Junior Alejandro Chavez noted that there’s more to learn from the “Rocky” movie series than just workout routines.

“No matter what the odds are, with hard work and determination, one can do whatever they want,” Chavez said. ““When life knocks you down, you gotta get back up.”

Junior Madison Dvoratchek learned that one should always follow their passions.

“People who love you will always support you in your decisions no matter how bad or dangerous they are,” Dvoratchek said.
