Ten years ago, the city of Chicago, Illinois, made a bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. Although they came close to victory, the International Olympic Commission (IOC) awarded the hosting rights to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, while Chicago was knocked out in the first round of voting (“Rio to host 2016 Olympics,” 2009). It was a memorable win for South America as Rio became their first city to ever host an Olympics. In contrast, Chicago’s loss left its own inhabitants with some mixed…

Chicago is a beautiful, but broken city. The many museums tell the history of so many places in time but hide the fact that children in public schools are failing at an increasing rate. Navy Pier is walked down thousands of times a day, but people avoid neighborhoods with boards and bars on the windows. Thousands travel to Chicago to witness a Cubs baseball game, but no one speaks out on who shot a child during a drive-by shooting. Chicago is a great city for tourists to view the city, but a…

Boy Scouts was initially something that I never truly expected to enter my life. The most exposure I had of it was cartoonish representations that I would see in the funnies section of the newspaper or spoofs of the organization in my daily cartoons. This all changed when my friend one day invited me over to one of the weekly meetings. I was a little scared at first, a group of people I didn’t know was frightening to my middle school self. But for some reason; I’m not sure now if it was the…

It was many years ago that I found myself to be away from home the first time. I was a cub scout then and was super nervous. I was always super cautious and wary of dangers hiding behind the corner. I thought that something would jump out and scare me, or drag me to my doom.

Home made me feel safe, and in those days camping tended to make me uneasy due…
