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)

“The Flash” is back and better than ever
December 4, 2015
The award winning show, “The Flash,” is back and better than ever in their second season on the CW. DC Comics has released their third show that continues to be a success. Grant Gustin plays the role of The Flash strikingly well with the help of thousands of special effects aiding in the process of making him the “Scarlet Speedster.” We have also seen iconic, fan favorite characters this season, such as Jay Garrick who is portrayed by Teddy Sears, as well as the return of Dr. Harrison Wells who is played by Tom Cavanagh.
The show is all about a young forensic scientist who gets struck by lightning after a particle accelerator explodes while working in his lab. After the fact, he finds out that he has the power of super speed. With the help of his friends at S.T.A.R Labs, he is able to harness these abilities help people and stop crime. However, after he beats his rival in season 1, the Reverse Flash, he accidentally opens a portal to the “Earth Two,” unleashing the power of his new rival, Zoom.
This show has shown us some amazing plot twists and cliffhangers, always shutting us off from the peak of action, leaving us hungry for more. However, some of the negative points that I have noticed is that sometimes the buildup can be a little too prolonged and boring, but these are heavily outweighed when it comes to the ending, and especially the crossovers with “The Arrow,” another award winning show put on by DC.
Episodes air every Tuesday, and are an hour long. The show is rated PG and would most likely appeal to children from the age of 10 to adults to the age of 50. My rating of this show would be a 4.5 out of 5 stars because all the aspects put together form a fantastic show for everyone to enjoy.

Balakrishnan applied to 18 colleges in total, but she decided on Columbia in the end. “Right before I clicked the button to open Columbia’s letter, I literally looked at the camera and go ‘This is just gonna really suck because I wanted it so bad,’ and I clicked it and all of a sudden you hear trumpets,” Balakrishnan said. “There’s a video that plays when you open it and I actually didn’t watch the video, I just watched the screen go black, because every day of December before ED [Early Decision] I would go on YouTube and watch the acceptance video to manifest it, so immediately when the screen went black, I started screaming and jumping up and down. And my parents in the video are like ‘What are you doing, where’s the letter,’ and I was just screaming ‘I got in, I got in.” I just started crying, and it just felt like everything in the world came together.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/ariana-2-300x217.jpg)
