At Clackamas High School in Portland, Oregon, the school I attend, counselors and teachers offer a variety of foreign language courses to teach the culture and dialect. Students may take up the opportunity to achieve a minor or major in a foreign language, because they have a passion for it. Martin Espada and Richard Rodriguez, two men who grew up with bilingual hardships, portray the significance and passion they feel for bilingualism in their essays. Both authors base their support upon real…

The sound of a weapon that snatches the life of an innocent person. The worry of a mother to knows that his son will not return home. The tears of the children when they saw how the soldiers kill innocent people. It would be better if we decide to change the racial hatred for the compression, the luxuries for humility, the missiles for helping the people who live in poverty. All these terrible things we can prevent by means of a passive dialogue. Consecutively, one of the worst conflicts in the…

On my first day observing her class, I soon gathered that Ms. Spencer always has a…

“Sure bro, I’ll pick you up on Friday for Zumba!” Said Ruben. Little did I know that meeting Ruben would open doors to things that I have never seen before. Meeting him seven months ago at an Ice Skating Rink would change my life forever. Meeting him taught me both that I should branch out to meet new people, and that I should watch who I become friends with. The day I went to the Ice Rink, was a chilly one.
