What really pushed me forward when I started freshmen year was stepping out of my comfort zone. Trusting my capabilities and having courage was something I was never known to do…

There's also a small shop. Its not much but its somewhere to get bait,…

In the iconic movie, “Finding Nemo”, a shark named Bruce once said, “Fish are friends, not food.” This is verbal evidence that superlative character education was exemplified in this children’s film.

floaties,” I quickly scold her. She replies with her sassiest tone, “I don’t like my floaties.” We continue to talk and I agree to let her swim without her floaties, if I can teach her how to swim. As I try to show her the basics of swimming, she immediately loses interest. Emily, who’s a wild and spontaneous four year old, looks at me as if I pushed her in the pool myself. She swiftly grows fussy and holds on to the pools walls, to slip away for her dear life. I briskly swim…
