As the manager interacts with the personnel they must develop a platform to draw information out of the personnel. The culture that is developed over time will help do this. A culture that is built on trust and confidence will develop a work atmosphere that is productive. The effort that is…

Saving Theatre Programs My life revolves around theatre. Whether it is rehearsal, memorizing lines, building sets or fundraising it's always about theatre for me. It is stressful to balance school work and time with theatre, but I’ve never loved stress more. I know that my school has an outstanding theatre program. I have seen outstanding school plays and have been part of great shows. I look forward to going to rehearsal and theatre class everyday. Most of the time it’s the only reason why I…

Today, children accumulate trophies for almost everything such as sports, school activities, competitions, and events. Many parents wonder if their kids should receive trophies for just participating in activities. Is it healthy or destructive for kids to receive them if they do not work for them. Studies show that always rewarding kids can cause them to lose motivation, and cause them to fall easier.

“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.” -Michael Jordan. That quote describes what I felt like after being in Chicago.Last February I was given the opportunity to attend the LEAD conference for Student Council. The LEAD conference is national Student Council leadership convention. The opportunity to go was an experience that I will never forget and an experience that changed my life.

But of course, I believe that parts of the past that need to be acknowledged before we pledge our allegiance to a successful 2017. It wasn't till one November morning (2015) while celebrating my…

“Jessica, would you please just sit still for a few minutes?” is something I heard often as a child. I was always on the move, whether I was running, dancing, or twirling around the house. My older brother, however, was the complete opposite; he never was too active. Brandon like to relax, read a book, and just hang out. No, he loved to read books. Most of the pictures from our childhood consist of Brandon sitting next to me, reading way, and me looking bored or trying to escape. Some people…

Despite having lived in Georgia for the past couple of years and having dealt with the immense heat and humidity there, I was still unprepared for the heat of the Arizona summer. As an experienced hiker, I thought of myself as experienced enough to deal with the heat and smart enough to not have to worry about it. I would find out all too soon that I was neither experienced enough nor smart enough to deal with the Arizona heat. I left my house at four in the morning, reasoning that since…

Throughout my elementary school years, from grades kindergarten to 5th grade, I attended a small private school in the town that I lived. My school was, Lake Area Christian and though there are some aspects of my time at this school that I regret, there are many things that I am grateful for. Attending such a small school during my earlier years really helped me begin to acclimate with other children on a smaller scale and learn to navigate looking different than other children. The smaller…

What do you think responsibility means? To me the word means to take ownership for my actions and words, taking charge in a situation that I know I can handle, and doing my duty to God, my country, and others. The official definition is the state or fact or having a duty to deal with something or having control over someone. But what is our responsibility to America?
