Sammy Munubi: Not Apethetic
Junior, Sammy Munubi is a student with a background from Kenya, Africa. Sammy moved to America with his mother and father to make a better life for his family. His father and mother got a divorce not too long after they moved to the states and later moved back to Kenya. It was just Sammy and his mother making it work. He has been staying here in Wichita for 10 years, since he was six years old.
Sammy’s biggest influence is his mother. Because it has only been his mother around from his family, she supports them both and he loves her ambition. “It’s just me and my mom.” States Sammy. “We have a very strong bond. Since my dad left us, things are pretty laid back, but sometimes it gets strict.”
Sammy is a good student because his mother was in college studying to be a nurse. She has a good work ethic that thoroughly inspires Sammy. “I had a pretty hard-lived childhood so I set a pretty high bar for myself so I work harder.”
So many things that Sammy does can be looked at by other students for an example. He is an exemplary student all around.

AFJROTC Dining Out
AFJROTC had a dining out for Heights AFJROTC unit. Everyone from Heights AFJROTC unit was there along with their guests if they decided to bring one. The dining out was on February 4, 2012, at Corporate Caterers. The dining out was a tradition that the Air Force has every year in celebration of the making of the AFJROTC. They had a toilet at the front for violators of the mass. All freshman and AS1 (First rank) had to go to the grogger and drink the substance and hold it above their head to confirm that the drink was fully consumed; if a drop hit your head then u would have to go get another cup and do it again. Violators of any rank or year (freshman, sophomore, etc.) had to also go to the grogger.
Sophomores attend Reality University
Sophomore English classes experienced Reality University, or Reality You, last week. In first semester, students filled out a form and answered questions as if they were 26 years old. Based on GPAs and choices, the people from Reality You chose the students relationship statuses, credit score, whether they had kids or not, and monthly income. Reality You took place in the Heights gym, where several booths were set up. Based on a students' monthly income, they could go to each booth and spend a certain amount of money. The booths were for things like child care, insurance, food budget; everyday things that adults need. After the students were done, if they still had money left in their monthly budget, they were considered okay and responsible. Some students ended with nothing, and had to receive financial help from SOS.
