• How Fort Mason has made my Galileo experience special
  Throughout my years at Galileo there have been only a couple spaces that I can go to to relax and have some peace and quiet. One of the places that has stood out has been Fort Mason. It has stood out because not a lot of people go there, so it is usually quite peaceful and ...
• Lunch Time Memories
  My time at Galileo was defined by friends. I didn’t have a lot of classes with my main group of friends, and lunch time was when I would see everybody, so it would always be my favorite part of the day. Freshman year lunch was all about football. Not the kind you see on TV — ...
• The Pool and School
  Being at Galileo for the past four years has allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone, in particular, joining the swim team my sophomore year.  has changed me as a person on how I act and the people I talk to. If it wasn’t for Kenny Tang I would have never  joined the ...
• Basketball Lesson From ChatGPT
  When I think about my senior year, one word comes to mind: basketball. It wasn’t just a sport—it was the heartbeat of my final year of high school. From the afternoon practices to late-night games, from team huddles to bus rides filled with laughter, basketball was the constant that shaped everything.  I remember walking into the gym ...
• Learning the Life of Student Government
  In my last year of high school, what I could say is the most memorable was being on ASB Senior Cabinet. Before going into ASB, I had all these stereotypes about people being stuck up or overusing their power of government. Hearing these kinds of assumptions gave me a biased view of the people in ...
• Life Lessons From The Mat
  When I first joined the wrestling team, I didn’t really know what I was getting into. I was just curious and wanted to learn more about the sport. I had never wrestled before, but something about it seemed interesting. I thought it would be cool to try something new and challenge myself. Right away, I found ...
• How Galileo Fostered My Passion for Film
  Despite Galileo’s proficiency and reputation in STEM fields, I’ve found that during my time here, I’ve fostered my creativity and growth within Galileo’s arts space. While applying for high schools, applying to SOTA was something that I strongly considered. Though I wasn’t sure of what I wanted to pursue, I had done theater growing up, and ...
• What Basketball Taught Me
  Some people think that I just played basketball so I could compete against other schools and win, but there is more to it than just that. Playing basketball at Gal has helped me become a better leader and teammate, and helped me make friends for life. During my freshman year, I thought of myself as a ...
• Happiness in ASB
  Being at Galileo for the past 4 years has been such a gratifying experience. Being elected as Galileo’s Associated Student Body (ASB) as Business Vice President has allowed me to meet new people, develop skills, and, most importantly, learn to have fun in the midst of fast-paced academics.  When all students were told to come back ...
• Dancing as a Lion
  I definitely have regrets here at Galileo, particularly not joining a club earlier. However, when I did join LionDanceME (LDM) in the spring semester of my junior year, it was such a memorable experience because of the performance opportunities, despite only doing it for not even a full year.  It was during lunch time when the ...
• The Ups and Downs of Volleyball at Galileo
  Being a part of the volleyball team was an extremely important part of my experience at school, as it was the first thing that helped me feel like I really belonged to a community at Galileo. The good times were also countered with some stressful, negative ones, but fortunately they were learning experiences as well. I ...
