Today is a good day. No—today is a great day. A day like today has been year in the making. Today is a day for victory, a day for celebration, a day for pride. Today is a day for us to take a deep breath, lift our voices, and say, “I did it. I deserve success, and I will go out and find it.” However, while today may a day for rest, of relief, of anticipation of what comes next, today is also a day to understand exactly what we are leaving behind: a school full of our memories, our achievements, our

Airport Appearances A shrieking whistle breaks the dark silence of the room. I roll over with a dazed groan and slam on the snooze. 5:00 a.m. "Why do the nights go so much quicker than the days?", I ask myself as I roll back over in a futile attempt to relish the extra seven minutes I've been granted by the neon globe on my night stand. 5:02 a.m. There are a few things I can see without my glasses in the dim light of the morning, and this is one of them: Seven extra minutes are not going
Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice presents the topic of racism, an issue people face even to this day. I feel readers have difficulty in characterizing the play and Shylock because they are influenced by current society and know that racism should not exist. To comprehend the play’s designation as a comedy, we must view the play through a 16th-century
tumor, illness. All three of these things bring about a negative thought to the mind. The aches, the pains and the not-so-good feeling that comes from them are not enjoyable either. Just like feeling sick or having poisonous toxins in the body, food can have a similar effect on the body. Preservatives, dyes and syrups are put into many foods today that give off that not-so-good feeling. Larabar claims to be different from the rest of the food bars in which they are all-natural and will not give off
From a Non-English Speaker to a College Student My day started as usual, after I woke up and prepared my coffee. When I checked the To-Do list, the first thing on the list was checking the mail. When I went outside, it was a nice weather that made me feel that it is going to be a good day for me. I entered the house and sat on the couch. Then I started to check my mail one by one. There was a white fancy envelope with a golden title that got my attention. I immediately opened the

shouldered his way out of the swampy atmosphere of the high school locker room. The soccer game had re-energized his previously smoldering brain cells. The tedious honors Calculus class that he taught just before lunch was not the highlight of his day. Not that he didn’t like the subject matter, math had always come easy to him, but attempting to convince a group of 11th grade students that the logic of derivatives was actually something that they needed to master in order to survive was another
“You never get a second chance to make a good first impression” (Forbes, 2014), a quote often attributed to Will Rogers, is a clever summary of the importance of making a good first impression. Most of the time we forget the power of making a good first impression and the role it plays in our daily lives. The impression we get the first time we meet a new coworker or acquaintance immediately influences how we treat them. “Just three seconds are sufficient to make a conclusion about fresh acquaintances”

and money, not humanity. Becoming a doctor was one of the furthest things from my mind. I peered at the "undecided" box and checked it sheepishly. That action seemed to announce such failure. All that I was certain of was that one-day I wanted to have

I recently read The Explosive Child, written by Dr. Ross W. Greene. I found this book to be extremely informative, and I could relate to its contents on both a professional and personal level. In The Explosive Child Greene discusses “a new approach for understanding and parenting easily frustrated, chronically inflexible children” which he refers to as “inflexible-explosive.” A child who is inflexible-explosive “is one who frequently exhibits severe noncompliance, temper outbursts, and verbal physical
others. To this day, Mr. Bill is one of the greatest employers/supervisors I ever had. However, it was a while before I knew I got the job. It took about the span of two weeks before I received a call. For a teen to get a job at the park was a very competitive, considering it was a summer job and like any job it had limited positions. Also, to make it even more frightening if you got the at the park you were guaranteed a job anywhere else in town. It wasn’t until that faithful day, I remember it
unemployment was very high, riots broke out as the unemployment stormed through Liverpool looking for justice. The plays which Alan Bleasdale wrote were all through Liverpool, thousands of people were unemployed throughout Liverpool. To this day people see the unemployed as lazy, poor, unhappy and homeless, people who just walk around the streets, sleeping outside, on park benches, in shop doorways, in cardboard boxes, no homes, no jobs and no money, left to beg on the streets.

other student. Another one of my strengths is that I am very intuitive. This ability helps me understand and interact with people on a more intimate level, because I almost have a good idea what the other person is thinking or feeling. For example when I would come home from work I would know if my mother had a good day or not, and if something upset her, I could almost always tell by her eyes. An additional great strength that I have is my honestly. People that know me or go to class with me can
