We asked students how they have coped with the death of someone who was close to them on a personal level.

“Well it was a death to an old member of my family, so I just got closer to my family. I cried a lot. I didn’t hold back.”

“When it comes to death, I kind of shut down. I cry, but at the same time, it’s not always negative. [I] kind of have to think they’re in a better place and they’re are not suffering anymore.”

“Friends and family being together, you know; having each other’s back(s). A lot of family reunions, we actually went to a couple bars, had a couple beers for him [and] pour one out for a fallen friend.”

About the Contributors
Armando Jacobo, Online Editor
Spring 2015 My name is Armando Jacobo. I’ve been a part of Talon Marks for three straight semesters now and I enjoy every aspect of the hectic lifestyle that entails it. This is my first semester as online editor. I’m also a journalism major but I’m not entirely set what I want to do with it though. Maybe enter the sports realm or music industry…or just nothing.
Kristopher Carrasco, Online Editor
My name is Kristopher Carrasco I'm that guy that went to college and didn't really know what to do. I just kind of jumped around until I was suddenly failing out of school. Then I found Talon Marks and little by little I started to understand what I wanted to do with my life and apparently it's journalism. The idea of gathering information from a variety of sources and re-telling it through visual or written story telling has engaged me in so much more than I ever thought possible. I love to work with Multimedia, but this year I have become Online Editor in hopes of learning a new skill set. I hope to be a music journalist in the future, but in the mean time I'll be finishing my last semester up at Cerritos College in the spring of 2016. I also love raccoons; like a lot.
