Siagatonu was invited by Jacob Chacko, the Asian Pa- cific American Resource Center coordinator. Not settling for simply recit- ing poetry, Siagatonu expressed her deepest and most intimate thoughts in a loud and unwavering voice, weaving storytelling and raw emotions into poetry detailing the chaos of the world. Breathing life into taboo topics, she spoke of racism and identity, gun violence and climate change, experiences from college and memories of past lovers. “She brought up a lot of real is- sues and very heavy topics,” Acev- edo said. “She brings this rawness and honesty that’s really needed right now.” The captivated audience snapped their fingers and voiced their ap- proval as Siagatonu validated their own experiences.

Having earned degrees in com- munity studies, education and marriage and family therapy, Siag- atonu incorporates her education with her art, which she finds ther- apeutic and liberating for herself and others. Lucia De La Torre, administra- tive coordinator for the Diversi- ty Initiative Resource Center, said Siagatonu’s work is inspiring and expressive. “Art is a very healing thing,” De La Torre said. “It really puts lan- guage into something that may- be we can’t always express with words or other more standard ex- pressions of communication.” ESMERALDA FIGUEROA / DAILY TITAN Terisa Siagatonu draws inspiration for her poems from her experiences as a first-generation, queer, Pacific Islander, Samoan woman of color.

ALEX BOSSERMAN/ DAILY TITAN Schools favor extroverted students
Group work denies introverts their natural state of being.
ANGELINA DEQUNA Asst. Opinion Editor
Introversion isn’t a sickness, but the age-old favoritism of extro- verted attitudes within schools and workplaces makes it feel like it is. Forcing participation in a class- room setting makes introverts feel as though their natural state of mind is trivial to a learning envi- ronment. This affects their social life, confidence in the workplace and most importantly, their learn- ing ability. Schools and universities have an obligation to ensure that their stu- dents are confident when they go into the adult world. If they are told throughout all of their life that the ideal person is extroverted, they ANGELINA DEQUINA/ DAILY TITAN are less likely to blossom into suc- Identifying as an introvert and are tailored for introverts such as understand that it takes time to re- workplace. cessful adults. consequently forcing students to computer science, engineering and flect and analyze a situation rather Apart from workplace skills, According to Valerie Strauss in come out of their “shell” can be design. than continuously interacting with confident introverts also maintain The Washington Post, being quiet harmful.

It’s imperative that sports leagues protect their athletes to avoid health issues in their future.

While people are cheering for their team, animatedly jumping up and down or run- ning across the room, I’m just left dumb- founded — to put it simply, sports have never been my thing. Often, what I focus on isn’t the victory. I’m not looking at the game-winning touch- down or watching a runner sprint the last 100 meters. Instead, I notice the pain or overexertion on athletes’ faces as they push themselves to the point where their bodies can’t handle it anymore. Moments like these are the most alarm- ing, and often times I’d rather not watch a game because the idea of seeing someone potentially endure a career-ending injury just isn’t what I consider entertainment. Across the board, sports should adhere to safety protocol and better scheduling that will lessen athletes’ injuries.

UCLA struck first in the fourth inning on a Jake Pries two-run home run over the left-center field wall for a 2-0 lead. It was the second homer on the season for Pries, and in his next plate appearance in the fifth, he drew a bases-loaded walk to give him his third RBI on the night. The Bruins added two more in the sixth inning by right fielder Garett Mitchell’s two- run home run to make it a 5-0 game. Initially, Mitchell’s ho- mer was ruled an RBI triple, but following the play, the umpires gathered and declared it a ho- mer as cleared the fence line. The Titan offense showed signs of life in the sixth inning, scoring two runs on two hits in the inning.
