Joel Mayorga is currently a junior at Foothill Technology High School and a first-year staff member of the Foothill Dragon Press. He is looking forward to becoming an illustrator for the Opinion Section. Joel believes working under pressure and having a time constraint will be new experiences for him, but he is eager to conquer these challenges head-on. He greatly appreciates all of his teacher’s integrative styles of teaching and acknowledges the difficulty of junior year, however he is passionate about his classes and is determined to strive through all of the hardships. Joel has been a member of the Ventura High School Track Team since freshman year, while also actively keeping an interest for architecture and biology. He hopes to explore the field of journalism after graduating Foothill and would like to attend a University of California.
