because I would always come and check out books. Reading has always and will always be my strength. Reading is my strong point because, in elementary school, my teachers focused more on reading than writing. We would have weekly readings and prizes whenever we finished a book. Also, we would have to take tests…

required reading, I am always tempted to oblige. I remember being a third grader anxious to finish my homework and reading so I could go outside and play with my friends. However, unlike Azariah, my parents were extremely hands on and involved in my elementary school…

The measurements of our world strive to quantify the quality of our lives. The scales we use to measure ourselves and how we feel, fail to understand the concept of life itself. The tears of joy felt by a mother; the symphony of silence held by a survivor; the loudness of a murmur spoken as a prayer. Life is a composition, led by a melody, woven piece by piece, tied by our hopes and colored by our sorrows. Like darkness is the absence of light, pain is measured by the absence of happiness.…

Dyslexia is a disability of the brain. The disease causes the affected person to not be able to properly read and write. This happens because the brain mixes up and confuses letters. Each case is different in the letters, numbers, or words that get confused. Dyslexia can happen to anyone as it can be genetic or caused by certain environmental factors. It is, however, treatable, and I was lucky enough to be able to guide a close friend through her endeavor with the wordy beast. I never would have…

just liked any other educational institute. Pre-K- 8th Grade Uniform Dress Code School uniforms for the Dallas independent school district were put into effect in the year 2005. Uniforms are enforced for elementary and middle school students. Dress codes in the DISD are communicated by enrollment packets that are given to students at the beginning of the year and on the DISD website under code of conduct-dress code. Uniform guidelines specify that you…

The participants were all born in New York City and…

It all started in 2010 with my love for basketball. I was in elementary school in the 4th grade. After school we went to a after school program where we would get our homework done and to play outside for an hour a day. There everyday after school I would be able to play outside for an hour for 5 days a week. Soon I began to play basketball with my friends and found the game very interesting. I loved how people on the team all worked together to accomplish a common goal and how we were all as…

wonderful community with neighbors that care about their homes and other neighbors. We are extremely lucky to have Sangaree Elementary School and Sangaree Intermediate School located next to each other. However, this causes traffic problems as the schools begin and end at the same time, not to mention that Sangaree Middle School is just blocks away. The Sangaree Elementary School and Sangaree Intermediate School have had multiple pedestrian involved accidents which have lead to personal…
