About the Contributor
Eyvi Ordonez
Eyvi Ordonez, Managing Editor
Eyvi Ordonez was born in Escondido, but raised in San Diego California. He’s a senior at Hoover High School and dreams of becoming an independent business owner after graduation. He started his barbering business at the age of 15, and since then it has been two years since he committed to becoming a business owner. Eyvi is a big fan of many foods and it’s really a difficult thing for him to have a favorite. He likes all foods no matter what they are. Eyvi struggles with this throughout his social interactions with people. People may ask him what he likes and he won’t be able to sum any food up. As far as drinks, there’s many he enjoys but his favorite is Dr. Pepper, even though it’s not healthy, it’s still a very enjoyable soda to him. He usually picks this soda alongside a burger at his favorite burger joint, Canada Steak. Eyvi takes pride in his community but he also realizes the wrong in it. He believes it´s time to end mass incarceration and mass deportation and instead fix the corrupt system that has been implied onto immigrants and inmates willing to change. Eyvi has in fact had to deal with the troubles of having to worry about immigration alongside the pressure of the justice system. He portrays that from his part he will continue to share the consequences of going to prison as well as the injustice system that created mass deportation and mass incarceration against those that are viewed lower than others.
