Dear readers,
Welcome to the family and launch of Newrizons Magazine! When we started this magazine, we had a vision of sharing our experiences at the
center with you. We assigned our students the task to write the things they wanted you, our readers, to see. But many stories and articles later, that vision evolved.
Something that we as educators have noticed is many education systems are taking less and less priority in improving language skill in our next generation. That, however, is a mistake because we share our thoughts and ideas through language. What we know from cognitive psychology is that language processing also plays a major part in problem solving, decision making, and reasoning — all important for everyday tasks.
We hope to show you that writing and language skills are still important. Moreover, we hope to share, to recognize, and to inspire.
Seeing all these children’s faces every day reminds us that each and everyone of us has a bigger mission in life. We, as educators and seniors, are obligated to kindle and foster growth in our next generation.
The center tutors well over 400 students online, in-private, and in-center. We’ve got a lot going on. But that doesn’t mean we have to limit ourselves. Keeping this magazine running is for our students, for those who will grow on to reach bigger possibilities.
And this also for you, our readers, who care to show support not only for us, but also for our students. We hope this magazine will also inspire you.
Yours truly,
Anna YangJeff Nguyen

1. A - Z: Captain D’s Pure SoulWRITTEN BY DENNIS DOAN (8TH GRADE)
Amazing new technology was given to
Deven by God. Because Deven was a perfect
child, God bestowed him with the task to guard
his gift.
“Can I trust you?” God asked.
“Duh, of course you can,” Deven replied.
“Er, just like all human teenagers.”
“Farewell,” God said after giving Deven
technology to do virtually anything.
Getting an idea to bring peace to the
world, Deven then decided to use his mystical
equipment for mankind. Human kind needs a
hero, Deven thought. I shall fulfill that role.
Just then, Osama Bin Laden came from
the shore 30 miles away. Kinetic energy from his
movement caused Deven to move and detect
the presence. Literally out of nowhere, Deven
soccer kicked the Taliban leader to the shin.
Monsters were being killed and arrested in
seconds. Now Deven, the new hero, was being
called Captain D. Over seconds, Deven was
doing good things.
Panteneous, the evil demon hater, plotted
to kill Deven. Quietly, the demon plotted a way
to destroy Deven, and using his great power, he
put earth in an apocalyptic state.
Russians were tormented by terrifying
beasts. Seven-feet-tall rocky crystal monsters
with the strength to lift cars attacked, and Deven
struggled to defeat every one of them. They
came in hoards, blasting spears a million times
towards the snow.

2. Best Friends Forever, Except Not: How We Became FriendsWRITTEN BY JULIA LE (3RD GRADE)
One day in first grade,
we were picking up trash. A
girl named Claire bumped
into me. as she bumped into
me, I asked her, “You want to
be my friend?”
She said, “OK.”
Ever since first grade, we
were always friends. We had
lots and lots of fun together
but on January 1, she will be
moving.
But before she moves
I’m going to call her mother
for her email so I can
FaceTime. Even thought I can
FaceTime her I will still be very
sad.
So, I have until January 1
to have fun with her.

U.S. citizens were turned
into 4,000-feet-tall beings
capable of lifting the sun.
Violent actions were needed,
so Deven killed every single
being with his super fast laser
guns.
Wild actions from Deven
made God question his
decision.
“X-ray vision? If only I
could see through your pure
soul,” God said to himself.
Yellow blasts killed the
monsters, and then Deven
realized he was murdering
human beings. Zen was no
longer being achieved by
Deven…by killing innocents
he no longer had a pure soul,
and in the end God cursed
Deven and fixed his mistakes
by imprisoning him.

3. A - Z: The Zoo in My BedroomWRITTEN BY JULIA LE (3RD GRADE)
At a place where you can
sleep. Bedroom. Could be very
cozy. Deeply soft. Elephants are
too heavy for beds. For humans
only.
Giraffes break my ceiling.
How could they? I certainly don’t
know. Jaguars just jump on the
beds. Kids love sleeping in (on a
day like school).
Lions think “I’m so pretty.”
Monkeys like the leaves blown
inside. “Noooo!” Orangutans
are here!
Poop is in the bed because
babies took their diapers off.
Queens can’t sleep in this
territory!
Rhinos pick me up on their
horns. Snakes slither slowly
around the sofa. Tigers are my
new pets.
Unexpected,
Erin (my sister)
comes in. Vicious
animals roam
around her. Was
that my revenge? X-ray
pictures are torn up. Yo-yos
have been broken. Zebras scare
away my tigers.

4. Dear MommyWRITTEN BY ALEX (3RD GRADE)
5. My experiencesWRITTEN BY HARRIS NGUYEN (HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE)
My name is Harris Nguyen.
I was born on Sept. 15, 1996. I’m
currently 18 years old, and I’m
planning on majoring in chemistry in
college. I tend to be straightfoward
and honest with things, though I
maintain a clueless appearance, as I
am always questioning most things
whenever I lay my eyes of them.
I’ve only attended Newrizons
for about two months. Since
Saturday sessions are full, I go on
Fridays. My instructor is Jeff, and
the club I’m representing is English
(big shocker). I need a bit of tutoring
for my school work and possibly for
college as well.
My perspective of this tutoring
center is that it not only has great
service, but you’re also able to ask
your instructor questions relatable
to your own school work and relax a
bit during break time.
You create connections
with not only your peers but your
instructors as well.
I love my mom because she is nice and takes me to school. I give
bear hugs to my mom. On Christmas I can see Santa in the sky. He give me
presents because I’m good at writing letters. That’s my favorite thing to do.
On holiday, I eat a turkey because they’re so good for me and my whole
family in the house for dinner.

ESSAYS & MORE
I’m thankful for my family. For
example: my mom gave birth to me, so
without my mom, I wouldn’t be alive.
My sister is also part of my family, so
without her, I would be spoiled and I
would always be bored. My grandma
is part of my family, but without her I
would not be very safe. (She also gave
birth to my dad, and without him I
would be alive.) I love my family!
I’m also thankful for food. Without
good, I would starve to death. Even
though some foo is “icky,” I have to eat
until I get a full stomach. My favorite
food is tofu. Another example is: Some
people don’t get food and only get
little crumbs. My grandmother always
tells me, “Eat your food because you’re
lucky. Other people don’t have food.”
Another thing I’m thankful for
is that I go to school. Not very many
kids go to good schools in the world
because their parents can’t afford it.
School is also where I learn and become
smart. School can help you with
ignoring bullies also. School also helps
me learn about mistakes. I love school!
The last thing I’m thankful for is
my grandpa. He got me an iPad when
I was 5 and replaced it when I lost it.
He is the only one who doesn’t yell at
me. He cares a lot about me. He wrote
a thankful paper, and the first thing he
wrote about was Julia.

WRITTEN BY KENNETH CHANH (5TH GRADE)
If I could construct my own invention,
it would be a robot that does my homework.
Everyone reading this knows that homework is a
pain!
This robot would be solar-powered so
you won’t need electricity. It would scan your
homework and move its hand faster than you
could blink your eyes.
It has a calculator chip in it. It could write an
essay up to college content. I bet millions of kids
all over the world would use this invention!

Today I will summarize
one of my favorite movie-
turned books, which is “The
Outsiders.” The story is about
two gangs. One of them is
named the Greasers, and the
other is named the Socs. I will
explain the story and summarize
why it is my favorite.
The Greasers have very long
hair and they put grease in their
hair. The Socs have mustaches.
The Socs always hang out with
each other and always jump on
the Greasers. (In the movie, to
“jump” means to fight or hurt
someone.) So the Greasers get
angry at the Socs and want to
fight them. At last, the Greasers
won and the Socs have to stay
in the south of their region.
The Outsiders is the best
movie I have ever watched
because it has a lot of detail
compared to the book. The
movie shows more about every
character. It has a very sad
ending to the movie as well. For
example, one of the characters
named Johnny dies from trying
to rescue the kids from
a burning house and he
got a third degree burn
from that. The second
example is another
character named Dally;
he died because after
Johnny died, he got so
upset he robbed a store
and died when the police
showed up.
The Outsiders is in
one of the banned book
lists because it has bad
words, fighting, and
killing. It is ranked 38
as the most challenged
book. I read the book
when in middle school
when it was not banned.
I even had to write an
essay arguing if the book
should be banned or not.
So the reasons why
I like The Outsiders are
because it has a very
good ending and uses a lot
of big words. The book is also
very challenging. I can see why
this book should be banned for

Reflections from Jennifer Le:Dance Club: Day 1, Recruiting
On the first day of dance club, we had to
recruit members. Melissa, Mrs. Ada, and
I were going around the center asking students if
they would like to join the dance club. Phat said that he would join the team. He likes
dancing. However, he ended up being the only boy
on the dance team. We had some girls say that they
would join, but they didn’t in the end.
The thing that made students want to join was
when Mrs. Ada said that whoever was on the dance
team could get extra food. Then my friends and
I decided to join. We still wanted to recruit Dalla
into the team, but her parents wouldn’t allow her.
In the end, the official Newrizons dance team was
Phat, Melissa, Nhi, Madonna, Christina Thach, Tina,
Christina Truong, Vivian, and me, Jennifer. This isn’t
the whole story of the dance team. Read the next
issue to find out about our practices.

Pho originated in North Vietnam during the early
1900s. In South Vietnam, they usually eat it for breakfast and occasionally for lunch. But in the North, they eat it any time of the day. Pho is consumed by many Asians.
Pho is a Vietnamese food.
The Vietnamese noodle soup,
pho, consists of broth and
linguine-shaped rice noodles
called banh pho. Banh pho may
have few herbs and meat. The
meat could be either beef or
chicken. Pho is a popular food
in Vietnam. Hanoi and Saigon
style of pho differ by the noodle
width, sweetness of both, and
choice or herbs.
There are many chain
restaurant that serve pho, most
of which is run by Vietnamese
refugees.
To learn more on how to
slow-cook pho, keep reading to
the right (continued on page 20
as well)!
To make pho you will need: • 2 lbs beef marrow bones, well rinsed• 2 1/2 lbs boneless beef brisket, fat left on• 1 (4-inch) piece of ginger• 1/2 yellow onion• 4 whole star anise• 3 whole cloves• 1 cinnamon stick• 1 teaspoon whole coriander seeds• 1/2 teaspoon whole back peppercorns• 3 quarts water• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar, more if needed• 2 teaspoons salt, more if needed• Freshly ground black pepper, if needed• Special equipment: slow cooker, cheesecloth, finemeshstrainer

Preheat the broiler and place a rack in the top third of the oven.
Fill a large pot with 1-inch of water and bring to a boil. Add the bones and brisket to the pot and cover. Steam, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove the bones and brisket from the pot with tongs and place them in a slow cooker.
Place the halved yellow onion, cut side up, and the ginger (skin left on) on a baking sheet. Broil for 5 to 8 minutes until the onion is just charred and the skin of the ginger is blackened.

Just add as much as you can and leave it at that. Liquid doesn’t evaporate as much from your slow cooker as it would from a stock pot.

Let the broth cool and then refrigerate the broth until ready to use. If using immediately, skim the fat from the broth using a slotted spoon.
When ready to prepare the pho, remove the broth from the refrigerator. Remove the congealed fat from the broth and reheat the broth in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and salt once the broth begins to simmer. Remove the brisket from the refrigerator and shred it, avoiding the fat. The fat can be discarded and the shredded brisket should be added to the broth.
Bring a medium pot of water to boil. Add the rice vermicelli noodles and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or as instructed on the package. Drain the noodles and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Divide the cooked noodles between four bowls.
Slice the sirloin into thin strips making sure to slice against the grain. You can place the sirloin in the freezer for 20 minutes before slicing to make this easier.
Taste the broth and adjust the seasonings as needed.

ReviewWITH DUY NGUYEN (11TH GRADE)
LAST YEAR’S HYPE: ‘JURASSIC WORLD’
Jurassic World
is the fourth
installment for the
Jurassic Park series. The
movie stars Chris Pratt,
Bryce Dallas Howard,
and Judy Greer.
Located off the coast
of Costa Rica, the Jurassic
World luxury resort provides
a habitat for an array of
genetically engineered
dinosaurs, including the vicious
and intelligent Indominus rex.
When the massive creature
escapes, it sets off a chain
reaction that causes the other
dinosaurs to run wild.
Now, it’s up to a former
military man and animal
expert (Chris Pratt) to use
his special skills to save two
young brothers and the rest
of the tourists from an all-out,
prehistoric assault.
READ MORE ON THE NEXT PAGE TO
FIND OUT DUY’S FINAL VERDICT ON THE MOVIE.
25
‘Jurassic World’ is the type
of sequel where you don’t need
to watch the previous movies
(which I know most of you guys
have not seen) to understand the
plot. The movie has everything
kids and adults could possibly
love (explosion, guns, dinosaurs,
et cetera).
Even though the movie has
many good scenes in it, it still
leaves many gaps where people
have to start questioning the
movie. For example, how did
they manage to open the park
after the event that took place in
the previous movies?
The movie also has too
many cliches in it, from the
siblings who bond because Mom
and Dad might be splitting up,
to an icy adult who learns to love
in time of crisis, to the obligatory
profit-driven villain who refuses
to shut things down even as the
dead body count piles up.
About two-thirds of this
movie is dedicated to the
thundering action sequences,
with the remaining time devoted
to the usual sci-fi thriller tropes. This movie also has some
sense of humor in it, like when
one of the park’s staff members
wore a T-shirt that said Jurassic
Park on it, exclaiming that he just
26
scored this vintage “Jurassic
Park” T-shirt on eBay for $150.
The ones in mint condition go
for $300.
However, sometimes
the actors in this movie
forget to act genuine and
natural. Chris Pratt is the
first persons that came to
mind. I’m a big Chris Pratt
fan, but he’s so focused on
playing the action hero with
a smirk on his face and a
hankering for the girl who
can’t resist his charms, Chris
ends up being kind of a
stiff. However, it is hard not
to look a little goofy when
you’re pretending to be
squaring off against a bunch
of raptors, who of course,
won’t really be in the scene
until post-production.
Other than all the
issues mentioned, the movie
was a great success and
box office killer. The action
was great, the special effect
was spectacular, and oh the
glorious soundtrack from
the previous movies made
it way back to people heart.
How can your heart not soar
when the music swells and
the camera swoops over
Jurassic World before all the
chaos ensues? You happily
strap on the seat belt and
let the silly greatness of it all
wash over you.
