people eagerly waiting to board a ship. One by one they briskly dropped the small crowded boats into the water, but the line didn't seem to get any smaller. I didn't lose hope I stood in line hope in my heart until I realized the boats were gone not a single boat remained. I stood there in horror. My fearful thoughts raced around in my head. I didn't listen, I didn't think, I didn't speak, I just bolted towards the edge of the ship. I…

Overall I believed that the group did a pretty good job presenting the information of Propaganda to the class. I believe that some areas could have been a lot better than others. For instance in the end the last guy presenting seem like he didn’t know anything about the topic and was just trying to make sure he did his part or just did something overall. At the same time I believe the group as a whole should have helped or done something to change that. I also believe there was too many videos,…

Generally in the past my life has gone by fairly slow in years, this year however just happened to be an exception. I would say that this year was one of the most important and entertaining years of my life, and I still to this day don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I have gotten to experience a lot more this year than in the past, and I am very grateful yet worried that I have had to experience some of these things so young in life. This past year I was able to experience a lot…

The sunrise coming up over the clear blue ocean is mesmerizing. Sitting on the top deck of the boat, I stare at the masterpiece before me. My grandparents and I are eating breakfast when an elderly woman sits at the table beside us. We waited for someone to join her, but no one did. My grandma, being the social type, starts to make conversation with the elderly woman. “Pretty sunrise isn’t it,” my grandma ask. “It sure is lovely,” the elderly woman said. “Where you from?” my grandma said. “I…

It was a bright sunny day. I decided to go to the South East Library. As I entered, my mother saw a flyer for a teen drama camp. The flyer read: Come to Lake Arlington Branch Library to get the basics in acting, fun with other kids, and a chance to perform a play I thought about it for a while, and came to the conclusion, I’ll do it. Tuesday I arrived at 1:00 pm to the Lake Arlington Library. I found myself surrounded by kids in an itty bity room. There were at least twenty teenagers and one…

Finding the “Good Life” When envisioning the “good life,” we often imagine immeasurable happiness, where all burdens in life slip into oblivion. Unfortunately, this world cannot exist for most individuals, posing the question, what is a “good life” in the life we are given? And once we have found the good life, does that mean we have found happiness, which defined here is the highest good for man. On the journey towards a unique “good life” many have attempted isolation, others have acquired a…

Sometimes making a choice is very difficult. Every decision that we have made can affect our life in either a positive way, or become our biggest mistake that we will regret. People around us can be affected by our decisions too. This explains why most of us are longing for scientists to create a time machine even though it is impossible to happen in real life. If a time machine really existed, many people would invest their money into it. Imagine a time machine that can do everything. It can…

I try to view each negative experience as a learning opportunity and learn from it. I think the most serious negative experience I had was my parent’s divorce. It had a huge impact on me because I was in the middle of it and living with them. I was the one that was experiencing first hand, not just hearing about it. It made me feel many emotions from sad to mad. It was hard to not let it affect my relationship because I was worried if that’s how we would end up. I learned that each relationship…

To begin with, role playing consist of performing a specific role and it help individuals see if they would react appropriately in a real life situation. There are many different ways you can prepare for a role play but planning ahead is a huge part of role play. I made sure me and my partner came up with a specific group to focus on and was sure to know the purpose behind the group. I also prepared for the role play by making sure I stayed calm, professional, and made sure I would be able to…

Kayla was walking from her 5th period class to go to lunch. Meeting with her friend Victoria she looks at Victoria tray and notice a big oversize chicken, greasy fries, no fruit or vegetables.

On that note Kayla went in line…
