It is not until we start reaching our last years of high school and start heading off to college when we realize that life in itself is truly a blessing. Looking back on my childhood, making the basketball team or baseball team was never hard. School always came easy, and…

screaming at her with loud beeping. She woke up with a sigh knowing that school started in an hour. She got out of her warm bed and got dressed in an army green sweater, gray jeans, and pulled on some brown boots. She walked out of her room and into the bathroom.

My parents journeyed from Dominican Republic to Lowell twenty-nine years ago and I learned why because of the trip my family and I took to their native home four years ago.

My parents came to America because it’s known as the country of…

Lincoln, himself, had slaves but he was very determined to try to free the slaves. Lincoln was the underdog in the senate race. Lincoln did not want the union to break apart but he did…
