Ricardo is a senior and a first-time journalist for the Wolfpack Times. An athlete who tutors, a teacher who writes, and a journalist ready to learn, he aims to do it all. A die-hard volleyball fan and self-proclaimed nerd, he’s a proud varsity volleyball and academic decathlon representative. Despite being new to journalism, Ricardo’s outspoken nature and writing skills make up for any uncertainties. He hopes to leave a lasting legacy at MACES because “…we all die. The goal isn’t to live forever; the goal is to create something that will.” – words by Chuck Palahniuk.

FROM CLASSROOM TO PROTEST - MACES students walked out of their classrooms on February 7 holding many flags representing their cultures and posters with many political messages written on them. They organized a walkout in protest of Trump's mass deportation policies that have been taking place since the beginning of his second term. They headed towards Plaza Azeala in South Gate where they met up with other nearby schools such as South Gate High School, Bell High School, Maywood High School, and South East High School.
