    Beyond the classroom; students show work ethic


    Hector Hernandez

    Mariza Villalpando, Senior

    Football, soccer, advanced choir, National Honor Society, powerlifting, and


    being a part-time worker at Mazzios is
    how Hector Hernandez, sr., has spent his
    high school life.
    Hernandez has been working at
    Mazzios for the past three years. He began to work his freshman year because he
    no longer wanted to be a burden to his parents.
    I love my family, but I hated spending their hard earned money, said Hernandez.
    His job consist of making pizzas, taking orders, keeping track of employees
    and even delivering pizzas.
    Every week he works over 30 hours.
    Hernandez has managed to reach assistant
    manager in only two and a half years after
    he began working.
    Hernandez has been in football,
    choir, and soccer for four years and has
    excelled in all of them. He is a section
    leader in advanced choir and team captain
    in football and soccer. He joined National
    Honors Society this past year to gain new
    experiences.
    His activities hadnt always been easy

    to manage, though.
    When Hernandez first recieved his job
    he was able to keep everything together,
    but it was during his sophomore year that
    he began to struggle. Band used to be one
    of Hernandezs favorite activities, but he
    was forced to quit because all his activities had gotten too stressful for him.
    It was a hard time. I had so many responsibilities. I felt like I was being consumed by my own life, but I learned a
    valuable lesson, said Hernandez.
    Hernandez will keep his busy schedule
    to help prepare him for his future.

    ...I felt like I was being


    consumed by my own life...

    WEATHER

    she was 15, her sophomore year. She quit


    for a little while so she could be at home
    with her daughter, but then came back in
    July of 2015.
    Seeing customers happy with the service they get from me brightens my mood
    if I am having a bad day said White.
    White got the job to support her daugh-

    Martinez is on the soccer team as well


    as the wrestling team which inhibits him
    to train for a sport continuously all school
    year.
    Martinez practices typically until 5:40
    p.m. everyday, but it ultimately depends
    on the activity he is involved in at the
    time.
    Martinez started his first job at
    Mazzios in August of 2013.
    In the beginning, he worked making
    the dough and cooking pizzas. However, he received a promotion in August
    of 2014 which labeled him a Supervisor.
    His job now involves him answering the
    phone and writing down orders.
    The part time student-athlete enters
    work at 6 p.m. and closes the restaurant
    at 11 p.m. He works 25-30 hours a week
    during soccer and wrestling season.
    During the summer, he adds an extra
    10 hours to his work schedule.
    Also during the summer, Martinez
    plays on a traveling soccer team, Los Tiburones (The Sharks).
    Participating in all of these events has
    taught Martinez many life lessons.
    It may seem like a lot to others, but I
    wouldnt be myself without my sports or
    my job, said Martinez.

    Whether being in charge of hundreds of children in the water,


    arranging the latest fashions or serving meals to customers, a
    majority of students have jobs that keep them occupied after their
    school day is complete. These jobs force students to organize their
    time, maintain their preformance in school, and enjoy the little free
    time they have to spend with their friends.Here Hector Hernandez,
    Luis Martinez and Kc White work at Mazzios preparing food for
    customers.
