You know that girl in your English class? The one who wears the same pair of sneakers every day? Or that boy in your physics class who shows up five minutes late on a daily basis? Sure, they could be defined by these appearances. That is, after all, what we notice without any effort. However, if we dig a little deeper, strike up a conversation, or ask a question, maybe we can find a reason why. Based on the idea that everyone has a story to tell, West Side Story randomly chose nine students to find the source behind the things that define them. Four were featured in our Dec. 20 print edition. Read the other five profiles below:
