Hope That We Can Be Together Soon

the award winning editing team transformed Star Wars into the iconic film we have today. Together all of these factors made the story George Lucas had in his head into a living breathing reality on the screen and what a beautiful reality it was. The Star Wars story wouldn't be the legend that Star Wars is today without its lovable cast of characters. In film critic Roger Ebert’s words,…

always stays the same. Even though there are billions of soccer fields in the world, I always feel like I’m home. The green grass as a symbol for hope and growth. As soon as I step on the field and observe it, I get reminded on my personal growth and goals; goals and dreams which seem impossible to achieve, but the green in the grass tells me that there is hope and a reason to fight for it. Moreover, as my eyes…

The early settlers of America set out for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness... And isn’t that what we all want? We all want a good life-- whether it be an ideal job, a house, or someone to love. We all want freedom-- independence to do whatever we believe is right or moral. And lastly, we all want to be happy-- and this is whether we realize it or not. But sometimes you want something so bad, and with such passion... that you don’t even realize that it is already behind you. And that…

social isolation and prejudice and deprived from enjoying the equal rights promised to them by American constitution. America has failed to keep its promises made to Black people. Martin Luther King hopes that Negro, exiled in their own country, will get liberty and protection from racist society very soon. He stresses that the racial injustice weakens the base of America instead of strengthening it. So, he appeals his people that their movement shouldn’t be called off until their demands are…

where you end up on the political spectrum, I can see where people in our country would feel this way. Even though the divisions in our country seem overwhelmingly insurmountable, and sometimes feeling like a “United” States isn't even possible; America’s best days are still in front of us. People see the future of America as one filled with health advances, potent militarism,technology and military tactics, however the future is filled with so much more. We as citizens of America still have so…

I find myself dozing off during Mass but then chide myself. How can I be so wretched and unholy as to slumber in the presence of the Lord? As Mass closes, in unison all of the nuns and girls recite the Holy Prayer– “En el nombre del Padre, del Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo. Amén” (Lore 12). I stay back hoping to see Marina and talk to her about joining the convent since she is approaching 18. She rushes out of the church; off to paint, or search the internet. My vision becomes distorted and blurry…

felt like Lemonade conveys a lot of powerful people in the history of pop art, African American culture, and education. It conveys a story which I think many can relate to.” “Yes, I agree. And it has to or else the point of the whole thing isn’t there, right? Haha, I mean the issues that come up in the video are still issues today which people can relate to. And because of that, it’s a powerful key to motivate people to stand up for themselves and fight back!” “What was your process for making…

happy. I experienced pain I thought I would never get through. I would always use the word ‘Hope’ to help me get through the roughest days; when I was missing the whole family aspect others have. My father, Alexander and my mother Fiona were involved in their children’s activities. My family always did things like a family should: watch movies, be around each other, play games, and even eat dinners together. It was a great feeling, but then my parents got a divorce 5 years ago. They were always…

get together and create traditions for Christmas. Each family I know goes about the same traditions, but they add their own spin to them to make it their own. As the year progress and gets closer to Christmas, my family gets anxious waiting for the perfect time to begin our annual traditions. When the time finally arrives, my family and I do the same thing every year. For our family traditions, we decorate the tree together, we make holiday cookies, and we decorate the house outside. As soon as…

In the Lincoln’s speech I remember him saying, “Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.” This showed a change in his views that neither I nor the others around me expected to hear from him that day. The Gettysburg address also addressed the issue that everyone in the…
