High School at the IHSAA Boys Semi-State Tennis Tournament. The feeling of fatigue is kicking in and the world seems as if time itself has stopped. It’s just me and the tennis court.

I got out of the car, the heat hit me like I was in a sauna. I fumbled through my bag looking for a hat, only looking up for a second when I heard a familiar voice. It was David, whom I’ve practically known my whole life and was a huge part of my tennis career. I saw him everyday up until a few months ago when he decided to take a year off from coaching at the club to help out at Norwalk Grassroots. He came back now and then to visit or have indoor lessons with inner city kids whenever it was…

Though the photo undoubtedly confronts its global audience with a reality that, oceans away, is easy to passively accept, could a single image really inspire viewers to take progressive action? As ocean levels rise, poverty ravages the third world, and both sexual and racial discrimination run rampant, it seems clear that something…

happened the first week of school I got cut from the volleyball team. I was devastated. To me there was no conceivable expiation as to why. All my passes where spot on. I had not missed a serve all week, and I worked harder then anyone else on the court. It was the first time in my life that my best was not good enough. For the first time I was not good enough, and it killed me. In that moment I felt like there was nothing I had ever done that I could be proud of. All the time I had spent…

Few artists have had a greater influence upon the course of portraiture and history painting than the French Neoclassical painter Jacques-Louis David. His canvasses evoked heavy emotion simply not found in the preceding frivolous Rococo era, a severity the artist gravitated to as various governments traded off. First, the conflicting grandeur and inequity of Louis XVI’s Ancien Régime, then the tumultuous French Revolution, and finally the magnificently short lived rule of Napoleon. Ultimately,…

All throughout my high school career, I have heard numerous accounts of the “college experience” from friends, teachers and family members, yet I found myself wondering how being in college would actually feel. Will I fit in? Will I succeed in my classes? Will I be prepared to make the big transition from high school to college? These questions, among other college-related thoughts, were constantly floating around my head throughout the short summer weeks preceding Move-in Day at Allegheny…
