Cibola senior earns multiple academic
honors
Isabella Olin has plans to study physics either at
UA or Stanford
Yuma Sun
5 Apr 2021
BY JOHN VAUGHN BAJO EL SOL EDITOR
Isabella Olin remembers how her father used to cultivate her interest in the sciences when she was a little girl by engaging her in impromptu quizzes.
Her mother, she says, instilled in her the discipline to follow through to achieve any goal Olin had set for herself.
The daughter of John and Ruth Olin of Yuma, she has plans to study physics – either at University of Arizona’s Honors College, to which she has been offered a full-ride scholarship, or at Stanford University, from which she is awaiting word on her application for acceptance.
In the meantime, Olin has earned multiple academic accolades as a student at Cibola. She has been selected for the College Board National Hispanic Recognition Program, is a finalist for the National Merit Scholarship Program and has earned distinction at Cibola as an Advanced Placement Scholar with Honor.
Aware that her dreams could evolve in her university years, Olin currently wants to focus on nuclear or particle physics on the way to a career in either the public or the private sector. She’s particularly interested in the nuclear power’s potential as a sustainable energy source.
Olin attended Desert Sonora Elementary School in Somerton and Crane Middle School in Yuma before entering Cibola.
At Desert Sonora, she took part in Johns Hopkins University’s program for gifted students, and more recently she was part of the Cibola team that won a science fair competition.
But she has also has pursued music, having sung in choir beginning in the first grade and taking up the trumpet in the third grade and the bass guitar in the fifth. For two years she was trumpet sections leader for Cibola’s marching band and played in the all-district band, as well as the Music Educators Association of Arizona all-region band. Also at Cibola she’s gotten back into singing in choir.

The church is not a building
As followers of Jesus Christ, we are all called to love God and each other. As members of the Western Jurisdiction of The United Methodist Church, we do that through acts of justice, community outreach, and personal practices of devotion. In April’s video message of the #WhereLoveLivesUMC campaign, we address the myth that the church is just a building and demonstrate a variety of ways we love all people by highlighting some of the ministries across the Desert Southwest Conference. Although we hope the video will inspire you to start a new ministry or connect with one of the ministries featured in the video, we also invite you to use the resources listed below to host small group discussions and encourage further collaboration during the month of April. If you’re not sure how to do that, please review the sample leader’s guide provided through the resources at the bottom of this post.
The official theme is “cares more about people than the building; the church is not a building.” The video message is approximately six minutes featuring Bishop Bob Hoshibata and churches and ministries in the Desert Southwest Conference. The resources for further discussion include short video clips from the main video, contact information for each ministry in the segment, a pastoral prayer for the week, and Faith & Facts cards from the General Board of Church & Society that cover the topics shared in the video clip. In case you’re not familiar with GBCS’ Faith & Facts cards, we’re also providing a sample leader’s guide to using the cards and resources for leading a discussion.
