A promise was given, a promise from the U.S.A. to those searching for a better life. A life away from poverty, war, a life without education, and one that leads their children to a terrible road ahead. Yet, that promise given to immigrants was a promise that was broken throughout time. The Statue of Liberty was built in September 1875. Built to represent freedom, a better lifestyle, and the American Dream. In the poem, “The New Colossus,” by Emma Lazarus, it asserted: “Give me your tired,…

So they started a city, and they called it Demacia. They used the trees and combined them with ash and lime to…

Thank you for choosing our school to select three artifacts for a time capsule that will be taken to Mars on the next space mission. Each student has selected their three items, and we are ecstatic! We have each chosen two things that mean a lot to us, and one thing that we think would benefit and/or inform further generations. I can't wait to explain the artifacts I chose and why I'm wanting to put them into the time capsule! One of the first items I would like to put into the time…

Fall River, Massachusetts is a city just about an hour south of Boston College. I have lived there my entire life. I moved once, but it was only to the other side of the city. Having accumulated, then, twenty years of experiential knowledge living in Fall River, I thought I knew more about the city than – it turns out – I do. The way that I know Fall River, and the way that I portray my home town to others, is as a large, diverse, economically-challenged, dead end city. This does not paint the…
