I stood on the balcony of the clock tower, breathing heavily. My front faced a small gathered crowd about fifty feet down, and to my back left, was Paul Richmond. I didn't understand him. Why wouldn't he let me die in peace? The school, the entire school, already wanted to see me dead. If I did jump, if I were to end it right now, they would laugh and joke about how I was a coward. But Paul was different. He actually cared about me. Why? Why would he care about someone as insignifigant as me? I…

For what reason do elephant seals come ashore during the spring and summer? This and many other ocean questions are asked at competitions of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl. I enjoy academic competitions like this because they allow me to share the knowledge I have accumulated over the years. In April 2016, myself and several friends travelled to Morehead City, North Carolina, to compete in the national competition of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl.

It was late March 1876, the wind was cold and hard like the stones of the lake shore the S.S. Cronet landed on, carrying six crew and three passengers.

I believe the Rapanui walked the statues 11 miles across what is now known as Easter Island. The Rapanui are peoples who lived in the island. The only information we know from the Rapanui about the statues walked across the island.

"In 1998, a group of scientists put the sledge-and-roller theory to the test, using a 10-ton replica of a statue and 70…
