One sunny day I woke up and thought it is cheer tryout day. Today would be the most exciting and scary day of my life. I slowly got out of bed and got ready for school. When I got to school Kamry and Autumn was already there, they were really nervous also. We sat and talked about how we are really scared to try out that day and how we knew the dances and stuff. Then Allie got to school. We all talked about how nervous we were and how we were telling each other that they were going to…

Feeling Truly Educated Most teachers just give you a textbook and some notes about that certain subject or unit and then expect you to know it for the quiz or test. But that's not the case with most students, they have to get all the attention of that subject, talk it out with other students get their feedback of what they learned, or even connect the subject with what they love. Which is exactly how I truly learned. Biology 1 and Biology 2 was not my favorite subject nor my best subject in…

Anish Singhal 17364 1. I often closed myself to God, doubting his ability when experiencing pain and suffering. Whenever I would be going through a dark moment in my life, I would often blame God for not loving me. Kairos helped me discover the truth of God, showing me that bad things are when we need God the most and must not doubt His plan. Always thought that since I turned myself off to God, God would do the same. Kairos showed me that God never turns His back on us. In my life, God is a…

I was planning on saving this message for the end of the session, but I think this is the best time to send it. I am contacting you to tell you how I am feeling about this season, especially recently. I do not want to talk to you one on one because last time I tried nothing changed. Last time I talked to you you kind of talked around the subject, pushing the blame on other less related topics, and after trying my best to improve on the one area you told me to I feel like everything is just…

Nat, I am lying in bed writing you this letter cause I love you so freaking much and am so excited you are coming to the U. I have missed seeing you and talking to you everyday. I just can’t wait to be in the same vicinity. Whether I see you everyday walking to class or once a month I am so so happy we will be close by. Seriously, I think my mom is getting sick of hearing about how happy I am that we will be at the same school. Anyway, I cherish our friendship so much and want it to be strong…

Radio and television/film certainly had a huge impact on the rise of rock and roll. Perhaps if technology hadn’t advance different music styles would still remain regional. As the radio era had allowed cultural diffusion since each region had a slightly different variety of music than the next. When radio stations started broadcasting nationally, it influenced the rise of different styles of music. Instead of only being exposed to the type of music near them; people could now hear variations of…

On December 7th, at 7:30pm, I attended It’s A Wonderful Life, A Live Radio Play. Illinois State University’s adaptation of this classic film took place in the Center for the Performing Arts. The actors took the stage as members of a 1940s radio show, playing a multitude of characters depicted in the original film. Although vastly different from the cinema version, this adaptation was very successful due to the congruous 1940s costumes, the use of varied voices to portray numerous characters, and…

In this article, Umberto Rossi examines Philip K. Dick’s A Scanner Darkly and Radio Free Albemuth and questions their classification as dystopian literature. According to Rossi, a great deal of Dick’s writing can be categorised as “dystopian”, since they describe “other societies that are worse than ours”, and cites that the most probable depictions of Dick’s dystopian imagination are those mentioned in the title. However, he argues that even they are not examples of definitive “dystopias”.…

Introduction I originally was going to interview a girl from Singapore for this paper, but I had to go back home and I was not able to talk with her after all. So while I was back in my home town I interviewed a girl I went to school with, and for the sake of the paper I am going to refer to her as Sally. Before interviewing Sally I knew how our physical appearances differed, but I didn’t realize how culturally different we were. Understanding Others Sally is different from me in number of…

Exactly 17 months and 15 days ago, I left my siblings behind in Springfield, Oregon to move all the way to Flint, Michigan. At the time, Emylee, my sister, was only 7 and Trevon, my brother, was 9. After we moved out here, I met my mom’s boyfriend’s children, Whitney, Logan, and Jacob. Whitney was the oldest, at 20, Logan was the same age as me, 15, and Jacob was 12. I was slightly weary of them at first, I was a little bitter with having to leave my family behind for this new one, but I grew to…
