The Sato Studio is a club name for a news/podcast cycle group. “The Ascent” is a student-led podcast featuring conversations with members of our school community and individuals beyond campus who are making a difference and having success. Each episode provides an interview of a successful individual who has greatly impacted the Long Beach Community and their story/journey. In partnership with Ms. Saeed, we are able to provide this media to the school community.
In this episode, Matthew Seo catches up with fellow junior and HOSA Treasurer Hannah Querido. Hannah shares her perspective on the Biomedical pathway, her transition from homeschooling to public school, and how she manages the intense workload of an upperclassman.
We get into the "nitty-gritty" of student life: from the 11th-grade integrated project to the recent Board of Education changes regarding graduation requirements. Whether you're an incoming freshman or a stressed-out senior, Hannah’s insights on humility and self-control offer a refreshing take on the Sato experience.
