Love in This Club

I’m Avery Kaufman and I participated in many activities this year like debate, basketball, Film Production, Charlar en Español, Paws for a Cause, the school musical, and Beta Tutoring. My narratives highlight basketball, debate, and Paws for a Cause. In the second quarter of the 2016-2017 school year, I was a part of the girls’ basketball team. On the team I was the starting center, and played with nine other girls. This was my first time being a part of a Pine Crest School sports team, and I…

I was fourteen when I first discovered what it meant to be a volunteer; and I utterly despised it. Waking up bright and early Saturday morning to work without pay or compensation was such a bizarre idea to me because I did not understand why volunteers were always so cheerful and happy at early morning hours, when I in contrast, would have much rather been in the comfort of my bed fast asleep. But it did not take me long to succumb to the contagious chipper attitude -I was soon transformed into…

They came to Canada to find gold, like many other people are doing in this story. Hal and Mercedes do not have outstanding experience with commanding a sled team and eventually end up responsible for the death of many of the dogs. Hal has a short temper and takes his anger out on the dogs by beating them. Mercedes reminded…

that there 's an LGBT club that Luke and I joined. "So, how did you two meet?" Our new friend Lynsey asks as we sit down for lunch. "We 've known each other since we were in diapers." Luke smiles. "That 's so cute!" Lynsey shouts. We met Lynsey when we were signing up for our clubs. She 's the president of the LGBT club so she 's kind of taken us under her wing.…

the two of them. In the Excerpts Battle Hymn of The Tiger Mom by Amy Chua and Novel The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan, the mother-daughter relationships are slightly bitter. While Amy Chua uses more of a tense yet caring tone, Amy Tan has a hostile and harsh tone against her mother. Amy Chua uses a tense yet caring tone in The Violin to express how Chua and her daughter's relationship is based of off love even though playing the violin causes conflict between the two. There is a point of irony when…

My family and I moved to the U.S.A. in March of 2012. Although I knew almost nothing about the U.S.A at that time, I’ve managed to absorb American culture and taken it into my life. I became relatively fluent in English that I don’t have any trouble with daily life in here. In summer 2012, I decided to tryout for my school’s Cheerleading team and I was able to join their Varsity squad. Ever since, I’ve dedicated to every single position that I had. After 3 years of diligent work, I was…

Love Of The Modern Woman During the 20s it was an extraordinary time where “traditional women” had an important upcoming of self confidence, and self worth. Women before this upcoming were expected to do what men told them too, as men were seen to be at the top of society’s totem of superiority. The 20s were a time of change however, and not everyone thought this way any longer. As World War 1 made it apparent that women can play a larger role in our society, women picked up the slack back home…

According to Nevada Attorney Adam Paul Laxalt, “Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery impacting our most vulnerable populations” (Laxalt 1). Since 1994, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police department had recovered 2,229 people who were victims of sex trafficking. Both adults and children are targeted, however, mostly vulnerable women are targeted. In 2014, 107 children who were victimized by trafficking were recovered. “The National Human Trafficking Center Hotline has received 496…

centre of Sydney is a mere 19 kilometres away, making the work or play commute easy by vehicle or bus. When the locals aren’t working in the city, they are spending time with their families in one of the lush parks or playgrounds. Local retirees love this pristine little paradise where they can relax, enjoy retirement, play golf, and watch the local children play and grow up. It’s not unusual to see the residents of Belrose at one of the two shopping centres or at the beach, especially on the…

has always stuck with me is a love for music. I grew up listening to artist such as “The band,” “James Taylor,” “Dion and the Belmont’s,” Elvis Presley, and many others. With that said there was one group that was above all in my father’s eyes, and that group was the Beatles. My father absolutely adored the Beatles and especially one man in particular, Paul McCartney. Every day I would listen to the great songs produced by these four English man and my fathers love for the Beatles soon rubbed…
