“I’ve always wanted a New Selmer Super Action 80 Series II alto saxophone. I played it at a music store one day and it felt like heaven. I’ve been wanting it ever since July 2025. I can get it fresh out of the box from Sweetwater, a music equipment website that is very well known for its abundance of instruments. It represents me a lot through the fact that I play my saxophone everywhere I go, and performing it is just genuinely a big part of my life. When I sound good playing my saxophone, my mood instantly becomes better.” – Sophomore James Gamez
“I have always wanted an Apple laptop or an iPad. I first realized I wanted this when my computer was outdated and couldn’t work well anymore and someone suggested that I get a new one. I was inspired to look for a computer by my mother who has one of her own. After looking thoroughly I found a perfect one. Getting this would fulfill me so much by making me feel better having something more reliable to focus on work instead of using my tiny phone.” – Sophomore Aileen Puentes
“I’ve always had an eye for a bass guitar. I’ve played tuba, which is the bass of the whole sound, ever since I joined band, so I feel the bass is something I can do and be just as good at as I am on the tuba. I realized I wanted this when I was able to read music and understand it. It was like it was meant to be. This truly represents me by showing I’m a true band and music geek by heart.” – Junior Jordan Villanueva
“I love cats so much, so I’ve always wanted a Maine Coon, regardless of the endless amount of money they cost. Having my own baby Maine Coon would just bring such a great amount of happiness to my life. It would make my heart content. I always feel really connected to cats. They are genuinely my spirit animal. I almost feel like you can see them right through me. They make me feel so comfortable and safe. So I feel like my personality matches really well with the cat, or specifically, Maine Coons, because I know they’re very calm, they’re very composed, and I feel like I see that in myself.” – Senior Roman Vela
“Realistically, I’ve always wanted money, preferably $10,000. It is a lot of money, and I believe it could help me out a lot. Not only would it help me out but my family as well. In this economy, you can hardly get past a week, and it’s hard buying all my favorite Funko Pops and necessities. I’ve always wanted a large amount of money and to feel the fulfillment of spending money without guilt, especially on things I like and find an interest in. This would fix our money problems so much. I want to be able to take out my friends to eat, buy Funko Pops, figures, and games, and live carefree.” – Junior Vanessa Gonzalez
“I’ve always wanted a guitar. I’m very passionate about music and love learning new skills. When I was nine, my grandparents had a guitar and would occasionally teach me a few basics. I grew up surrounded by music and it became a huge part of my life. I would love to play guitar with my older sister, extending my genre of music. I hope to grow up and give lessons to people and teach them how to play instruments, sing and be aware of the beautiful knowledge of music.” – Senior Kendall Jacobs
“Lego Ninjago Legacy Monastery of Spinjitsu would be the coolest gift to own. Although it is outdated and now being sold at a high price, I would do anything to get my hands on that set. The second it came out I knew I wanted it. It was first released in 2019, and just the feeling of knowing I own such a beauty would bring my ego to the highest. I would brag and display it on my wall, feeling a sense of wow anytime I would see it. I will never forget the many lessons I learned from the show Ninjago, such as never putting things off till tomorrow if it can be done today. I think of this quote regularly.” – Senior Kayeson Tran
