I will also be using my 17 minutes outside of the classroom to think about the 17 people whose lives were senselessly taken from them the month before. It was senseless not only on the part of the shooter, but also on the part of our lawmakers. Congress has failed us. The U.S. has way more gun deaths than any other developed nation, and it has far more guns than any other country in the world, according to the United Nations. Americans make up less than 5 percent of the world’s population but own more than 30 percent of all the world’s privately held firearms. Are we so attached to the Second Amendment that we are willing to sacrifice children’s lives? Is there no room for common sense gun laws? I think there is, and I think that it’s time for change. It will be my honor to be a part of that change. I am inspired by the Parkland student survivors who are speaking out and leading this movement. They lost their classmates and friends.

hen Jordan Darrow got her chance five minutes into the second overtime period, she made sure she didn’t miss it. Her left-footed shot from 15 yards out found the right corner of Wthe net and the Palisades High girls soccer team held on to beat South East 5-4 on Tuesday to advance to the City Section Division I finals for the first time in four seasons under Coach Christian Chambers. “Meghan [Jones] passed it and I was just thinking I need to run off their players and get this done,” said Darrow, who had scored off a feed from Sadie Holt to give the Dolphins a 3-2 lead in the 53rd minute. “I’m so excited to be going to the finals. We want to win for all the seniors.” Frankie Van Norden, whose shot from 30 yards out tied the game 2-2 in the 51st minute, was issued her second yellow card early in the first overtime and sent off, forcing the Dolphins to go the remainder of the game with 10 players. Moments later, Georgia Calvert scored off a cross from Darrow to tie it 4-4.

Hav- ing beaten another West Valley League opponent, Granada Hills, in the prior round with eight of its best players out of the lineup, the ninth-seeded Dolphins were confident they would knock off the No. 1 seed in the 16-team bracket and continue their quest to regain the championship they captured for the first time in 2016. The Conquistadores, though, had other ideas, dashing Palisades’ upset hopes with three first-half goals on the way to a 3-1 victory.
