too fragile, brittle, or didn't look quite right. The Liberty Bell was first rung to celebrate the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. When the Civil War finally ended, Americans were searching for something to symbolize unity and freedom. The Liberty Bell became just that. The Liberty Bell traveled around America, bringing help to those who survived the war and everyone else. A couple of weeks before the British completely occupied Philadelphia, which was in October of 1777, all bells, including the Liberty Bell, were removed from the city. Although the Liberty Bell was removed from Philadelphia, it didn’t get melted like it was supposed to. Instead it was hidden under the floorboards of the Zion Reformed Church in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, the bell is now unable to ring and was first name to be when it cracked during the celebration of George Washington's Birthday and 1846. Liberty Bell has traveled around the world, making history and it certainly isn’t going to stop making history now. The Liberty Bell is a very popular tourist destination for American citizens and anyone visiting America. The Liberty Bell is located at 526 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the Liberty Bell Center. The Liberty Bell Center is across the street from Independence Hall and the Historic Philadelphia Center. The Liberty Bell Center is open from nine o'clock in the morning to five o’clock at night, from September to May. Admission is free and you…

As I walked through the front doors of Allentown Central Catholic High School, I felt a sudden rush of panic. Everything I had once seen and had once been familiar with in middle school quickly vanished into thin air. I was terrified, not because I thought I was going to get lost, but because I knew that every little quiz I took, every little paper I wrote, and every exam I labored over would now count toward my ultimate goal of getting into a prestigious university. I wasn’t scared of new…

Niagara Falls Upon arriving to the Allentown Art Museum I had a slight idea of what I was looking for. My initial plan was to simply find a piece of artwork that I was immediately drawn to, because it would mean that it was something I wanted to learn more about. Interestingly enough, prior to this museum, I had never been to art museum. Walking through I was mesmerized by various paintings, and also turned away by numerous others. This was to be expected; however, the one artwork that I found…

now drive past. With those trees in my rearview mirror, I continued north towards Muhlenberg College in Allentown Pennsylvania, reflecting back to where my environmental interests first took root. As a student-athlete at Muhlenberg, when I wasn’t learning in class or training on the soccer field, I was engaging with my community through various leadership roles. Early on in my undergraduate career, I joined Muhlenberg’s Environmental Activism Team (EnAcT), a student organization dedicated to…
