Considering the legacy left behind after graduation
Letting go of past pains proves essential to future growthAs I sit here, str uggling to find
words that adequately describe
my experience at Hoban over the
past four years, I can’t help but become
overwhelmed with a deluge of confl icting
emotions brought about by the act of
reflecting upon my time spent in high
school, an act which, like most things
in life, is both painful and rewarding.
The pain comes from my recollection of
all the bad times I have experienced. Whether
it’s fi ghting with friends or family, getting in
trouble with the administration or any of the
other situations which would be too diffi cult
to describe via a column in the Visor, there
have been many occasions where I have
found myself angry, regretful, depressed,
confused or any combinations of the lot.
I’m not saying I have had a rough
life or that I should be pitied, but I am
rather acknowledging the fact that I have
made many mistakes in recent years
and, regardless of whether they involved
something I did or something I didn’t do,
they have all had an impact on me which still
evokes an emotional response to this day.
One thing which I believe I need to fully
recognize before I go out and enter the real
world, whatever that means, is that I am a
human, and that humans make mistakes.
While this recognition is not an excuse
to continually make the same mistakes
over and over, that would be more in the
realms of stupidity than of enlightened
action, it does provide a reason to prevent
past events which I no longer have control
over from continually infl icting pain. Rafi ki
said it best, the past can hurt, but you
can either run from it, or learn from it.
With that out of the way, it is time to talk
about the rewarding part of these refl ections
which involves the fond memories of
all the amazing people I have met, all
the fantastical things I have done and
all the awe inspiring places I have been.
Honestly, I cannot put into words how
much the opportunities I have been given
have allowed me to exit my comfort zone and
strengthen not only the relationship I have
with my immediate community as well as the
global community, but also the relationship
I have with myself. Looking back at how
much has changed for the better fi lls me
with a sense of joy and accomplishment
that far outweighs any sadness caused by
the reasons previously mentioned. My
time spent here will forever hold a place
in my heart as one of the most important
times in the formation of who I am today,
and of who I will be in years to come.
I think I might have had a better idea of
what to write for this sort of thing four
years ago, before I started at Archbishop
Hoban High School and before graduation
was lurking right around the corner. Maybe
it is just because I probably would have
procrastinated a lot less about it, or maybe
it is because I would have been able to
write sentence after cheesy, melodramatic
sentence about events that I would be likely
to hold dear, people I would soon meet
and fi nd myself happily unable to forget
and life lessons I would be bound to learn.
Now, sitting here trying to write this, it
is much harder than any of that. It’s trying
to put together something that transcends
each one of those cookie cutter sort of ideas
and making it into something someone
out there besides my mom might want to
read. It has become trying to fi gure out
what these four years have meant to me,
what they’ve made me think and what
I’ve done with them as opposed to a list of
accomplishments and stereotypical nostalgia.
That brings me to talk about Wednesday,
or for myself and maybe a few others out
there, blue and orange Wednesday. For two
years now, I have worn blue and orange
each and every wednesday of every week,
an ideal born out of depths of an AP History
course. It is the one dress coded day that
actually lasted through the long monotonous
days of high school unlike so many others
before it. Argyle Thursday was a hit for
awhile, I still wear the socks some weeks,
but for the most part it died out and despite
the fact that the Hack-E-Sac Team will be
competing in the National Tournament
next week the teams desire to dress up day
after day was shut down by the polo police.
It is through the little things in high
school that a person can defi ne themselves.
Whether it be a personal color scheme you
wear, or that special parking spot that’s been
yours for four straight years, maybe you
know the secret of which drinking fountain
spawns water from the fountain of youth.
All that matters is that there is something
that exists to make high school more than
just an education, but something personal,
something to look forward to each day and
the next. For me, that was blue and orange
Wednesday, and each and every one of
you that sported the colors here and there
made all the difference for my high school
experience, and I thank you for making
me smile, even if it occurred by chance.
So as a par ting gift, I only ask one
thing. Next Wednesday, when I’m happily
bound by my second favorite dress of
shir t and tie, wear blue and orange.
And if that is too much to ask for, than
simply do something that means a thing
or two to you. Because after four years
of school have gone by you’ll look back,
and it will have made all the difference.

Outward focus results in a sense of accomplishment
Senior advises students to branch out of friend circleAs the fi nal days of high school begin
to slip away faster, and the reality of
graduation steadily creeps closer for
us seniors, it is about this time that everyone
tends to get sentimental and, let’s be honest,
a little sappy. And I could not help but
notice that the more emotional and panicked
everyone becomes, and the more rapidly the
school year starts to wrap up, the more clichés
begin to pop up in the hallways. I, however, am
no exception to this phenomenon. After all,
clichés are clichés for a reason: they convey
truth. So as I present to you a piece of cliché
senior advice, I only ask that you understand
that I am only telling you this because I have
found it in this last year to be absolutely true.
As I am sure you all known, senior year
holds some really exciting and memorable
experiences. From Mum Day to the prom,
we are always busy participating in all of
these special senior moments. However,
as I look back on my fi nal year at Hoban,
the one thing that really stands out to me
is not so much the events, but the people.
When I started my senior year, I was
really excited to spend time with my friends
and go to all of the senior events together.
However, what I did not expect was to make
so many new friends along the way. Becoming
friends with someone that you have known
for four years probably seems like a strange
concept, but knowing someone’s name or
just knowing that they exist is very different
from actually getting to know who a person
is. There were plenty of people prior to
this year who I knew, but for some reason
or another, whether our paths had never
really crossed, or we just never decided to
strike up a conversation, we were not friends.
Yet somehow this year, maybe because
we were just thrown together by chance or
because people tend to grow into themselves
and become more open senior year, a couple
of those people and myself took that special
step, probably without even conscientiously
realizing it at the time, towards becoming
actual friends. There have been so many
amazing people that I have met this year that
I sincerely regret not taking the time to get
to know sooner. It is honestly my only real
regret about my high school experience.
Which is why I am telling you this now,
so that you do not wait until the last second
like I did. This school is full of some incredible
people, who I will be really sad to leave behind.
But since you will still be here, get out there
and meet some new people, people who
you may think that you already know. After
all, you could be missing the opportunity
to make some really great friends.
For Anna Baumhoer and myself,
Tuesdays have become a sor t of
D-day. Throughout the course of this
year, they have been defi ned by late nights
in the Visor room, junk food dinners and
hectically trying to pull the paper together
on time. As I walked through the deserted
Hoban parking lot at 9pm on this very last
Tuesday, to the only car left waiting for its
counterpart, with a stack of senior surveys
to be typed up in my hands, I came to realize
that these Tuesdays represent my greatest
success at Hoban: the attainment, I am hopeful
in my claim, of the status servant leader.
I do not point this out in order to draw
attention to myself. I have already received
my reward in getting to see the staff’s hard
work paid off in the fi nal copies of the Visor
that arrive each month. However, I must call
to mind the concept of servant leader in order
to best portray the lesson that I have learned
most thoroughly during my time at Hoban.
The lesson is this: the smallest moment lived
focused on another is far more satisfying
than any length of time focused on self.
This cannot be a superfi cial goal. When
motivation to seem helpful or complementary
comes from a need to “look good,” the focus
remains on self. It is when the wellbeing of
another truly transcends the inherent need for
self-preservation and attention that one lives
in the service of others. Some of my absolute
favorite moments at Hoban stem from either
being a spectator of a selfl ess act, or being
lucky enough to have had the Holy Spirit work
through me in order to perform a selfl ess act.
By focusing on others, I have met many
amazing people with incredible stories, many
of whom I would never have met if I had been
preoccupied with my own selfi sh motives. I
have been continually surprised at how easy it
is to live one’s life focused more on others than
on oneself. It is as simple as greeting everyone
you meet in the hallway or classroom, asking
someone how they are doing, actually
listening to the answer and being aware
of the little things happening around you.
As my senior year draws to a close, I hope
that I am able to hold on to this mindset and
hope others will share it with me. Especially
since, in the end, I have come to realize that
as soon as one dedicates their life to others,
when the focus on self is eradicated, it is the
self that benefi ts most. Each year that I have
attended Hoban has been progressively more
enjoyable to me as I have put this lesson into
action. With the culmination of my senior year,
I am the happiest I have ever been. I can only
attribute this happiness to every single person
I have been lucky enough to meet at Hoban.

Personal relationships lost in attachment to social media
Class of 2013 becomes memorable class in fi nal yearEver since Shaquella created the
2013- 20- 20- 13 anthem at rent-a-
junior last year, the class of 2013 has
surpassed all expectations. Not only did
we continue Hoban’s traditions in a new
and unique fashion, we also distinguished
ourselves by using our many talents to
leave what I hope will be a lasting legacy.
We are a diverse graduating class; I am
not talking about an old wooden ship. From
Anthony Osmun cheering on Phil Brett at
a Friday night football game, to Stephen
English owning the talent show stage with
his dozen performances, to Rachel Rodgers
creating a masterpiece in the art room or Alan
Jankowski never failing to deliver humorous
announcements with the best weather guy in
the tri-state area, the class of 2013 has spread its
infl uence in all areas of the Hoban community.
Our class had a plethora of great ideas and
was able to turn many of them into realities
which has made all the difference. Mario
Micale’s harlem shake, lip dub (R.I.P.), and
the new H video helped unite the school
to an even higher level. I believe we have
shown the Akron community what Hoban
is all about. From the people, to athletics,
to the education, Hoban has grown to
be something that youngsters all around
Northeast Ohio want to be apart of and
the class of 2013 has helped promote this
new image with its spirit, and enthusiasm.
I have been blessed to have great
classmates and a supportive group of friends
who have stood by me through good times and
bad. From late night golfi ng at Chenoweth or
swimming at the Spears’ no two adventures
have been the same. Although our high school
years may be coming to a close, I know going
my own way will make me mature and my
relationships with my friends will continue
to grow despite the distance between us. I
strongly respect my friends, my classmates
and everyone at Hoban who has made this
year, and my four years here the best of my life.
Even though it might sound cliche, my
senior year has been one of the best years of
my life and the most memorable during my
time at Hoban. I’m going to miss the Hoban
community, but plan on continuing in the
Holy Cross tradition for four more years as
I embark on my new journey. With the new
standards that have been brought to the table,
I cannot wait to call myself a Hoban alum, and
to see the legacy continued in the future.
Wait, before you read this, make sure
you check your texts.” “Looks like
you’ve just been Snapchatted.”
“Oh and there’s a hilarious video on Vine,
check it out.”
“You’ll have to tweet about that one.”
“But fi rst, take an Instagram picture, your
hair looks great.”
“Another like on Facebook!? That’s
double digits!”
Sorry to distract you.
It is an epidemic that has infi ltrated into
our world one Social Media network at a
time, and has increased its malice with every
new App downloaded onto a smart phone.
The technology craze that has consumed
the world has people obsessed with their
beloved devices and constantly occupied with
improving their virtual selves. The devices
have become more than mere mechanisms
for communication and enter tainment;
they have transformed into a way of life.
It is nearly impossible to walk into a room
and not see someone fi ddling with an iPhone or
other smart phone. Not having a smart phone
myself, I almost feel isolated from some sort of
special club that everyone seems to be a part
of. It has become a cult. With group messaging,
Snapchatting, and countless other iPhone
quirks, members of this virtual world are
incessantly referencing something funny that
I am totally unaware of due to my possession of
a simple Pantech touch screen phone. At times
it can be frustrating; however I stand strong in
my decision to not purchase a smart phone.
My fi rst reason for this was that I refused
to be one of those people who are constantly
on his or her phone in public when they could
be using this opportunity to genuinely interact
with people face to face. Simply possessing
one of these devices presents a temptation,
especially for teenagers, to take out their
phone and ignore everything around them.
Secondly, the attachment to social media
that these phones provide easy access for
is causing people to mask their real selves.
People are now more concerned with how
they present themselves on social media than
how they present themselves in real life. It’s
become a competition: who has the funniest
tweets, who has the most likes on Instagram,
who looks the best in their profi le picture?
All of high school we have been taught not
to place labels on other people. However, the
last thing we do is fi ll out Senior Superlatives
where we distinctly label people according to
what we believe them to be. Although this is a
fun end of the year activity, many of us voted
for someone who we just heard is the “Most
Shy” or “Worst Driver” even if we lacked the
evidence to validate this ourselves. Social
media encourages the same idea. It lures us to
judge others based solely on their Facebook or
Twitter page and not for who they really are.
We only have one life. Why are we spending
it behind a computer screen or constantly on
our phones? God created us to crave human
interaction, and the truest way we can satisfy
this desire is by forming relationships face to
face. I present a challenge to the entire faculty,
staff, and students of Hoban, but mostly to
myself and my fellow classmates of 2013: get
out and live life the way God wants you to, make
each day your masterpiece without your phone
as the paintbrush, and yes, be true to you.
