguard University. I will be attending Nursing school in the fall. I love hanging out with my friends, shopping for people, frozen yogurt, the color yellow, and a walk to remember. I love Africa with a passion i put on events each year to raise money for Invisible Children. I played softball and basketball for EDHS for 2 years and I have been on ASB for 3 years. I could live on plain frozen yogurt with gummy bears. haha well that is a little about me.
Peter Cho 17, Senior, SOUTH korean, on the tennis team. I am interested in psychology, sociology, philosophy, and music. I would very much like to make psychology my career but have no interest in getting a PhD. I'd also like to make music my career (guitar/songwriter) but I can't sing so.....major: undeclared.
I like: organization, food, interesting facts (ex. left handed people are more likely to die), music, and passioniate people. I dislike: math, trash, and rap, (though some argue that both are the same). Favorite shows: House, Bones, and Malcolm in the Middle. Favorite foods: Macadamian nuts and lobster.
Favorite Songs: Life Is Wonderful/Mraz , More Than Useless/Relient K, The Answer/Shane&Shane, Nocturne in C#m/Chopin, and No.1 in G Major Prelude/Bach.
