Gabrielle

Debating has been an activity that is not widely known in high school due to a lack of popularity. Maybe it’s because no one can understand what the debaters are saying in their given amount of time. Everything is said so quickly in such a small amount of time (two minutes) that it is hard to understand the point. Spread, or speed-reading, is a style that is commonly used in high school debates around the country. Watching debate that adheres to this practice will likely bore a mainstream…

I’M THE MAN In August of 2002, I stepped on the campus of William G. Enloe Magnet High School with an unrealistic perception. Nike Air Force Ones, baggy jeans and long white tees were a staple in my daily attire. With 360 waves spinning around my head and a flip phone in my pocket, I used to say, “I’m the man.” Young and naive, I fell into a closed mindset that revolved around obtaining material things and satisfying the egos of family, friends and myself. Purchasing expensive clothes all were a…

Being Junior in high school means the impending fear and excitement (mostly fear) of college and moving on to the next chapter in life. My constant mental battle is figuring out if I want to remain in state to save my parents pockets and myself from impending debt. Why is that I have to sacrifice my preference of learning establishment for the sakes of money? College education in America is strenuous and expensive. Students are forced to worry first about their debts, scholarships, loans, and…

University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of French and Italian College of Letters and Science Many people say that I am a member of the generation X, born just before the war, in a country that was right in the process of falling apart. Not long after I first saw the light of day, my country has changed several times its name, its anthem, geographical layout and national identity. I was waiting in line in the arms of my mother to get some milk, I have survived an awful authoritarian regime,…

In today's world there is a big debate on what we should do with guns. Some think we should ban guns, or limit gun possession.
