It was a quiet, peaceful night. Five family members were happily sleeping. A little girl, around three or four, had a very strange dream about a robot lizard. It involved her dog, her brother and baby sister, and of course, a mechanical lizard. The next morning, as soon as the little girl got up, she wrote down what she remembered of the dream, and titled the printer-paper booklet 'Rodot Lizard '. This would be her first of many small, sloppy stories. If you look back at that story, it seems…

Eckhart Tolle once said, “...the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whatever form.” This is a quote that really describes the life of Professor Charlotte McMath, an older woman with reddish - blonde hair and green eyes hidden behind a pair of round-framed glasses.

but I money is the root of all people.” In Jean Anyon’s 1980 article, “Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work,” Jean realized that there was a very odd trend happening in the schools. She found that money ruled the system. I think that this is a very problemed system that needs a lot of fixing. Making school an equal place would not only better all the education given to students it would create a more equal education given to the students, the educational system should be more balanced…

MEMOIR My first day of school began more than 10 years ago and by that time I was in my native country named Honduras. The school were very poor that it could only afford two teachers by that time.

“School can bind as effectively as it can liberate; it can enforce conformity and limit life chances as well as foster individual talent” (Colombo, 107). I attended DuBois Area High School, which is a public high school in a middle class town. There was about 1200 students in my school so I knew a lot of people but I would see new faces almost every day. I believe there are good things and bad things about public high schools because they have good and bad programs, they push you to go to…

introduction to programming came in elementary school when my sixth grade teacher set aside time each week to teach the class basic programming concepts using JavaScript. I am grateful for this early exposure because individuals from other schools, such as my cousins, did not have this opportunity. I attribute these lessons to my current interest in technology because they inspired me to continue coding during my spare time. By the time I reached high school I became very eager for my…

Xavier is not just your typical high school or private school. It is a very unique school. I went to public school for 9 years until I came to Xavier. I was very aware of Xavier since two of my cousins graduated from here, Shamara and Israel Valdez. Shamara actually introduced me to Xavier and encouraged me to go. She would always talk about her school and the environment. I was curious about it. If it wasn’t for my cousin I would of probably gone to La Quinta High School, since all my friends…
