My love for reading and writing began at a young age, although, it was short lived. When I was in elementary school, I always looked forward to writing stories in my journal about the various topics my teacher created. I learned to read and write by sitting at a table in my living room, tracing the letters of the alphabet on a small piece of paper, and trying my best to pronounce the foreign letters in front of me. Reading has made me into the person I am today by allowing me to have many…

instance, on the south side of the railroad, the Palomares Elementary School was established for the Mexican and Mexican-American children to attend, while in the north side of the railroad, the Lincoln Grammar School was established for the white children. However, not only was the school buildings themselves were segregated, but the education that the children received was also unequal. As mentioned by a student who attended Palomares Elementary School, “As I asked my mother and aunt, they…

most Stafford Elementary School was not just a six-year stomping ground that I moved on from. For me it has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. When I was little I was dragged around by my mother to every PTA event. Then when I was five I finally started kindergarten and somehow never left. While I was in school I had some of the most amazing teachers and made friendships that have lasted to this day. There is no way I could pick just one memory from stafford elementary. It…

Thinking back to when I first started to learn how to read and write is actually pretty difficult. The first time I ever picked up a book, and it actually meant something to me was when I was probably around the age 2. Those books of course were most likely books about shapes, colors, animals, and other simple books that spark interest in a child. I first began to learn how to read shapes, colors, objects, numbers, animals, and so on. A few years after that my mom started to read me more…

My fourth grade teacher's name was Mrs. Shafer, I remember that she loved science and we always learned neat science facts in her class. I remember that her favorite color was orange and she wore something orange everyday. I also remember that one of the school days, I tried to help fix the stapler and I accidentally stapled my finger and it hurt really bad but I was too shy to say anything, so I just stood there with a staple in my finger until Mrs. Shafer noticed and told me to go to the…

Living in Hudson isn’t half bad. Then again it’s not bad at all. It’s probably one of the best places in the midwest to grow up. Besides living in Florida or California where it’s always warm and sunny, Hudson is closest to the best. I don’t know much about South Africa, but I bet their living conditions are subpar compared to Hudson. I go to the parks and walk the streets and people say hello and are very friendly. I don’t know if that’s the way South Africa and Nelson Mandela’s life was…

Einstein division in St. Louis. These accomplishments look rewarding in a trophy case, however the impact of Team Titanium goes much deeper than this. Many of our significant accomplishments happen miles away from the driver's station; it begins in elementary classrooms and community centers.…
