When you are on your teenager years a person only think of one thing and that’s you, yourself, and you again. That’s what I had on my mind before going to this marvelous trip, but how I saw my future before I went, and how I saw it when I came back and were very different. How could a mere and inoffensive family trip…

out to be one of the most fun things I have ever done. I’ve never flown over the ocean before so with my imagination I thought of many outrageous things that could go wrong. We had two flights, one from Chicago to Atlanta and another from Atlanta to Nassau. Our first flight didn’t go to well, I was sick at the time so my head was congested which made the popping in my ears unbearable. When we got to the airport we went to go get some food, we were starving. Since the Atlanta airport is so…

The Islanders did something they have never done in their storied history last night at Madison Square Garden. By defeating their rivals, the New York Rangers, 4-1, they swept the season series (3-0-0-1). An accomplishment that honestly, probably means more to the fans than the players.

quiet and peaceful, just north of Jacksonville, Florida. My county has great schools, a high graduation rate, and a relatively low crime rate. I am content with my area and the great colleges and hospitals we have access to in Jacksonville. My county, Nassau, boasts about its beaches and excellent school system. Although I am happy with living in my community and my country, both share a common issue: drugs. Drug abuse is rising and affecting various people, including students in high school.…

“Progress looks like a bunch of failures and you're going to have feelings about that because it’s sad but you can’t fall apart. And then one day , you will succeed.” (Grey’s Anatomy) A brilliant quote that I take to heart because I am blessed with all the opportunities that have been given to me despite my past failures,lack of motivation and confidence.
