The only thing you can do is just hope that the test stops to give you enough time to get back on your feet. I believe that people should never give up even when it gets hard…

When a man journeys into a far country, he must be prepared to forget many of the things he has learned, and to acquire such customs as are inherent with existence in the new land; he must abandon the old ideals and the old gods, and oftentimes he must reverse the very codes by which his conduct has hitherto been shaped. To those who have the protean faculty of adaptability, the novelty of such change may even be a source of pleasure; but to those who happen to be hardened to the ruts in which…

students without disabilities and are separated. For instance, why is it that students who have special needs have to go around the school to throw away the recycling, instead of taking another elective like other students do? The special ed students at Portage Northern have become so use to being separated from other students, it isn't a question for them to not be included in “normal” everyday schedules, like other students. From eating lunch at their own table, not being able to be in the…

Abraham Quote Abraham Lincoln's second quote has is a great quote. It tells us that Abraham wanted slavery abolished. The only problem with it is in today’s world some of that has gone away, but some of it has not been cleared today. The quote back then only meant one thing and that was it.
