Silhouette of student against purple background with text: Holyoke High School Unscripted Herald Podcast

Four seniors from Holyoke High School North have begun production work on a series of video podcasts for their journalism honors class that produces the Holyoke High Herald.

In this first episode, Jaydasen Otero, Avery Feliciano, Julia Guzik, and Jyzaha Perez compare and contrast their experiences with setting daily routines and the strategies they use to stay organized and on track with their studies and personal interests. While their approaches vary, they agree that playing sports is one important motivational driver. Being of service to others is also important, from serving as a teaching assistant to volunteering in the community and helping individuals one on one.

That’s just a glimpse into the insights and experiences these four students shared. Check out this 17-minute video to learn more about their experiences and hopes for the future, including careers in law enforcement and medicine.
