Webb Canyon Chronicle

Eleanor Hong

Eleanor Hong, Chief Copy Editor

Pencils, pens, poetry, playwright, but most importantly, passion; Eleanor Hong (‘24) refuses to let her senior year cede to boredom. Whether it is ink on paper or fingers on a keyboard, her writing captures the attention and hearts of readers all around her community. From her friends and family to random strangers, she entertains and informs through any medium of written art. She recently finished writing a ninety-seven-page play over the summer, which she hopes to get produced in the future. Her passion is unrestricted by discrimination faced by the people in her community; she writes because she is proud. Lately, Eleanor has become very driven about issues of internalized misogyny and being Asian in America, much of her work tackling these important issues and inspiring those around her. She is a writer of truth. An activist. A poet. A playwright. And luckily for Webb Canyon Chronicle, she is a heck of a journalist.

Garrett Hayakawa ('26) edits an audio-based project for his Spanish class in the main hallway of the Old School House. A core part of any language curriculum is developing auditory fluency in the language — as reflected in the AP language curriculum, which includes a 55-minute audio comprehension section accounting for over a quarter of the test score. "Set time out the day to dedicate yourself to it," said Garrett, who has been learning Spanish for eight years. "It's also good if you meet other people that speak that language fluently, so you can constantly speak to them. You'll get more adapted to [speaking the language] as you go, rather than just seeing it online or watching videos about it."
