Soldiers TodayStill Answering
9/11s Call
On tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, Sgt. Robert Santiago volun-
teered to ght in a war that started ten years ago on 911
by Marisa Foulkrod
Millwrite Staff
Sergeant Robert Joseph Santiago, called San-
tiago by his unit, has been on a journey that, as Ameri-
cans, we have all wondered about during the years since
911. What makes a young man want to join the army?
What makes our soldiers want to ght for us and risk
their lives? Sgt. Santiago stated that after September
11, 2001 he saw soldiers going off to war and he knew
that this would be an important moment in history. He
said, “I wanted to be part of that.” So for Santiago it
was about making a difference at a crucial moment in
history.
Sgt. Santiago went into the army with certain expecta-tions about what it would be like. He said that as he
grew up living with his father that his father was tough
on him. His home was a strict environment. So when
he arrived at basic training it was just what he thought
it would be. Climbing hills with hundreds of pounds on
your back, running miles and miles, and other physical
training was exactly what Sgt. Santiago was prepared
for. But what he struggled with was the teamwork thatwas required. He came to realize that when one person
messes up everyone gets punished.

how they felt then and now.

“Miss Christine Salisbury was an art teacher
with great potential,” said Sister Allison. “She was
such a great spirit and a very creative person.” Sister
was very impressed with the portfolio of her work. Her
talent was expressed in many forms: metal, drawing
and painting. She had also been successful in bringing
out the talent of the students she taught. She spent 5
years at the Columbus college for art and design. Sr.
Allison says that she was very excited about having her
join the Central Catholic Community.

Senior News and Notes
Commentary

Okay seniors there are a list of things that have
to be done. Not only do college applications need to
be turned in, but scholarships and nancial aid applica-
tions also need to be lled out. Make sure to check thedeadlines on those.
Make sure to visit one of the open houses at Bald-
win Wallace October 3rd from 6:30 to 9:00pm or John
Carroll Thursday October 13th from 7:00 to 8:30pm.
Don’t just be limited to those colleges though; seniors
should be scheduling visits to potential colleges. Also
don’t forget seniors have one free day where they can
visit a college instead of coming to school.
Seniors should also pay attention to deadlines
for senior career experience. The medical release form
along with your typed goal sheet is due no later than
October 21. Also, transcripts and college applications
should be turned in to Sister Josephe in the guidance
ofce.
There are a lot of things that need to be done,
but if you keep your head together you can get through
it. Relax and enjoy the year as it ies by, soon you all
will be college students!
Are you sluggish in the morning? Saying, “Mom give
me ve more minutes!” wishing it was Friday when
it’s only Monday? Well I can give you ve ways to
prepare for school in the morning.
1. Set your alarm clock one hour before you actuallyhave to wake up. That way when you actually push the
snooze button you aren’t going to be late and have to
rush out the house.
2. Eat a healthy breakfast with orange juice. Breakfast
is proven to help you get energized in the morning so
you aren’t sleeping in that history class of yours any-
more. Make yourself some eggs instead of spending all
your money on McDonald’s every morning.
3. Make sure you actually have your homework done
the night before so you aren’t struggling to nd that
one classmate that actually does their homework so
you can copy.
4. Get to school a little early, it doesn’t hurt. It’ll give
you time to get organized, relaxed, and prepare for
your long day of hard work.
5. Make sure every morning you come to school with
a prepared mind to learn!

Santiago was scared that the kids would be in danger
being around them, but then Santiago went to the store
and bought some Jolly Ranchers and a volley ball and
ended up playing with the young children.
Sgt. Santiago can easily remember twenty sol-
diers he served with. He considers them brothers. San-
tiago said, “No bond you will ever see is like the one
with those you fought beside.” Santiago said that in the
beginning he kept a journal but after a while, as fellow
soldiers were killed, it got too difcult so he got rid of
it. “There were enough stories about this,” stated San-
tiago. He believes that he changed from a boy to a man
in that rst year of deployment.
Sgt. Santiago earned the following awards dur -
ing the three years he served: Army Commendation
Army Achievement, Combat Infantryman, NATO Rib-
bon, Overseas Ribbon, Iraq Companion, Afghanistan
Companion , Global War on Terrorism Ribbon, Ser -vice Ribbon and a Purple Heart.

He said that it was difcult because he knew his own
capabilities and limits but didn’t really know that about
the others he trained with. In a real sense, Santiago was
working to start a new life. He said “To be reborn.”
Sgt.Santiago explained that the way he gotthrough many of the challenges offered by basic train-
ing was not to think about everything too much. San-
tiago said, “I tried not to think, just do.”
The sergeant said that basic training had its fun mo-
ments also. All of the units are in a competition and if
your unit wins you got to go to a place called the Sand
Hill. At Sand Hill there were movies, pizza and pop
and things like that. It was place to hang out just for a
few hours and relax. Santiago said, “Winning is suc-
ceeding.”
Basic training helped get him ready, but only
gave him the basics, the simplest things about being a
soldier. But the real world where he would be deployed
and ght was a lot more difcult.
On his rst tour he went from the states to Ku-
wait. His unit stayed there for a couple of weeks and
then went to Iraq. Santiago said, “The smell, the looks,
it was like it was all on the T.V., then it was reality; new
and exciting; the thought process took a while.” He also
said that he wasn’t really scared until later on and he re-
called, “Fear makes you smart; (that you have to) walk with tactical swagger.”
So what about the people in Iraq? What about
the kids there? Santiago remembered a time he met with
some young children there. He told about a time he had
to watch a street for roadside bombs and children came
to him asking for anything they could get: cigarettes,
candy, anything they could get their hands on. At rst

when his mother told him about it. Now as Terronreects on the event he feels genuine sadness seeing
live footage of the tragic day. He also said he hoped
that if he were in the same situation as the passengers of
United Flight 93 that he would have acted as heroically
as they did in trying to recapture control of the plane.
Senior Janan Shahadah explained that when she
was younger she knew something sad had happened but
was not one hundred percent sure exactly what it was.
She now realizes the far reaching consequences of this
single act.
Samantha Kriefall, also a senior, was one of
many who didn’t go to school that day, kept home by
her mother. When her mother told her what happened,
she remembers being afraid. Today she can better
appreciate the grief this attack caused to the families
of the victims and also the sadness that comes from the
wars we are still ghting.
Many students acknowledge that we have all
been affected by the attacks even though we don’t live

Senior Captains Need to Win Anxiety and Anticipation Mark 2011 Season
by Angel Poole
Millwrite Staff
For senior captains Khairi
Dickson, Kentrell Richard, Jovan
Stoner and Marice Robinson thisnal season of their high school
career causes both anxiety and
anticipation.
Khairi Dickson, with 500
rushing yards, 200 receiving yards
and a total of 6 touchdowns so far
this season, leads by example. He
feels that a signicant achievement
this season would be for the team
to make the state playoffs with a
winning record. His personal goals
are to rush for 2000 yards and score
15 touchdowns. “I should play like
it’s my last season; I play every
down like it’s going to be my last.”
Khairi Dickson came to Cleveland
Central Catholic his sophomore year and he took a big
role on the football team junior year when he became the
starting running back. He says that his top three dream
colleges to go to and play for would be Northwestern,
Illinois University and the University of Georgia. His pre-game song to get him in the mood for a good game
is “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cindy Lauper.
“I am going to make it my best year. I’m going
do what I have to do to make it my best,” Kentrell
Richard So far this season Kentrell have a total of 200
receiving yards, 2 touchdowns and a total of 20 solo
tackles. He hopes to continue to add to his totals on
both offense and defense. This is his second seaso
as a starter. His dream college to play for would b
The University of Pittsburgh. He echoes Khairi’s hope
to make the playoffs. When dealing with ofcials th
best thing to do according to Kentrell is to “just let the
ref, ref the games don’t try to argue.” Kentrell say
when asked to compare to playing in practice to game
days said: “Playing in front of the crowds just makes
me more into the game; the audience makes me show
out.”

Marice Robinson is a team captain in only his second
season as an Ironman. He said he tried to stay focused
during preseason training and tried his best to get
teammates to push themselves to do the same. During
this nal season he is doing his best to support his
teammates and believes they will do the same for him.
Marice is looking forward to possibly attending Notre

Dame College or Baldwin Wallace. Marice says, “I
don’t let the audience affect my game.” He also states
“No, I don’t feed into the audience especially at home
games; I just do what needs to be done to win.”
Jovan Stoner has been with the Ironman football
team for four years now. He is an honor student here
at CCC with a 3.7 GPA. He plays left guard for the
offensive line. The team “needs to win and make ito the playoffs.” Other individual achievements won’t
matter much. He looks forward to going to Akron
University or University of Toledo while playing
football. Displaying a leadership role is very important
to Stoner as he leads by example. He does not mess
around when it’s time to be serious.

Ms. Salisbury’s death was
sudden and unexpected. Sr. Allison
said there were no signs of any
health issues, so when she did not
come to school on that day Sister
thought maybe she overslept or had
the u. She called Ms. Salisbury’s
father to ask about her. He said it
wasn’t at all like her to miss work.
He decided to go to her apartment to
check on her. When he got there, she
was already dead. Ms. Salisbury’s
death was the result of heart failure.
“It makes you realize how fragile
life is,” stated Sr. Allison.Sr. Allison said she felt
sad because Ms. Salisbury died so
young. She was only 28. She also
said that even the few days she spent
with us were a gift. During new
teacher orientation, Ms. Salisbury
did a quick drawing of an Ironman
while reecting on the history of our
school. This drawing is on display
in our Chapel of the Four Saints.
