Which chаrаcter used the term vergа, Mexican slang fоr cооl or good, to excess in I'm No Longer Here?
Quоtаtiоn #1 If it's fifth periоd, it must be time for Hаcky Sаck for high school senior Jess Rojas. Second period the Boulder, Colo., student spends staring into space at the library, and the rest of his day isn't much more challenging: The 17-year-old claims he can get A's or B's with little or no effort. Rojas's problem? He's got senioritis, a condition that has afflicted him since he was accepted into the University of Colorado-Boulder last month. "I'm not taking any classes that I need to graduate," says Rojas, who finished his requirements by the end of junior year. "I'm ready for college now." Rojas is not alone. "Nobody claims the senior year," says Michael W. Kirst, a professor of education at Stanford who studies the subject. "The high schools don't know what to do with it; the colleges won't say what should be done with it, and the students are acting rationally by getting the signal that none of it matters." Hsu, Caroline. “Is It Time to Ditch Senior Year?” Science and Society, 8 Feb 2019, p. 36. Quotation #2 One look at college remediation rates might suggest that more, not less, intensive learning in high school is what's needed. In fall 2000, 76 percent of postsecondary institutions offered high-school-level remedial reading, writing, or mathematics courses, and 28 percent of freshmen enrolled in at least one of them. College remediation at Colorado state colleges alone costs anywhere from $15 million to $21 million a year. Not only are students academically unprepared for college, but they also are not socially prepared. Can we honestly say that the average 17 year old is mature enough for the rigors of college life? Hirscheiser, E.D. “High School Without Seniors?” The New York Times, 12 Dec. 2018, p. B4. Quotation #3 What we do know, as Schrag points out in “The Near-Myth of Our Failing Schools” is that Americans now have a higher (and rising) percentage of college graduates than any other country. Today, the number of students passing advanced-placement exams—giving college credit for high-level high school work—has risen from 98,000 in 1978 to 535,000 in 1996. Apparently, somebody is learning something. Sarasohn, David. “Myth of ‘Golden Age’ of Education.” The Times Picayune, 24 Oct. 1996, p. B5. Quotation #4 In a time when states are searching for ways to meet tight budgets, eliminating the 12th grade would save Colorado alone $271 million, which could be used in a prekindergarten program. Says Colorado state Sen. Dave Owen, a member of the budget committee, "Maybe we need to put more money at the lower end of the scale rather than the higher end. More and more, we’re learning that early intervention is the key to a better education and learning." Paulson, Steven. “Colorado Studying Eliminating 12th Grade.” USA Today, 12 Oct. 2016, p. 52-53. Quotation #5 Katie Miller, 18, has finished her core math, English, and science requirements and is spending the year taking almost all art classes. Some might see her schedule as typical senior slacking, but Miller, who hopes to attend art school, is feeling more focused than ever as she prepares her application portfolio. "'Senior year is the quintessential year of high school,'' said Miller. "You look forward to it for 13 years, and it's an amazing time that everyone should experience.'' Were Miller to graduate early, she would miss the opportunity to take physical education, arts classes and most electives, leaving one to wonder what message that would send about the importance of exercise and the fine arts.

Quotation #6 As highschoolers will be the last of California students to return to in-person learning, seniors are left at home to sit with their symptoms of senioritis in solitude. “Keeping in touch with friends [has been the hardest part of this school year],” senior Sophie Kamenov said. “We’ve been locked up and isolated from the rest of the world, so we have this routine where we have to stay in all day.” Kamenov recalls losing motivation around December, when she had completed her college applications and says it has only gotten worse since. With the absence of traditional senior activities, such as senior ditch day, prom and the infamous senior prank, the class of 2021 has lost the silver linings of senior year that were once pillars of the high school experience. What’s left of senioritis is the simple lack of motivation to learn, leaving few upsides to being a senior.
