The beauty of Make-Up I have always say that life is like the beauty of makeup sometimes it does not come up how you are expecting it to be, sometimes you feel very comfortable and sometimes you make mistakes that everyone else see and they give you weird looks, or talk about you, so you try to cover up your mistakes by doing something good, just like covering them up with concealer and you keep on trying to get better and better at your mistakes. Just like me when I was smaller my fear was to…

In the piece, “Pool Players,” George Rose paints in a style that at first glance appears to be almost abstract. But quickly, figures appear that give a sense of very intense movement. People are surrounding a pool table, leaning in for a shot, reaching out over the table, resting along the side, or straining over to see the result of pool balls colliding with one another. The view of the table is seen not at eye level or from above the pool table, but somewhere in between. For me, an entry…

I am interested in Social Work because I intend to help children feel welcome and safe in school. I recall my second year in this country, I had just graduated from elementary school. I kept numerous doubts and questions about middle school; I was worried that life would be like elementary school all over again for the next three years. As an immigrant who was experiencing an environment and language, I felt unwelcome in the elementary school. Everyone seemed strange to me. I did not have any…

Suzie McAfee was the biggest, meanest sixth-grader in Northlake elementary school. She stood taller than the schoolyard fence, and wider than the trunk of an oak tree. Her daddy is the town’s mayor and she's so rich she can “sue the socks off ya”. By her side, she has Stacy and Gracie Stewart, a.k.a. the twin towers, and a bunch of big six grade boys, including my older brother Caleb, known as the Dogs, at her feet. The Dogs do her every bidding in hopes of never getting their names on her “Hate…

that leading countries are using. The use of extended school hours for students who are in senior years and are committed to attending post secondary school education, using savvy and appealing learning techniques, having the same teacher throughout primary schooling and requiring 15 minute breaks during classes for high school students would dramatically improve our results and…

A line of students wrapped around the desks. Why are the other students even trying on this? This is so easy, why would they be worried? I cockily thought to myself while walking towards the line. I did not think that it would matter where I stood in line, so I smugly took my place behind everyone else. I was going to qualify for the spelling bee anyways. One year before, I had qualified for the Big Springs Spelling Bee, and finished in the top 6, the highest placing for a fourth grader. Among…

There have been a few changes in Centennial High School. What could’ve been changed? Besides the fact that the whole school being re-painted back in 2012-2013.

McCarty was impressed of how magnificent the lobby looked and loved that there was a T.V. hanging on the wall, by the entrance to the auditorium. McCarty shared, “The lobby is wonderful…

Fifth grade, it's the last hoorah of pure childhood before students are thrown into the shark tank known as middle school. The majority of my fifth grade memories are overwhelmed by one painfully awkward musical about The American Revolution so to get a fresh perspective, I talked to Lawson Oden. Lawson is eleven years old, in the fifth grade and is the youngest of five children. Lawson (among many other things) enjoys drinking tea, sporting fedoras, and playing the video game minecraft.…
