BRING ME THE HORIZON’s lead vocalist and lyricist, Oliver Sykes, is one of the most recognizable rock-stars in the current generation for hardcore, punk-rock music. Sykes’ success was just the tip of the iceberg because underneath all the fame and riches, he…

I never loved to read. It always seemed boring and purposeless, which caused me to never truly focus on the meaning of the author’s message. My mind always wandered because I never felt the words that the authors were feeling. The creativity of my mind also seemed to overwhelm the creativity of the book I was reading. I was focused more on my ideas rather than the ideas of the author. Writing, however, was a way for me to spill all my bottled creativity into words that meant something. In fourth…

obsessions, books and band. These two fascinations have influenced my everyday choices in life. Band is something that I have been involved with for seven years, and I plan to continue in college. Being involved in this wonderful program has taught me responsibility and has nurtured my love for music. In band, everyone is responsible for many things.

whatever problems arise and that will help me grow as a person. An academic goal, I set for myself before I even entered college is that I want to finish up my college career earlier than expected. This study abroad program will allow me to finish up my free electives, putting me that much closer to graduating. I want to get a jump-start on my career path, but I also want to keep educating myself about the business world. This opportunity will broaden my horizons while keeping my goals in…

But he is exaggerating when he claims that it progresses “minstrel technique” and…

enough justice. She is also amazing, patient, understanding, inspiring, genuine, and sweet, not only as my elementary school teacher but also as a person. She is above all these things an original. She made learning fun and taught me to love what I do and to love those around me. Now, I have had many teachers and educators throughout my career as a student, and as an athlete and while many have been able spark a certain memory with fondness, none have come close the light that is my fifth grade…
