Even though they are open about their faith, the band continues to sneak like a hacker through the world’s…

tuition and airfare of the program was worth it. I don't give up on a goal simply because there isn't money to achieve it; I just work harder to make it happen. I never missed a meal, but when I was very young, I remember my diet mostly consisted of ramen noodles, cereal, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. However, my mom has always shielded us from financial troubles. When I was around 12, I began to ask her questions like, "how much do we pay for rent" and "how much money do we get from…

early morning study sessions trying to cram all the information for the big test the next day, to running around all day all over the campus to get to classes or trying to decide if one should splurge on a pizza for dinner or stick to good old Top Ramen. Now for student athletes, add additional hours and tasks to the day, such as waking up before dawn every day for a two hour workout, going to a full day of class then right after back to hours of practice that entails couple of them on the field…

Growing Up in a Broken Home and What it Has Taught Me Growing up I had typical childhood experiences, but unlike some of you I grew up in a broken home. Many people would say I got the short end of the stick; however, I believe it has in some ways made me a better person. It was not because of the broken home, tons of other people grew up that way, it was the completely opposite lifestyles I observed in both homes that changed me. It has taught me many life lessons, including the fact that a man…

She would lay next to me on my little bottom bunk, while the snow fell in the Maine woods outside and the dog slept at my feet and she would read.
