Primary education

Around the end of eighth grade, I noticed that my voice was changing. I couldn’t scream like a little girl because no matter how much I tried no voice would be produced. I would wake up every morning doing a simple check, saying the alphabet to make sure my voice was “my voice”. One day, suddenly my voice could go deep, it felt like an alternate considering how much I still could do with my “original” pitched voice. I kept my discovery from everyone, even my friends, and also family at the…

As a child I always envied the pretty girls that had a group of friend with them all the time I wanted to be just like them in every way, but little did I know my life in school would be nothing like that. All throughout my life, I 've been bullied. From the time I stepped foot in a elementary school to when I graduated high school. Or to go back... When I was in kindergarten, the class choices were am and pm. I had a am class. On my first day, I was in a big classroom. This…

Do you remember when you were a little kid and you had to climb on your counter-top to reach a cabinet? I remember it as if it was yesterday, maybe because it really was. All my life I have been dramatically smaller than all my peers. I have always been ostracized for the fact of my height which, in fact I have no jurisdiction over . I have always lived by the motto “Heart over height” in every aspect of life, and in every endeavor I encounter. My personality/drive/motivation all was…

Be Kind, and Be Yourself Has anyone ever told you that your name doesn’t matter? Has anyone ever told you to move to a different country because of your race or religion? Has anyone ever told you to change? I am Rusna Sangha, and I have been told horrible things about myself that no one should ever have to hear. It started off with students. I was in kindergarten at Robert J. Burch Elementary School. We were cleaning up after a class activity when a girl came up to me. She said this: “You’re…

MP2: Food Service funding in Washington State Elementary Schools Former President of the United States John F. Kennedy once said, “Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.” However, what happens when we don’t nurture the future of America? When we let boys and girls fall trap to believing that coming from a low income area means their futures are bleak? In order to cultivate inspiring and change-seeking innovators for our future, we must care for their…

In third grade, a boy named Blake - a notorious troublemaker - would chase every girl during class trying to kiss her on the lips. Most of the girls gave in eventually. It was easier to give in than to keep running. When it was my day to be chased, I turned to him, grabbed his glasses off his pudgy face, and stomped on them in front of all the kids on the blacktop. He ran to the principal's office and cried. At that time, it was okay for a girl to do that and normal for boys to cry. In sixth…

I always knew that I was different and that certain things about my body looked different. However, I never knew that one would cause major health and medical problems for me. When I started puberty in about 7th grade, my sternum started to change. It was deformed and went inwards instead of being flat. My family and I never thought it was a big deal. My brother, Connor, also had the deformity. We just thought it was odd that we both had it and nobody else in our family had it. As high school…
