children was destined to be a place where athletics thrived; although we never quite had enough kids for even teams. I had an interesting introduction to sports; when I was about one-year old, my parents moved my whole family from our home of Akron, Ohio to Manchester, Vermont, where we lived for six years while my family owned our own popcorn business. In Vermont I was exposed to many extreme sports such as skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobiling, while still being immersed in the New England…

What’s Behind the Mask? In a world full of so much injustice and hurt, it is no wonder we put on fronts and wear masks that ensure no one sees beyond the pretty smiles. In his poem, We Wear the Mask, Paul Laurence Dunbar uses powerful descriptions to deliver the message that people hide their pain and suffering from those around them.

I want to go to the College Of Wooster because on the multiple tours I’ve gone on I’ve felt like i’m at home. The college isn’t too big or too small, it’s the perfect size.

After my research for colleges the college that will best suit me is Adelphi University.
