Co-Vice President of Tutorial club Michelle Fong (12) notes how she recharges during this stressful time: “Whether [it be] self-care stuff like just making yourself something nice to drink [or] doing a face mask, I find that that really helps me relax for a bit and find my motivation again to just power through with that last assignment or whatever I have to get done.”](https://whssignals.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Stress-Free-Finals-900x900.jpg)

![As a month of AP testing continues, students prepare for online exams by taking practice tests. Riyana Roy (10) notes how she plans to study for her AP World History exam: “Since world history is about remembering facts, I’m [going to] use active recall where I ask myself questions about important topics to see if I can remember them. I’ll probably create notes for every unit too, and sort them into various world history themes which would be useful on the DBQ (Document Based Question) portion.”](https://whssignals.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/AP-Testing-900x900.png)


![On April 12th-14th, tryouts for West High’s Speech and Debate team were held. Team captain Jana Abulaban (11) expresses what she got out of being a part of the team: “Once I joined, I understood the broader concept of Speech and Debate and really understood what I wanted to gain [from] it: that feeling of being part of a really supportive team...I have learned to publicly speak more and be more confident with it.”](https://whssignals.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/4_13–4_20-Article-Apr-19-2021-at-10_59-PM-900x900.jpg)

![Crypto mogul Samuel Bankman-Fried is escorted from a courthouse by Bahamian authorities after his arrest in Nassau, Bahamas. Following his extradition to the United States, Bankman-Fried was bailed out by his parents for $250 million, one of the largest bails in history. Commenting on this move, West High student Benjamin Choi (12) remarked that “I think [Bankman-Fried] should be held more accountable for [his crimes],” agreeing that nominal bail for the ultra-wealthy encourages apathy and equates to a slap on the wrist.
