Humans are competitive creatures by nature. Most of the entertainment media we consume—books, games, movies, and TV shows—incorporate a competition in some way, shape, or form. Think of cooking shows, like Master Chef and The Great British Bake Off, and sports tournaments. The audience is at the edge of their seats, invested in who will take home a gold trophy or a cash prize.

We at the Armijo Signal believe it crucial to start off the 2022-2023 school year with a winning mindset. But, you need to know what success looks like first. Who you consider a winner or what is winning varies from person to person. Success is in the eye of the beholder.

From coaches to Oscar-winning actors, this issue of The Signal boasts a diverse set of winners. Maybe one day you will find your achievements immortalized on the website.
