Day care

dreams and forget to live.” Often, when summer comes around, many kids begin to dream about summer camp. Some of those kids actually get to live those dreams like I did, at Camp Widjiwagan, this summer. It was one week of a Harry Potter themed, outdoors day camp. Camp Widjiwagan was one of the best camps I’ve been to complete with fun and new learning experiences from the new and different people, to all the activities they had, to my overall outcome at the end of the week. One of the new…

Electoral College Vs. National Popular Vote The recent 2016 presidential election, has caused the population to question the electoral college, more than it ever has before. Those who disagree with the electoral college have propelled the National Popular Vote (NPV), a movement that started in 1969. Although many disagree with the electoral college, the vast majority do not truly understand its purpose, and even less know who or what it is composed of. The lack of knowledge about the electoral…

breathe. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t breathe. The black scarf blinded me. They all laughed at me, they haunted my dreams, they filled my head with meaningless words as I crawled, barely on my knees, my lungs wanting to give out for those brief days when everything was hurting me. They hated me. I was drowning in thin…

Today is the day that my team and I had been working on all season. It’s competition day. Now this year I feel we have a good chance. We have been practicing non-stop from the sun up to sundown; there was no such thing as downtime. We had an awesome dance routine and one of the best crowd-pleasers around. But to top it off we had a killer stunt at the end that was sure enough going to win us first place. “Alright, ladies. It is time for everyone to get up and get dressed.” My coach said as…

hand he does not like. Christopher had a timeline of everything he did in a day, and the exact time he did them. Part of that timeline was his morning ride into school. One the way to school christopher counted the car he passed and their colors. Christopher determined if he saw five red cars in a row it was going to be a good day. However, if he saw four yellow cars in a row, it was going to be a black day. A black day means he doesn’t allow himself to eat anything, and he doesn’t speak to…

It Abby wishing me a Happy Father's Day. I already know that she is the only one of the 3 we raised that will call today. Abby shows up every Father's Day fairly early in the morning and we watch the The Princess Bride. Abby and I have been watching The Princess Bride since it came out. If either of the other two call today, it will be because…

British rule in Burma through John Flory by having Flory detest the imperial rule, yet have him also feel caught up in the riptides of the imperial movement as though he must go on with it or face being isolated from everyone else around him. In Burmese Days, when thinking about his fellow Englishmen’s culture during a conversation with Dr. Veraswami, John Flory thinks to himself, “Dull boozing witless porkers! Was it possible that they could go on week after week, year after year, repeating…

Plan of Investigation Who is Eve Ensler? How did she tell the truth? How has her truth made an impact on our society? How is that impact felt today? There is a tremendous amount of information online about her work and the truth she has told to the public media over the years. I plan to research these questions by reading articles, watching videos on sites such as YouTube.com, and watching Eve Ensler’s TED talks to gather information about her. I also plan to read her play and possibly watch…

Driven by loneliness, the creature seeks a companion so as to finally feel accepted which would supposedly stop his hatred towards society and impulses of revenge. Possibly Frankenstein owes him this as most of the blame of this gloomy story can be placed on his shoulders. He did abandon his creation from his birth and did nothing to stop the creature from going out into the world alone. Untaught and abandoned, the creature did try to be good, but his creator could possibly be blamed for his…
