In secondary one, many of us are nervous to be going to high school and being with others that we weren’t necessarily with in elementary school. For me, though, it wasn’t the case; most of the graduating class from my elementary school also came to my high school. I was in a special program, The Accelerated Learning Program, with 29 other students from all over Laval. There were three others that came to my elementary school who were also in the program, one of them being my best friend now. The…

Hsi Hsi is going to school in America for the first time in his life. He is going to Stone Mountain Middle School.

It is Hsi Hsi’s first day of school, it is also his first middle school in the Unites States. Stone…

My concussion had ruined me. Returning to school at the end of my eighth grade year after missing three months was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I was removed from school the week before Thanksgiving, and returned the week of Valentine 's day. During that time I spent my days resting in a dark room with the only light coming in through the small space inbetween the curtains. The pain was constant, everything made it worse. The sound of a vacuum cleaner downstairs, the cars passing by…

Billie Jean King once said “Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose- it teaches you about life”. Being part of a sports team, we experience competitiveness, commitment, and perseverance; being involved in something that requires us to compete in these situations teaches us success, dedication, leadership, failure, and hard work. The more we grow as a person, the more we realize that not only can those qualities…

Fatigue has been linked to well over two hundred and fifty fatalities reported by major air carriers, not including general or experimental aviation according to the FAA. There is no doubt that fatigue played a major role in the crash of Bombardier DHC-8-400 operated by Colgan Air, Inc. the NTSB started aircraft accident report 10-01 in early February 2009. Bombardier DHC-8-400 tail number N200WQ flight 3407 was approaching Buffalo-Niagara International Airport. During the instrument approach,…

What Beast Should I Become? There comes a point in life in where we have to make the most astronomical decision of our young lives. What college will we choose to attend? This question is entirely more complex than some of our young minds can fathom. Here is the biggest opportunity of our lives. Our opportunity to travel to new places, meet new people, and an opportunity for our social lives to explode. With all this excitement that lies ahead what are we waiting for? Indecisiveness, we do not…

Softball What started out as a men’s football game in Chicago, Thanksgiving day of 1887, lead to the greatest women’s sport, softball. At the end of the Yale football game, brooms were being used as “bats” to hit boxing gloves that were being thrown. There may be a lot of women’s sports, but what makes softball the best of them all? Is it because it was a sport that generated from one of the manliest sports? Or was it because of how it has changed tremendously throughout the years? Years ago…

Problems Encountered The 1st phase of CA-ESD which is 8-month long has already passed 6 months. By now we were supposed to start the final implementation of the General Capacity Development Module on Climate Change and finish it within the rest 2 months. But we are facing a number of challenges for which we are waiting for the pilot test for more than last 2 months. As a result, the 1st phase of the project is lagging behind for about 2 months. Problem-1: School’s Annual Exams, Vacations, and…

Why Technology? Technology has become one the greatest innovations in the world today. Maybe the real question should be whether or not it is helping with the teaching and education of society today. Technology is readily used in most schools today including elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools. However, it may not be all that it is cut out to be; corrupting youth and classrooms all over the world. Students are more tempted to cheat, slack-off with school work, play video games…

Step one of the chain involves a mix of biomechanics and physics. The player has more strength to lift, carry, and move baseball bat. The ease of the baseball bat operations for the player on anabolic steroids results in the faster swing because it becomes easier for him to do that. It can be compared with the tossing of a lightweight Nerf ball between a five-year-old child and and adult. The adult has more power so that he will throw the ball further and will not feel the weight of it in his…
