This is the account for Grotto News, the digital newspaper of Our Lady of Lourdes Academy. Our podcast Olla OutLoud discusses a variety of topics of interest to our campus. The staff converse with faculty, students and alumnae of the school who voice their opinions on current happenings and events.
In this episode, we hear students discuss their different perspectives of idols. As we grow up, we look up to people we find admirable. Oftentimes, we visualize these people as perfect idols who can do no wrong, so what happens when they mess up? How does this change our perception of them, and what does it help us realize about the truth behind who we idolize? We asked Alejandra Gomez-Pina '23, Kristina Guerra '23, and Alexandra Puig '23 to tell us about the people they look up to and why. (Hosts: Paola LIsta '23 and Danielle Noriega '23)
