Initially I had planned on going to a Mormon church with another friend but he will be in Utah at that time. Growing up, I never went to church that often…

I am not really paying attention, I love seeing how into the concert she is. The music is amazing and I thought I was going to get bored, but you really get into the music. A couple…

In the late 1940’s, a new genre of music was starting to take shape.

Haley was not the creator of rock and roll, but he was the one that changed rock and roll from a “ ‘virtually an…

Eddie Rickenbacker, a World War I hero and Medal of Honor recipient, once said “Courage is doing what you are afraid to do.

Seabiscuit reminds me of the African proverb “smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.” While the main characters–Red Pollard, Seabiscuit, Tom Smith, and Charles Howard–are known for their incredible gains, their losses cannot be forgotten. With each of casts’ misfortunes came their American dreams, even if they were not aware that they would need each other to achieve it. This dream would be lead by Seabiscuit. Seabiscuit was undersized, fairly gentle, and lethargic compared to other horses.…
