I have a question for the government of Hawaii. Why do I and 100’s of homeschoolers have to fight for the right to be homeschooled, this should not be a problem right now we are moving backwards instead of forwards in the homeschool movement. My mom has gone through this fight once in Singapore years ago and now you’re making her go through it again years later with her last kid that’s homeschooled.Some people homeschool because they’re military and they move around a lot, others like my own…

Did you know that a giraffe’s heart is 25 pounds and 2 feet long? A giraffe has a black-blue tongue that is 16-18 inches and it is black-blue so it doesn't get sunburnt. They are pregnant for 15-18 months. Giraffes eat 75 pounds of leaves in a daily basis that is a lot of leaves! A baby giraffe called a calf is 6 feet tall just when it is born! Giraffes only have to sleep 30 minutes in a 24 hour period. The Giraffe is interesting because of when it lives, how it survives, and how it has been…

In Shrek, Lord Farquaad, the King of Far Far Away Kingdom, suffers from Napoleon Complex so he is short-in-stature. Shrek and Donkey continuously challenge his masculinity due to his height and they say things like “men of his stature are in short supply” (Zdeb 20). Another illustration is that Robin Hood, after singing and dancing womanly with his comrades, is disgusted by Shrek and Fiona as he seems effeminate. Characterizing Lord Farquaad and Robin Hood as laughingstocks, the movie amuses the…

the last Airbender.” I was so inspired by watching this show, just watching the characters doing crazy flips in the air ; it was an extravagant sight. My parents who would see me trying to perform such flips and karate techniques, decided it would be right for me to start taking karate classes. One day after school I was taken to a dojo about ten minutes away from my house, that’s where I met Sensei Bryan. Sensei Bryan was awesome. The first impression I have of him, is him and Sensei Angelo…

I recently sat down to watch, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," and thought it was very interesting. I thought it was cool how the movie focused on the power of a woman and martial arts. I believe the acting and relationship between the characters was showcased well and the talent of the individuals was obvious and entertaining to watch. This movie is all about the search for the magic sword, "Green Destiny," and the drama this stolen object leads to. After a warrior gives his sword, "Green…

Director David Leitch (“John Wick”, “Atomic Blonde”) and writers Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Ryan Reynolds considerably decreased my enthusiasm about Deadpool with this discouraging second installment of the Marvel Comics franchise. In 2016, Tim Miller (his next move is a reformulated episode of Terminator with Schwarzenegger) was more efficient in his approach, causing a positive impact with his depiction of the subversive anti-hero and drawing a legion of fans, who rejoiced with the…

constant 5 days a week for 5 hours a day, I had no time to do anything. The competition was getting more difficult and when traveling I was gone for to long. I enjoy my friends and coach, but I think I was done. I was 8 years old and I had just quit karate, but my mom wanted me to stay active. She drove to this place called Anchorage Gymnastics Association and asked me if I wanted to join. I remember seeing people fly really high in the air and climbing up the tall rope in the middle of the…

tire slid out from under me putting the dirt bike on top of my legs burning one of them on the jug (something that gets really hot on the motor.) I heard the engine rev out and turn off. Then my arm acted like it had a mind of its own and decided to karate chop it and that’s when it happened. Snap, my arm had broken from trying to get revenge for burning my knee. Then I pushed the dirt bike off my leg after I got the other one free. Then I ran up to my house, with my arm dangling, into the…
