Tran said the wins against Smithson Valley and Alamo Heights gave the team a morale boost to take on the Raiders tonight. “I know we were not 100% confident in those games,” Tran said. “But, Rouse is a big opponent for sure. We’re definitely going into tonight with a lot of morale [because of the previous wins].”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/frances-tran.jpg)

Terry said his proudest moments are when his students are happy to see him. “When I take my wife to a football game or something and a bunch of students want to say hi to me or they like to smile and wave and it just makes me feel good that the students are really kind and supportive of me,” Terry said. “[I’m also] proud when I see students perform really well in their extracurriculars because I can see how hard they’re working in my classes, [so] when I see that they’re also working so hard in other things. Like they’re winning band competitions or they’re getting awards for their theater productions, or I see them put on their choir shows, that’s like, wow, you guys are incredible.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rags-6.png)

Cue hallelujah emojis: Aerie’s new “Real” 2014 spring campaign has quit with all their airbrushing nonsense.
We all know in our head that no one glows or shimmers when they are just lounging around in their PJ’s, but it’s harder to tell yourself that in the store surrounded by the Aerie goddesses of fashion campaigns former.
A concept Aerie seems finally aware of, at least according to the news release for the “Real” campaign.
“We want to help empower young women to be confident in themselves and their bodies,” Aerie Chief Merchandising Officer Jennifer Foyle said in an article on PR Newswire.
It gets even better. Aerie is currently showcasing girls on their website that aren’t a size zero. I know. It’s crazy. Next time you walk into Aerie you might actually see a girl that looks like you. No more dressing room self loathing.
Although it is disturbing that in our society portraying women as they actually are is shocking it is nice that society is reevaluating women in media and advertisements.
What teen brand will be next to jump on this wondrous bandwagon? Fingers crossed for Pink or Hollister. Hey maybe even Abercrombie and Fitch will hop on. *Eye roll*
