weeks that would allow kids to relax more, have more time to do homework, and more time to study. We could save money on transportation with not having to drive to school five days a week and kids tend to pay attention more to school with that extra day of school off which can lead to better test scores and better grades. Think about it, do you really want your kids to be getting stressed about getting their homework done and not having any time to relax? Do you like having to buy gas to drive…

his studies of Logotherapy, Frankl stated that how people reacted to suffering was the most important choice they could make in the ordeal: “But in that moment I did succeed in changing his attitude toward his unalterable fate inasmuch as from that time on he could at least see a meaning in his suffering”(Frankl 113). To find purpose in suffering goes along with being able to forgive oneself and others. A person will endure suffering if they fail to forgive themselves. Without self-forgiveness,…

the most devastating series of events in American history, which led to the distrust of the government and loss of national pride in the military. Opposing views in the media would contribute to this legacy because it influenced attitudes that would lead to…

feel the need to be on the go all the time, there is always something going on in life. Although a child is always on the go, it’s not because the child has to be but chooses to be.

the medical field. Since my mid-teens, I have worked with machines to further the aims of the companies I have worked for. It has been satisfying for me because the challenges and puzzles I had to solve, and the enjoyment I derived from that. But as time passed, and I entered my mid-forties, I started to see a kind of complacency and dissatisfaction beginning to develop within myself. Fueled from boredom and a lack of meaningful challenges, and a growing lack of patience with some of my…

World renowned author, ethicist, and theologian Lewis B. Smedes once argued that , “The problem with revenge is that it never evens the score. It ties both the injured and the injurer to an escalator of pain. Both are stuck on the escalator as long as parity is demanded, and the escalator never stops.(Diederich)” Edgar Allan Poe’s The Cask of Amontillado highlights the sequence of events Montresor endures to enact revenge on Fortunato. Montresor believe that he has been wronged to the point of…

accomplished something. He was thinking, but at the same time he was relaxed. That is one of the benefits of being bored. Boredom is good for us because our brains need to take a break from activity. Sometimes when people are at work or school, they might say they are tired. Maybe it’s because their brains are tired from maybe reading or writing. Our brains can be overworked with all of the activity that is going on around you. They need time to just stop, think and recharge. When we are…

must be excited to do something other than be on a tablet playing the same game over and over again, “Writers have asserted that children today tend to spend less time in outdoor play, hobbies, sports, and creative activities than they did in former years” (Witty 109). We must encourage children to not be on technology so often and spend time outdoors with friends and family. It will actually help children be more social by surrounding themselves with people, instead of watching a TV show that…

In such a short amount of time I have been accomplished much through school, church, and extracurricular activities. In 18 years I have lived in three different houses, attended four different schools, and have become interested in theatre arts; I have been through many, many pets and witnessed the funerals of many family members; I have attended Governors School, one of the most prestigious things for a high school student to do; and have loved every minute. It is truly crazy for a person like…
