I have had some of the most incredible moments of my life at concerts. Seeing bands you love live and in person can make you love the band even more. Jumping around and singing to the lyrics is infectious and you feel as though the people around you are your family. They all love the band like you do, know all the lyrics like you do, and cheer loudly like you do. When the band’s lyrics are very inspirational or have helped you through a hard time, going to their live show is especially…

“Teachers, please release the students going on the honor roll field trip now, thank you,” the school’s intercom spoke outside and in our classroom. I knew I was on the honor roll list, but I didn’t get my permission slip signed. However, for whatever reason, I thought that I could go without it being signed. I started to exit my seat, but my friend told me no. She told me she wasn’t sure if we needed the permission slip or not, but she said that it’s safer to not go. I just smiled at her…

The Watergate Break-In 1972 was a very eventful year in America. Republican President Richard Nixon was running for re-election. Most importantly, the United States was embroiled in the Vietnam War. This harsh political environment prompted the need for a forceful political campaign. It seems as if President Nixon would stop at nothing to be re-elected. It was just after midnight on July 17 when the office of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate Complex in Washington, D.C. was…

His teacher assigns him several homework assignments weekly. Witnessing him proves to me how harmful homework can be, especially if the teacher assigns it so carelessly. I think he has three varying worksheets per week, at least one worksheet of cursive practice and reading log requirements. He sits in his room crying from frustration often. He begs my mother to not make him do it and always puts it off until the last minute. He hates homework and until this year he never really had a big…

Mina Harker’s Diary 6 November. -- It has been ten years since Quincey Morris died, but I still dream of that frightful day. The nightmares are a nightly occurrence these past weeks. Every time I close my eyes, I see the red glowing eyes of the Count watching me. Jonathan tells me I wake him up screaming about bats and blood, but I have no memory of these events. Jonathan Harker’s Journal 10 November, midnight. -- Mina wakes around this time nightly; however, when confronted, she has no…

the one above, and it should be the schools responsibility to make sure they are well prepared and educated to successfully handle these types of situations. Students generally learn a lot of things while in school such as, simple math, spelling, cursive,…

In John Steinbeck’s seminal novel Of Mice and Men, the nomadic farmworker George laments about finding work in the Great Depression, saying, “Guys like us…are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family. They don 't belong no place…They ain 't got nothing to look ahead to.” This somber reflection of the era conveys the hopelessness that afflicted millions in this country. Even President Roosevelt, lauded as America’s savior, did little more than put a dent in unemployment numbers that…

would take my older sister’s books that did not have any pictures and pretend to read them, coming up with my own fantastical plots and imagining that was the story written in the book. I would also pretend to write my own stories by scribbling “cursive” on the pages of my old notebooks. In first grade my teacher, Mrs. Stumph, would allow me to read her Junie B. Jones books to the class. Sometimes, she would even let me read my own books aloud instead. Even though I…

I had a pretty typical life before it happened. I lived with my father and my 7-year old brother in the suburbs. The only interesting thing that has happened to me was my mother’s disappearance. It happened a few years ago, we all just woke up one day and she was gone without a trace. Nobody, not even the police, could figure out what had happened. It was a strange coincidence, because the same thing had happened to my grandmother as well. I had an idea of where she went, though. It all…
