Black text on a white square that states, "Pulse check. Have you recently volunteered? Why or why not? Do you think that people are less able or willing to volunteer now than they were 10 years ago?" Behind the white square, the background is a bright, dark purple. Soundwaves in a lighter purple come out from behind the left and right side of the white square. On top of the square, in the top right corner, is a small, light purple outline of a bird.
Text in front of a black and white square that states, "Pulse check. We’re flooded with local, national, and global news daily. Much of it is no longer surprising. What’s one recent piece of news that actually surprised you?" To the right of the text is a little purple bird. The background behind the square is a brighter toned purple.

Image of Hormoz Island, Iran. The sea around Hormoz Island is reddish because its soil is rich in iron oxide, turning it and the shallow waters by the shoreline a vivid crimson or pink.

What can I possibly do here? I cannot negotiate peace." The text is rearranged from the essay to demonstrate the feeling of being pulled by what the author can and cannot do to help her home and family. At the bottom of the image are the credits to Ayaz E. In the upper lefthand corner is The Sentinel logo.
Text that reads: "What has the worst loss you’ve experienced — in sports and in other competitions — taught you about yourself? What have you taken from the experience?" The text is placed on a purple and black square. Behind the square are dark purple concentric circles for decorative purposes.
