It was a beautiful day, a cloudless enjoyable day in a small town called Charlestown. I had just moved here less than a week ago. This place was so much different than any where i had just moved from. It felt like it would take a lot of time getting used being in a new place like this. Before i moved to Charlestown i lived in the beautiful city of Louisville, Ky. It’s a great place with so much diversity and just seeing different people everyday that you have never seen before is what made it…

I still remember the first year when I came to America. Before this trip. I was nervous but most of was happy. I looked forward to seeing and feeling everything in that new place.

But life is unknown, you never know what is going to happen next；Life is also not as simple as you think. I changed and gained most important gift in the last ten months in Florida, America. It is…

whole story began… And that special day was November 9, 2003. From that day on, everyone called me Anika. That is my name just in case you are wondering. My whole name is Anika Chhabra to be specific. Anika is another name of a Goddess in my religion or culture. The day I was born, my face was swollen. By swollen I mean I looked like a bright red tomato. When my grandmother saw me, she was very surprised as she thought that I wasn’t pretty. But on the next day, when the swelling…

“Schools that operate on a four-day schedule typically shorten the school week by eliminating either Monday or Friday and add more time to each day to provide the same number of instructional hours as a traditional five-day week” (“Four-Day School Week–Evidence Blast,” 2013, par. 2). My first thought on a four-day school week is that it cannot happen in urban areas as most families are dual income and so parents are unable to take off one day per week to care for their children. For one…

Growing up I used to see my friends come home from little league practice everyday on school days and that really used to make me mad. They used to get home when the street lights were on and we were not able to come outside and play at that time. One day, I just told my mother I wanted to play football and she got me signed up as soon as possible. I never changed my mind to ever stop playing since that day. The first team I played for was the St. Clair Shore Green Hornets Youth Football, where…

The beginning of Ferris Bueller introduces a rather normal looking high school individual [Ferris] whose impish personality is revealed by his plot to skip school under the pretense of being sick. A number of fade-ins reveal that this isn't the first time that Ferris has skipped school. If anything, given the bland almost bored reaction of the economics teacher [Ben Stein] to the revelation that Ferris is gone again from his class indicates a considerable indifference to Ferris's antics, at…

A Catholic school is nothing more than just a routine. I put on the same uniform, sat in the same classroom, and was taught by the same teacher, every day. It was a place where our biggest worry was who had to serve at Church that day. Little did I know, that school and that Church would make me into the person I am today. I attended St. Clement from kindergarten until the eighth grade. In the eight years I was there, I had a total of just four teachers. It was a pretty small school, with an…
