Yvette Cuenco, 16, calls Concord home where she attends Clayton Valley High School. There she is an editor for The Talon, which she considers to be an "eye-opening" newspaper. Among her many accomplishments, she is senior class social director, a Filipino folk dancer, and a member of the California Scholarship Federation.
In her temporary home at SF State, she "wants to learn what it's like to be a "real journalist." How does she accomplish this? She wakes up at 7:20 a.m., hustles to read the newspaper and eat simultaneously, and is enslaved for almost 13 hours each day until 9:30 p.m. "It shows what we'll be getting into," Cuenco said.
