It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Even though it’s been many decades since I was a young child, my bum remains sore from all the time spent sitting on the unpadded oak benches that populate many rural churches, most of those churches being Baptist, or a derivative thereof. And as psychologists have shown, it’s these early childhood years in which our basic personality is formed, “We remain recognizably the same person … it does follow us wherever we go across time and contexts.” (Nave as cited by livescience.com 2010). Our…

male roles and only twenty percent female roles. And, of course, of those female roles, most will be young women. That leaves us middle-aged ladies operating with a bit of a handicap. But I don’t focus on that because ultimately, I believe that there are enough roles out there for any actor who’s willing to do the work required to succeed: be patient, be persistent, be prepared even at a moment’s notice, and most importantly, be grateful for every audition, callback and booking you get.…

literally alone. My identity had been my constant companion, but here, there was no place for the events that shaped me. For years, the very basis of who I was depended greatly on an abusive relationship, and the emotions that came with it. It took me years to even realize that that relationship even had been abusive, years to discover that emotional abuse leaves its mark for a long time. I used that mark to shape who I was, but not in a ‘strong, empowering female’ way. But in Ireland, that…

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's property. A simple commandment has not been more drastically disobeyed than here in the United States. The United States of America, after its years of forced labor, pains of global warfare and serious of contractions of the American people, birthed the spawn of death to this nation's values: Consumerism. At its full adulthood in the 1960’s this Gahimeth of Greed and Self-interest,makes all the nation succumb and bow to this figures Idol. But three wise…

I know its just the second weekend for new movies in 2018, but my guess is that we may be hard pressed to find a film more charming and endearing this year than Paddington 2. Days after seeing the film, I am still smiling, chuckling a bit even, and hoping the movie makes all the money it can. The original Paddington grossed nearly $270 million worldwide and earned two BAFTA nominations for Best British Film and Adapted Screenplay and a mutual consensus formed between critic, audience, and…

Another reason I like Pilot Grove is because all of the teachers are nice and most of the students. I have many strengths and weaknesses. My strengths are sports and I am pretty smart. Some of my weaknesses are cooking and I am not very good at cutting or taping. I am very excited to be a middle schooler and can’t wait to see what the year brings me. I have a wonderful family, I have a sister named Chloe that is 14 years old and a mom and dad that I both live with. I also have 2 dogs and 1 cat.…
