Nathan Bedford Forrest High School

I’ve been writing forever. I did it all the time when I was a little kid (little, because I technically still am a “kid”); I began with animal-centric fables and eventually graduated to ten-pagers about kids with magical forests behind their houses. Even when I wasn’t writing, I was expressing in that same practiced way; I lectured imaginary audiences while making my bed and brushing my teeth every morning. The internal monologue never stopped, and neither did the laugh track; writing it down…

Middle School, I was happy but also very anxious. Although, Middle school was awkward, I had made so many memories with many of the people I had met along the way. My dream high school was the very high school where my sister…

Education is something everyone goes through to some extent, no matter where you live or what you make, but further investing in it could be a challenge. From 2003-2013, college costs have skyrocketed by 79%, while inflation was up only 27%. However, since the start of our nation, education was thought to be a fundamental part of our society for the welfare and protection of the general public. The Land of Ordinances of 1785 was when Congress did not have the power to raise revenue by direct…

I got all of my school work finished, but not to the best of my ability. My social life became corrupted. People didn 't understand why I became so mean. People do not understand, alongside the teachers as well. Many would think that teachers are always there for your…

Looking back, I realized that high school wasn’t as bad as I thought. Sure I had really bad days, but all of the good ones made up for it. I did Polynesian Club for two years; my freshman year and my senior year. I regret not dancing throughout high school, but I’m glad I still got to do it my senior year. It was mostly because I was already involved with theatre. I had been participating in theatre my entire four years, and I loved it. I loved acting and building the sets for the plays. I had…

in God and how it was weak and then was strengthened. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always went to a private institute for my education. I was born and raised as a Christian and became a part of the Catholic church in 4th grade at St. Finbar School. I never took Christianity seriously when it came to being a Christian. Going on retreats, going to service, praising the Lord, and going to bible study small groups did not help strengthen my faith nor did it help me keep my faith. Back when I…

“What college are you attending this fall?” “Do you have an idea what you’re majoring in?” Questions that almost every senior in high school came across; by teachers, other students, and even their family members. As graduation gets closer that’s when it starts to all become real, I applied for COD and realized that this is when I need to find the path that will lead me to a career I will want to do for the rest of my life. The reason I am going to college is to get the education and…

Annique Walters “There’s nothing in life like finally being legal.” All my life I had been waiting for this magical day where I would finally turn 18. They say that turning 18 is the biggest turning point in your life but my experience tells me everything stays exactly the same. I thought that turning 18 would been so much more freedom. In reality it actually turned into less freedom and ten times more responsibility. Turning 18 literally feels like I’m in a tug of war. My parents still have…

about it and correct the problem. I catch myself many times saying that to my friends or coworkers. When they read an email or writing I sent out. Tip number two “study the basic rules of writing” (Bethel University, 2015). Many of us have been out of school…

a better understanding of what women really want and should have for their hair. To become be a hairstylist on the side in the near future, hasn’t been easy. But it has developed my way of thinking what’s best for my own good. Back in Jr. high, when blue polo shirts was required to be worn for 8th graders. Before ending the day,my last period was…
