The Los Angeles Pierce College swimming pool has been the home for Brahmas swimmers for more than three decades. The pool system runs day and night, seven days a week. However, keeping the pool running at its full potential requires a trained individual who can handle both pool and student issues.

Getting to know my face
Alright so finally after waiting and much preparation later, I had my interview with Emelyne! I didn’t notice how nervous I was until we began the interview and I found myself using ummm a lot. Not to worry I did correct myself and managed to moved past my shyness.
Kristine and I set out on campus to meet Emelyne at...
Don’t judge a book by its cover
Even though interviewing others can be frightful, it can also be informative. So far I’ve learned that there are all kinds of people out there and just because someone looks different from most, doesn’t mean they are any different on the inside. I had the opportunity of interviewing a student from Pierce who happens to be a small person...
Makings of a good story
Hello fellow bloggers and welcome back! So as of last time our stories for The Bull Magazine lead my classmates and I to places we’ve never been, which allowed us to meet new and interesting people.
But along this path, we’ve found that at times finding and writing a good story can require a lot of work and digging. There...
Shooting for fun
Welcome back fellow bloggers and readers.
This week two fellow classmates/photographers and I met up with Emelyne. Finally we had our photo shoot scheduled after weeks of us being too busy, we decided to meet at the Pierce College Farm. Once there we noticed how vast the farm really was. The land seemed to stretch on and on. We got...
Meeting the family
Welcome back once again bloggers. Last week a classmate and I made the trip out to Arleta to meet up with our subject Emelyne and her family. We were greeted and welcomed inside. We met Emelyne’s parents Edwin and Shirley Batugo, along with her older sibling Aaron. We got to know a little bit about what they do and...
Crunch time
Welcome back bloggers! It has been crazy busy in the news room since the last time I blogged. Everyone is running around getting all the last minute touches done with their stories. Our deadline is right around the corner and I’m not going to lie, things have gone from stress free to stressful. With everyone’s schedule being so packed,...
From color to leads
While on the search for someone to write about color, I came across a few interesting people on campus.
They were going about their day and their regular schedules.
After a few interviews, I finally found what I was looking for. Fernando Oleas, the AFT chapter president.
I jotted down as many words as I could while the information just flowed from...
Behind the scenes
Get ready, set, blog!
Welcome! My name is Ana, I am a newbie at blogging so I’ll try to keep this quick and painless. I am currently writing for The Bull magazine, a semesterly printed magazine at Pierce College.
This semester our theme is on subcultures. If anyone out there is like me and isn’t too familiar with many subcultures, there...
Reaching Great Heights
There is a societal expectation of what we are supposed to look like and what is “normal.” But what if, since before birth, a person’s appearance has been genetically set? Dwarfism is an inherited genetic deviation. This gene can cause a person to be of short stature with shorter limbs. One in every 10,000 births will be diagnosed with...
