“Brrrriiiiinnng!” John Smith turned off his alarm. He hated waking up at six o’clock in the morning to go to school, but it was necessary for him to do so to achieve his dream of becoming a pilot. Becoming a pilot seemed as impossible as walking on the sun right now, but John believed that with hard work, he could achieve his goal of becoming a pilot. In a joyful mood, he got ready for school. He brushed his teeth as quickly as he could because he was extremely hungry. As he finished brushing…

Every day for the last 6 months has been the same. Each beginning by walking across the road to the same old cafe. I now know all the cracks on the pavement and could easily make it through my day with my eyes shut. I walk straight past the counter without having to order, then sit in my usual seat by the window alone, take out my laptop and wait for my coffee. The only thing I have ever known to change is whether I am gazing at the sun, the rain or even occasionally snow through the cafe’s…

I have had an overall excellent experience in gym class this past semester. Over the past few months, I feel I have achieved a lot and achieved personal goals through time and perseverance. I feel I have improved dramatically in multiple aspects of my personal fitness and overall health. I really enjoyed the fitness days that, not only helped me stay physically active, but also cope with stress from other classes. Personally, I think that I have improved quite a lot this past semester and…

Ashley, a sophomore English major, was up late at night sitting in front of her monstrous Dell computer finishing a writing assignment for a Midterm Portfolio that would be due the next day. Having taken the last few days to work on her evaluation essay particularly, she neglected the reflection. She, like she shouldn’t have, waited last minute to write a reflection, and edit. Living on copious amounts of caffeine to keep herself awake was enough to work until two in the morning hit her. As she…

Since the last reflection, we’ve only had a couple of sessions at the Burkhart Center. In those two sessions, my group and I have seen tremendous changes in the kids in the best possible ways. We only have a few more sessions left and with the time we have left our goal is to get all the kids as comfortable as possible expressing themselves more openly or period. After having gone to the Burkhart center a few times now, the kids are engaging really well with us and the activities we plan for…

working for an amazing company downtown, and I met a lot of friends. However, my most favorite thing about my senior year was the long and arduous process of applying to colleges, and deciding where to go. It was an adventure that allowed me to pave the way for my current lifestyle. In my junior year, I started looking up on colleges that I want to apply to. Since I started this process I set my sights to one particular school: Meadows University. I remember my first time hearing about the…

I have never really known the true meaning of life. When I was younger I was reckless, so reckless that I wasn't afraid of anything. Breaking bones? I’d done it. I wasn't aware of how precious life was, I didn't care. However as life’s gone on I've changed, now I am extremely grateful for the life I have lived and the life I am living currently. I was taking life for granted. I'd do all these crazy things, not caring what people said or thought of me. I'm not going to lie, I felt great I…

Children in elementary schools; are not old enough, do not have a reason, and have not reached a level of maturity required, to have a cell phone. An eleven-year-old child is not ready for a cell phone. At this age, they do not have a reason or need for a personal cell phone. A child in this age range has not matured. Allowing a child in elementary school to have a personal cell phone is a mistake. Elementary School aged children are between the ages of five and eleven. At this point, they have…

Imagine this, a child in line for food at school. He's waiting and waiting. This child had no breakfast and is very hungry. Once he goes up to line he remembers what his parents told him. “You need to eat very healthy because you have a big soccer game today.” So this child looks for a salad, water, chicken, and rice. But once he looks at the “yummy” meals, instead of seeing his food ideas, the healthiest food he can find is pizza, chocolate milk, and fries. Well, this is not any kind, it's…
