"It was the first day of school freshman year," said Nyla Gershoni "when in first period we had to have a lock down because there was a dangerous person in the area." This moment was Nyla Gershoni's most memorable experience at McCallum. "I remember hearing something on the announcements about a lock down but we didn't know if it was a drill or not, somehow the teachers knew it wasn't." This was no way to start off the year but little did Gershoni know that this would be the start to an eventful next four years.  Nyla Gershoni is  involved in many activities at McCallum High School. She is captain of the cheer squad as well as one of the few seniors on the swim team. Along with all of her sport activities Gershoni has an artistic side and she says "my artistic abilities have majorly improved throughout my time at McCallum." Just like any other senior, Gershoni is looking forward to the future. "McCallum has prepared me so much for the future. I know what to expect in college because of my classes and great teachers. Gershoni says "I have also learned lessons at McCallum that I will carry with me after high school and even college." Next year she plans on attending college in California, where most of her family is. "I have already been accepted to Sonoma state university and I'll be deciding where I go once I've heard back from the other schools. I'm hoping to study industrial or interior design."  Gershoni doesn't have any regrets about high school and Every year she would make it "a priority to be involved in the things that interest me. By doing the things that I enjoy I have not only had the opportunity to branch out, I have also made great friends that share my same interests. Overall Nyla Gershoni has created so many memories at McCallum that she will remember forever. "I know in the future I'll wish I could just have one more swim practice or one more high school football game. So whenever I don't feel like going to school I remember that it goes by fast and I should try to make the most of it."





1) my most memorable McCallum experience was my first day of school freshmen year when in first period we had to have a lock down because there was a dangerous person in the area.
2) I am most proud of my accomplishments in swimming and art. My artistic abilities have majorly improved throughout my time at McCallum. I have also enjoyed competing and achieving my goals in swim.
3) the thing I'll remember most about McCallum is my teachers. Over the past four years I have learned a lot from all of the amazing and unique teachers at McCallum.
4) I don't have any regrets about my high school experience. Every year I have made it a priority to be involved in the things that interest me. By doing the things that I enjoy I have not only had the opportunity to branch out, I have also made great friends that share my same interests.
5) the first time I walked into the MAC I knew I belonged at McCallum. As an 8th grader, seeing all of the incredible student art was intimidating, but it was also inspiring. After touring the art gallery and classrooms I knew it was a program that would challenge me and I couldn't wait to start school at McCallum.
6)this year the greatest challenge has been focusing on school work when I have already been accepted to collage and I'm making plans for next year. However, I know in the future I'll wish I could just have one more swim practice or one more high school football game. So whenever I don't feel like going to school I remember that it goes by fast and try to make the most of it.
7) I'm still waiting to hear back from a few colleges, but I know I'll be going to school in California next year. I have already been accepted to Sonoma state university and I'll be deciding where I go once I've heard back from the other schools. I'm hoping to study industrial or interior design.
8) McCallum has prepared me so much for the future. I know what to expect in college because of my classes and great teachers. I have also learned lessons at McCallum that I will carry with me after high school and even college.
9) I've changed a lot since freshman year. Most of all I have learned not to take myself too seriously. I realized that I am going to mess up sometimes, but that's ok because nobody's perfect.
10)if I were to do anything differently i would probably procrastinate a lot less and just do what I need to do as soon as possible.
