She talks about how her and a Nigerian publisher have dreams to build and refurbish libraries to open doors for the many kids of the country to tell their stories. Then, she…

Many people think of character in different ways. I think that if anyone has character, its Coach Pennington. Coach Pennington is one of the best coaches we have at olney high school. Our coach has passion, dedication, heart, and he is helpful. Coach P has many good qualities like hes is funny, honest, and humble. This is what Coach P a good character. He has compassion, trust, short tempered, but that is what makes him a good coach. Coach P focuses on students, not on courage, perseverance, and…

style (interesting and stimulating writing), organization, design (attractive details), and usefulness in the classroom – and only one author is honored with the award each year. The book must be written with the purpose of sharing information in a way that children would find interesting, thus the criteria that it be in book format versus a textbook layout. Knowing the five criterions, I explored six Orbis Pictus Award winning books from past years and focused on the elements…

told them the same thing: “We came here to see Gabriel Vargas in room 311.” I realized how the family bond was unbreakable and stronger than ever, and having them there everyday showed that family love does not wear off and could be eternal if you try hard. After two weeks of hell, my brother finally entered recovery mode around the same time of my birthday. I wouldn’t have loved to spend it anywhere else except with my brother. What my family pulled together is truly unforgettable that day,…

In my personal experiences, I am able to coordinate and discuss issues with my partner in a mannerly way; I respect and value my partner’s tradition. My partner and I are both ESFJ type, so we deal with issues and problems very well; we are diligent (“HumanMetrics,” 1998). For example, my partner and I started our relationship as a long distance relationship, so it was very hard to coordinate the time, because we live in the opposite side of the world. In order to maintain our relationship…

punishment or restriction, but to an extent. The reason why is because we are allowed to dress in short dresses or wear hats but we are not allowed to walk out naked in public. Unless you’re on a private beach somewhere out in California. This is in a way harmful to our own country because with too much freedom comes abuse.

The term “success” can be interpreted in a variety of ways. Success is very personal, and will be different for everyone. Many people dream of living in a large house, driving a sports car, and having financial freedom, while some only dream of having a boat, or RV, and living in a small house by a lake. However, another definition of success does not have anything to do with material goods, but is rather concentrated on broader concepts. Being successful comes from being happy. How can you be…

marginalized and unprotected Americans without papers”, how as a nation can we let all these possibly great minds go to waste on a simple matter of being born on the wrong side of the border. To me the DREAM Act is a great way to find new great minds in our immigrants and instead of fighting so hard to push them away, we should embrace them as one of our own. In this new flat world our nation should take advantage of any opportunity to get ahold of an edge over our…

understand the actions of Emily, we need to understand the role her father played in her life. His constant isolation of her person combined with his belief that no one was good enough to associate with her ensured that her happy ending that he worked so hard for never came to fruition: “…Miss Emily slender figure in white in the background, her father a spraddled silhouette in the foreground, his back to her and clutching a horse whip, the two of them framed by the back-flung front door”…
