I was so wrong. Pledge Detroit changed my opinion of Detroit for the better. Particularly my sophomore year assignment of cleaning up Belle Isle’s Abandon Zoo. When we arrived at…

From afar, the city of San Ramon appears to be a quaint, suburban California city. However, the term “quaint” is not totally accurate. There are a multitude of beautiful homes, apartments, and schools being constructed, and have been for the last 2 decades, and there are plenty of lovely parks for people of all ages to enjoy as well.

She sat at the table closest to the door with the rest of her family and a plate of pancakes staked placed right in the center of it. This was it, the news she was not prepared for. “We’re moving to Montreal”. She looked at her brother who seemed to be unfazed and…
