The Tuscarora were a Native American tribe who lived in present day North Carolina.Their…

During my time in ACA 122, I have been considering many colleges, and I have found that my top choice is Wake Forest University.

Up and down and back again, swish the crowd cheers. The game was going well so far, North Carolina was up nine with three minutes left in the game. The other team put up a shot and drew went up for the rebound. All of sudden, drew yelled out in pain as landed back down on the foot of the opposing player. Everyone on his team rushed over to…

Hello. I am Adsila, of the Cherokee Tribe. My name means Blossom, and I am just 11 years old. A lot has happened in the Cherokee history, and there is much to tell. After all, my tribe loves to tell stories. For example, my mother, Adoette, has told me the story of the water beetle. We believe that once the Earth was all water.

He got there and established it with his wife and daughter, but there was trouble. So, Sir Walter went to…

South Carolina is full of highly intelligent people; there’s no reason these people cannot introduce some new ideas and shake things up. Sometimes, change is good. Sometimes, change is needed. South Carolina would improve vastly with the simple addition of new ideas. The state of South Carolina is composed of forty-six counties. Of these, twenty-six are considered “forgotten”. The forgotten…
