“I joined the wrestling team last year and I decided to join again this year. My brother and a couple of my friends were on the team and when I saw them having fun, I decided to join too. I saw that they were also losing weight, getting fit, and in shape and I wanted to be like that as well. For me, wrestling is an intense sport, I would describe it as physical and mental chess where every move you make can determine whether you win or not. I also like the fact that the coaches are involved, they take pride and invest in you. I really like that, I am on the heavyweight (285 lbs) category and battling one-on-one with others, especially the varsity guys, they hurt a lot. Now, my aspiration is to be on the varsity team, it’ll be a great experience for me and my junior year.”

Jessa Lopez, Staff Writer
Hello, my name is Jessa and I'm a senior. I love reading fictional books and listening to Korean Pop (K-Pop), Japanese Rock (J-Rock) and Original Pinoy Music. I like singing and playing the guitar, but I don't have any plans of pursuing music during my college days. I'm actually set on being a pediatrician or a nurse, so music would just be my hobby. I also love writing, so I'm looking forward to my first year here on The Tribe.

I am a first year journalism student, conservative writer, and Hispanic Trump supporter. I actively take interest in politics and discussing politics. My goal is to use this newspaper as a healthy alternative to express differing and unpopular views on politics. I am a senior this year and plan to major in biological sciences and minor in political science in college.
