Sam Teare, junior, talks with Ryan Peters, junior, at philosophy club. "I would say my favorite topic to talk about is the concept of free will and whether that applies to humans," Teare said. "I like listening to all the ideas everyone has and thinking deeply about the topic."

Joe Fisch, 9th grade counselor: “I was a teacher before I was a counselor and one thing that drew me to [being a counselor] was getting to work with students in a one on one setting, getting to know the students and helping them in a little bit of a different [way] than with teaching. Don’t get me wrong, teachers have a major impact on students but sometimes you get to get into some issues or topics that are very impactful to the students.”

Cynthia Casserly, Police Officer “I’ve always wanted to be a police officer ever since I was a kid. I finally realized that I need to make my dream come true, and that’s when I got hired at Kirkwood. [I like] the diversity of Kirkwood. We have a little bit of everything from all walks of life. That’s what makes it so interesting.” TKC: What is your proudest moment or accomplishment you’ve had with your job? “My proudest moment was [when] I had a young lady involved in heroine. Her parents were having a lot of trouble and she was obviously having a lot of trouble. I talked to [the young lady] at length. Then not until about a month later I saw the mother on the street and she actually hugged me and thanked me. Her daughter had gone to treatment. She was getting a job and starting to turn her life around. That’s why I do what I do. But a lot of times, we don’t get the closure. With the calls like that, we don’t always know what happens [in the end]. We don’t [always] know if we’ve had any impact.” TKC: Do you have any advice for anyone interested in law enforcement? “[My advice] is to finish schooling and get a college degree. More doors are open that way. Have a love for it, be able to talk to people, and don’t have any criminal history at all.”

Brittané Curry, senior and co-president of K Word, attends a weekly meeting. “In middle school, I was bullied a lot and I [thought] ‘okay, I don't have anything to make myself feel better.’ Curry said. “So finally I decided to start writing poetry, and ever since then it’s just been everything in my crazy life.”

The girls’ swim and dive team members line up on the blocks at tryouts. “I’ve learned a lot from swimming,” Maddie Clark, junior, said. “I learned how to be an individual in a group because swimming is a team sport.”
