Is Disney the Fairest of them all? Once upon a time, Disney was founded. With it came a whirlwind of sparkles, glitter and ball gowns. From Princesses and Princes, to the evil villain and their team, Disney has it all. But… “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, is Disney the fairest one of all?”.

However recent releases from the company have quietened the outrage by many…

Coming into my senior year at Scranton Prep, I knew that I wanted to major in the medical field. I was so convinced that I wanted to major I physical therapy, but I changed my intended major to Pre-PA. When I was applying to colleges, I did not have my “reacher” school. I just applied to college and universities where I thought that I had a legitimate shot of being accepted to. Nonetheless, I did not want to apply to Marywood. The statistic of Marywood being “the most depressed school in the…

person is doing to themselves or others, and reading it as a prayer out loud, and as I am reading, I am also feeling and putting intention out to “freeze” that person’s actions or harm that they are doing, put it into a plastic baggie, seal it, and stick it in the freezer with the intention of helping that person to stop harming themselves or others.

Organ donation after death should be encouraged There are people dying out every day. In China, we can find that in 2016, there were 9.77 million people died (National Bureau of statistics of the People’s Republic of China).

Hormones can be defined as molecular signals, which are produced in small amounts by one…

This year in English 10H has allowed me to hone and improve my reading and writing skills. With this class, I have been able to be challenged far more than I would have had I not chosen to stick with an honors class. My writing has improved leaps and bounds over the course of the year due to the large amount of papers we wrote that covered vastly different subject matters. The first paper we wrote to start off the year was a thesis essay based on an independent novel that we read over the summer…
