Love in This Club

After the adoption of my sister, we discovered a culture camp by the adoption agency not only my two sisters were adopted from, but my mother also. I first became a camper at this culture camp in the third grade. I loved spending time with other campers, teen counselor, and teachers. A couple of years later now in the seventh grade, it was time to go from a camper to a teen counselor, I now had the chance to be a teen counselor, like the counselors I had. It wasn’t easy becoming a counselor, for…

On Friday, April 13th at 8 pm, I went to go see a production of Heathers. This production was put on by the Berklee musical theater club and took place at the Boston Center for the Arts' Plaza Theater located at 539 Tremont Street in Boston. The theater itself was a black box, which I found interesting because I have never seen a show, especially a large well known show, be put on in such a small space. The stage itself was in the middle of the room and had no curtains. The pit of musicians from…

sure what I wanted to become. I’ve always been curious; I like knowing how things work and why they work. I’d tinker with a computer or take toys apart to fix them or simply for fun. As time and I grew on, things haven’t changed very much. I still love figuring out how things work, and learning about technology. Once in middle school, I dreamed of having a career that would make me six figures. But, as I transitioned into high school, I realized that just choosing a high paying job would not…

Discotheques 1974 thru 1981, arguably, originated in the underground gay clubs of New York. it is said Disco is dead, but the music lives on in the hearts of many. As a generation of individuals, the homosexual community identified with disco as a means of escapism and expression. There they could dance and mingle with out the judgement of hetero America. The Village people with the very popular “Y.M.C.A”…

participate? Do you work? No, I currently do not have a job, but hopefully by junior year I will be able to get my work permit. I am, however, a member of Key Club, and hopefully this semester, CSF. Volunteer opportunities through organisations like Key Club, and CJSF/CSF have shown me to show compassion to others, something that made me fall in love with healthcare careers. 4. How would you rate your academic performance at Oakmont so far? How can the academy help you improve or continue your…

senses. They believed that this knowledge comes from intuition and imagination. They set aside facts and common sense for ideas and imagination. Through this imagination, they saw all things as beautiful and all life as interconnected. The transcendentalists taught that when someone thinks in categories of time, space, and causation, it hurts them. Imagination allows us to lift our souls above the conflicts and struggles of the world. When looking at the world in this way, we see it as…

still: I am lying in wait.” This is a line sung by Aaron Burr in the song ‘Wait For It’ from Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical Hamilton. When I first heard the cast album to Hamilton I was attending community college, and I constantly felt like I was stuck. I was out of high school, but still living with my parents, while most of my friends had gone on to four-year universities and moved on their lives. I was at this strange point in my life where I felt like I was stuck in this odd purgatory kind…

hunting clubs all virtually have the same ideas. These ideas are based particularly on dog abuse, trespassing by both dogs and hunters, and the reckless behavior some hunters possess. As rural communities continue to grow in population and more out of state land owners move in, the problems with dog hunting seem to grow as well. The citizens outside of dog hunting see all of the negative actions that are brought about. The only way that the outside people can think…

possible art classes that were available and would fit my schedule. I also began to get more in involved in after school clubs such as the National Art Honor Society and the SmART Club where we did several art projects every week. On my last year of high school I decided to challenge myself and I took AP Studio Art: Drawing Portfolio. Compared to all my other art classes in school, this class gave me more freedom while creating pieces all from the medium I wanted to use and…

have had the pleasure to get involved with many community initiatives while in Winnipeg as well as after moving to Kamloops. For many years I was involved with Manitoba Theater for Young People, as well as participating in my high school’s musical theater program and Spring Production. While in Winnipeg I was a member of the social justice group Just Cause and organized many fundraisers and campaigns, such as our initiative to build a school in Kenya. Moreover, I would regularly volunteer at…
