I was seven years old when I landed at London Heathrow Airport as a refugee. I was accompanied by my mother, sister and cousin. The year was 1995. I have vivid memories of the flight and the aftermath. My mother recalls the sympathy and kindness with which we were treated. We were taken into a small room by an immigration official who gave us tea and rich tea biscuits. I remember being tired because we landed just before midnight on a Saturday night. I also recall being excited because I was…

Staying in school until around 5:30pm was always the norm for me. But it wasn't because I was in any varsity teams or advanced classes. Instead, it was because I was behind on the lesson and I was recommended by my math teacher to attend remedial classes during my first and second year. I had a carefree, light-hearted, "bahala na si Batman" kind of attitude towards my academics and I couldn't really join any varsity teams even if I wanted to because of it. My attitude and academics didn't…

Some of the four most difficult years of a teenager’s life is their time during high school. Where they are too busy caring about what they should wear, what college to attend and making best friends, but for some their focus is on something different. At Heritage High School students join clubs to feel like a part of the school and it allows them to socially engage with their peers. There is a club that is not like any other it's not a yearbook club or video game club, but instead it is a club…

States, I intend to open a dental clinic or dental clinics in the remote parts of Ghana, especially in the northern part of Ghana like my hometown, where dental care is not easily accessible. I also intend to set up an NGO and working with some dental colleges, provide free dental care at these clinics for the people in those areas on a frequent…

These students seem to be the ideal picture that everyone expects all the kids to be. They take honors and AP classes, they turn in everything on time with little to no errors, they have always had the goal to get at least a 4.0 and get into a good college. They are unsatisfied even when they receive a B. Their life seems pretty set in stone. They are just one of those that do really good, almost flawless. They want to see their picture blown out in the high school cafeteria with their name…

The Pillowman was the one of the 1st full plays I have seen. Personally, theatre has always been something I just never paid much attention too until my senior year of high school. However, sitting through this play was rather eye opening. I developed this appreciation for theatre. When I arrived at the forum I began looking at the program and the first thing I noticed was the amount of people who committed their time to the production. When the play ended I compared the amount of the names in…

us up for swimming classes, ballet classes or soccer classes. As we grow up, our minds develop and we get interested into science classes and summer camps. Seniors are more interested into honor choirs, art exhibitions and designing classes. For college students, the nature of hobbies changes. Advertising for student unions, committees, political parties and elections are everywhere trying to attract students to share and have their own activities within campus. Having a hobby is not a luxurious…

compassion, and a goal to become a doctor. Ever since I met her I’ve always been on my top game because I have always assumed our friendship was built on each other academic successes that would be the spinal cord to the gates of glory we call college. During the months we were developing our friendship I was excelling in all my classes including the ones I use to struggle with in the past. I wouldn’t blame her for my success but she was that extra push I was missing. She wasn’t my cheerleader…

Lady Bird: A Movie for the Coming-of-Age Time to Fly https://m.imgur.com/YC9GMaw The setting: St. Francis Xavier High School, a Catholic, all boys college preparatory. Plot Twist: It’s located in Sacramento, California. When I first saw the trailer for Lady Bird, I was initially disregarded the film as a cliche, sappy coming-of age movie. A few weeks later, after the recommendation of my sister who pointed out its relevance to me because the movie is set in a Catholic high school, I buckled…
