Sports teach young adults to be part of a team, to answer to a superior, and to learn that everybody has a job to do to gain a positive result.…

Droughts should not be ignored and should be solved, reminding us that there are many solutions to the problem such as watering systems, water absorbent substances, and desalination.…

There are often times that trying new activities may seem scary, but in the end you will be grateful for trying something new.…

Good, experienced teachers have the ability to skillfully teach their content area, as well as the ability to relate and communicate with their students.
