This is an invasion of privacy, the students are far too young, the cost is too much, and the statistics for this state, there is a very low…

I started off freshman year learning the basics. Where to walk in the hallway and how long it takes you to walk across the school are just like learning how to march for the first time. As I progressed through high school things started to come more easily to me.…

From personal experience during times like high school, our best athletes always seemed to be treated a little better than everyone else. They were viewed as stars at a young age. Always getting preferential treatment and being told how great they were day in day out. This then transfers over as these athletes get full rides to big time schools to play college sports. Like professional sports, when collegiate athletes get in trouble with the…

In elementary school I did not have a very dramatic social life. Sure, I had a few close friends, as well as a few enemies, but everything was relatively routine. Usually, I would play army tag with my friends, but sometimes I would fight over a class skipping rope with one of my long-time enemies. Eventually, eventually one of us would reluctantly give the skipping rope to the opposing party, but other times I would get irritated and go tell the teacher that the girl was bothering me.…
