Climate change will not affect us in the far future—it’s happening right now. In this interview with Kirsten Mahovlich, who was once CMSD’s high school science program manager, I will ask, explain, and answer some of the main questions and issues regarding climate change and how it's affecting our everyday lives. Climate change is real and it’s not just affecting our future it is affecting our way of life now. The world is getting hotter, and people are to blame. Mahovlich said that this is a huge problem that’s already changing our weather, ecosystems, and communities.

“You shouldn’t cry because you’re a man!” Emotions are something that have been with humans for as long as they have existed. They are the defining part of someone’s personality and help shape people into who they are. Though emotions are - and will always be - a part of human identity, the topic of emotions is controversial.

With U.S. President Donald Trump ramping up enforcement of immigration laws, what is the Cleveland Metropolitan School District's plan to handle interactions with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials. CMSD CEO Warren Morgan issued a statement in February acknowledging parents' concerns about potential ICE visits to schools. The Trump administration in January changed federal policies, allowing ICE agents to make arrests at schools, churches and universities.

As a regular user of TikTok, I typically spend around 18 hours per week on the platform. It has served as a space for freedom of expression, in line with the principles outlined in the First Amendment. The app has enabled 1.9 billion users, including 172 million Americans including myself, to create and share dance videos and other content, promoting connections across diverse global communities. I believe it is important for TikTok to continue its operations in the U.S. due to the numerous economic benefits it provides.
