Gabriel Sosa
Gabriel is a Monmouth native who attended Central high school where he won two state championships in basketball. With plans to graduate in the summer majoring in criminal justice, he wants to attend Western Oregon University and finish his bachelors in criminal justice, but for now, he enjoys Linn Benton because “the instructors are very caring, and truly do a good job.” Gabriel could not stay away from the basketball court after high school as he still coaches youth basketball while being a full time student.

It was a big transition for Everett as he moved from Eugene to Albany for a wonderful opportunity to pursue the education he wanted and play the sport he loves. Everett’s elite shooting ability and nuclear athleticism allowed him to be a key player in Linn Benton 2017 final four appearance. In 2018, Everett was a standout player with a unique ability to score clutch buckets for the roadrunners, helping them tie the game against Clackamas community college with a brilliant display of athleticism. But aside from basketball, and spending copious amounts of hours in the learning center studying; Everett enjoys eating vegetables from Winco. Everett is a vegetarian, he say he is because he prefers tofu and also says it is more sustainable for the environment to practice a vegetarian diet. Everett enjoys Linn Benton because he has “met some cool people, enjoyed classes as well.”

Is being a photographer of a meaningful event, giving people that do not have a voice a fair representation, as well as informing people around the world about a crisis really worth it?

Some of the lessons I can learn from Addario is how good a job she does by really being discrete, just a fly on the wall that people don't notice as she photographs them. I see that she really gave up years o...
