Reviewing for an AP Calculus exam, junior Nayeon Ryu graphs equations on her calculator. Ryu believes that "tiger parenting" forces students to put scores before mental health. "Most nights I'm getting a maximum of four hours of sleep, even less if I have multiple tests the next day," Ryu said. "My parents are really pushing me to get into a good college, and sometimes that means prioritizing my grades instead of my health or sleep."

Junior Carly Anderson readjusts a branch for the birds to hang on. Even though Anderson is busy, she had to comfort one distraught bird so she could focus. “There’s a really young pigeon that just sits in his cage and cries until someone takes him out and holds him,” Anderson said. “One day there was a lot of work to do, so no one had time to sit and pay attention to him, but he just kept crying and crying so eventually I just put him on my shoulder and let him watch me work.”
