NFL Protest: Appropriate or Disrespectful?

By: Vivian Nguyen

In 2016, San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick protested police brutality and racial equality by
kneeling during the national anthem, starting a movement that athletes would continue throughout
2017. The protest caused mixed reactions; some people support the movement while others believe
it’s unpatriotic and disrespectful to those who’ve served. But is it really disrespectful?

Fall Tunes: Marraccino gives music suggestions

By: Giovanni Marraccino and Dheeraj Nistala

Well, it’s fall, and we all know that there's nothing better than jamming to some fall tunes, so we’re gonna lay down some funky jams.

1. "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day. Nothing's like a little rock and roll to kick off your autumn season (even though its past September).

2. "Autumn in New York" by Frank Sinatra. While Frank Sinatra may be an oldie, it never fails to give a feeling of peace, and it shows beauty in the fall time, regardless of where you may be.

MV Swimmer Michael Leung to be a UMaine Black Bear in Fall 2017

By Abigail Sullivan

Michael Leung is a key component of his swim team here at MV. He began swimming at only two years old with his dad. When he was eight, he joined his first swimming club. Now, he has been blessed with the opportunity to swim for UMaine in the Fall of 2017. The Eagle Eye was able to interview him about what his future has in store! Not only is this interview entertaining, but it is also helpful for other high school students who are looking to pursue athletics in college.

"City Year is a program that I have decided to pursue after high school. It is a program that is eleven months long. Basically, it’s a group of many young adults coming together to help students who are not matching their grade’s standards. It is from third grade to about twelfth grade. I decided to stay in Boston to be around my family and friends. I will be mentoring the kids- similar to action service. You’re helping kids with their homework, helping children attain different skills… many of the kids I met on shadow day struggled with speaking English, some lived in a single parent home, or were even abused so they needed help emotionally. I am the extra support in the classroom besides the teacher. After I am done with City Year, I would like to pursue education in college. I want to become a social worker within a school, or maybe become a principle. City Year is giving me a first look at school, not as a student, but as a faculty member. I will be able to see what teachers do inside and outside the classroom. I’ll be there first hand to see what actions teachers, principals, and counselors take."
