“I can only do it [schedule] with copious amounts of help from Heavenly Father,

by getting up at three a.m. each morning, and one moment at a time.”

It may very well be said that junior Andrew Henrichsen has the toughest schedule at East. With eight Advanced Placement (AP) classes, and plans to take nine AP tests, Henrichsen has decided to make the most of his last semester at East. He can often be seen walking the halls holding a huge

stack of books, with even more in his backpack. The Oracle got the scoop on his schedule.

“This is my last semester at East High School,

because God told us to move to China, and I really want to make it

count.”

“My friends and other students think ‘What??? Are you crazy?

Well, that is something you would do.’”

[My future plans include] to go on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-

Day Saints, to go to college and hopefully get a PhD in the Sciences with a Bachelors in Spanish (probably), to take at least one psychology class, to get married and have

children, to remain an active member of the LDS Church, to do good daily, to accom-plish every goal I set for myself, and to be

happy!

out of the ordinary

The stupid two-legged watches me too much after he gets his homework done.

-Freshman Jacob Klene, about his frogs, Fred and George”

Angel, our oldest goat fights her own shad-ow and ends up knocking holes into things.

-Junior Brianna Merritt, about her goat, Angel“ ”

”

She selects her own vegetables and pulls them out of the fridge.-Junior Jesse Sweet, about his rabbit, Onyx

“ ”She is fat and stalky and short with a big attitude, but she is nice.

-Sophomore Rachael Maurer, about her horse, Jo Jo“ ”

The most noticeable thing about senior Mary Urquidi’s horse may be his size, but there’s

more to him than just his height. Bandit is actually completely blind in his left eye due to the abuse from

his previous owner and has severe cataracts in his right eye, yet “he still can run barrels, ride trials and

jump jumps,” Urquidi said. Urquidi decided to get the seventeen-year-old

Apaloosa horse because of her passion for horses. “I’ve always loved horses, and I’ve always wanted to work and train horses. I’ve been riding for about 10 years now, so I thought a horse with a disability

would be a fun challenge,” Urquidi said. Despite his disability, Urquidi would switch places with Bandit

in a heartbeat. “I’d like to experience maybe what he goes through. View the world the way he does. To

be able to trust so deeply the way he does would be something very awesome to experience.”

Trust plays a huge role in the relationship Bandit and Urquidi share. “It takes a lot of trust on his part to

allow me to ride him, especially because of his lack of sight.” Though his disability sets him apart, Bandit

is different in other ways. Said Urquidi, “He’s his own horse, and has a mind of his own! Sometimes it seems like he knows what I’m saying, or other

people around are saying.” Urquidi definitely chan-nels Bandit’s independent spirit, especially when she responded to what she thinks Bandit would say about his life. She laughed, “The pastures always greener

on the other side of the hot wire!”-Shelby Woodard
