Letter to the Editor

Dear Moor Newspaper,

I hope to address the editors of the Alhambra High School newspaper, both as a fellow student and attendee of Alhambra High and an advocator of education and progress, concerning a relatively new group called the AP Ambassadors. Being an outside spectator of this group, and having studied and observed them for quite some time, I think quite highly of what these students in the Ambassadors program are working hard to achieve in our community. What this group encompasses as its driving force is to unify our student body in the spirit of our school and the spirit of learning.
Now this may be a very broad description, so perhaps it is best to look a little deeper into this group: For instance, they stand by, at the ready, to provide any aid to any students in the AP Language and Composition class. Most of them have had real experience in this class, so they are the most ideal people to turn to for any student needing help in it. This is a very praiseworthy goal, for students to take out of their own time to work for the sake of others, especially for a higher-level class like AP Lang.
In this sense, the AP Ambassadors are trying to become something of role models for other students. The Ambassadors are still students, like most everyone else here in Alhambra High, going through the same classes, the same lunch breaks, the same fire drills as everyone else. This makes the Ambassadors the ideal aid for students who want to seek help because they find themselves coming to their peers, people sailing the same boat as themselves. Not only does this probably sound a lot more comfortable than having to come up to that grumpy teacher who wants to be left alone to their turkey sandwich at lunch for help, but it subsequently promotes student communion by bringing students together to enrich one another’s learning, be it by helping to write an essay or compose an oration.
The Ambassadors want to represent the face of Alhambra High School, of the mighty Moor, in dedicating their own time and effort to immense other students into the learning experience of high school. And what better way to do that than to get the school spirit built up in the student body through student community? We all only have four years to enjoy our time here in Alhambra High School, so why not make it count? The AP Ambassadors share themselves with the student body in the hopes of bringing it together through cooperation and diversity among students.
In closing, I believe the AP Ambassador program has a very noteworthy goal set for themselves, and it would be a great shame if they were to simply vanish off the face of our campus after only a few years or so. I give them great praise and highly commend them for their goals and their efforts, both as a fellow student and an advocator for education. I thank you for your time in reading this, with the hopes that the Ambassadors can one day become thriving role models for the student body to strive for in their high school experience.

Sincerely,
Adam Vargas
