Throughout my life, there has been many people who left a large impact on me, from teachers and coaches to parents and siblings. However, one person in particular stands out: my childhood best friend, Lillie Collins. Lillie and I first met in kindergarten at Lexington Elementary. I believe I ran up to her and said, “hey, let’s be friends!” Though we were friends in kindergarten and first grade, we did not become close until second grade. From that year on, we were inseparable. Lillie and I went…

“Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others”--Amelia Earhart. The concept of women’s rights has not always been how it is today. In the 1930s, times were undoubtedly different, but things were especially different for females. Amelia Earhart, however, worked endlessly to change this epidemic; she disagreed with society and the thought of women being lesser and not being capable of the doing the same things that men could…

building a literal and physical wall would be meaningless in making our borders safer; that is because there are many other ways for illegal aliens to enter the country and it would only affect immigration flowing from Mexico. The United States has always attracted people from varieties of cultures as well as from other parts of the world, in order to attain a better life for their family and themselves; these people enter the…

Public Art has been with us since the dawn of time back even when the Roman Empire was alive. It has always been around us, reminding us of historical figures, giving us a taste of the world of art itself for those who cannot access it, and simply showing us something that may be pleasing to the eye. Therefore, our local city council should use city funds to pay for a sculpture to be created and placed at the center of our town. It would be beneficial to our community in many ways. Some of us…

“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow” (William Shakespeare). What is a best friend? To me a best friend is someone you can rely on for everything and anything, especially when the times get tough. It is someone who loves you unconditionally. Someone who will wipe away your tears and not only tell you everything will be OK, but will guide you into a new stage of happiness. But most of all a…

Slavery has always been a controversial topic, but Mark Twain took the risk to address it in his famous book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The book takes place during the time of slavery. Society taught the people to judge the slaves as the lesser majorities. Slaves did not possess the rights and freedoms that the wealthy and independent men had. Society had drilled thoughts and values into the minds of the young people, in which stayed with them and were reinforced in the minds of their…

Volunteering has always been an important part of my life. Helping people and making their lives at least somewhat better has always been an interest of mine. I have seen first-hand how unfortunate some people are compared to me. I have volunteered in bake sales, libraries and even a food bank trying to help people who were dealing with physical limitations. Just last year I sold chocolate for HOSA to help donate money to Susan G. Komen. Memorial Hermann-TMC will be able to give me an…

things with my siblings and I that even my own father wouldn’t. Sometimes he even acts so much like a dad, that I slip up and call him that. The relationship between my uncle and I has changed vastly over the years, but only because we’ve both changed as well. Even though we have our disagreements, Barney will always be my favorite uncle, and even one of my most tolerable family members. My uncle Barney comes across as a simple guy, but truthfully, he’s endlessly complex and hard to understand.…
