In order to reduce brain trauma as a result of a violent collision within the NFL, a new sideline concussion test has been set in place. Through tests like these that analyze brain trauma more closely, brain trauma within the NFL may be significantly reduced. That said, the current steps taken by the NFL to control the violent collisions that produce brain trauma is not enough because football is a high contact sport where injuries are continuous.

It was around that time in the afternoon when you realized your day is not going to be productive because you woke up an hour ago, but you try anyway. I was starving, but my roommate had told me about a brunch place in Harlem called Kitchenette, perfect for my two thirty brunch. For some reason, the subway was far more crowded than usual. People were stacked together, awkwardly touching each other. And, I start to regret trying to the trip to 125th Street. I finally reach 125th Street. The…

The clock ticked down as we had less than thirty minutes to find our way out of the labyrinth that we brought upon ourselves. The further we adventured into the unknown, the more our once unscathed gleaming shoes became soiled. We kept dredging through the dense, and sticky mud that now engulfed the path. The same path that was once created with the type of gravel that crunches and crackles like pop rocks in water. Every dreadful step lead us out of familiarity, inching into an unfamiliar…

For an event so dramatic in my life, I still find it strange that I only vaguely remember it, especially because I could have lost my life that day. But I do recall that it was a clear, sunny day in one of the warmer months of 2011, and that I was still an energetic, ever-enthusiastic 10-year-old, much like an obnoxious, but adorable puppy. That day, I ventured to the beach at the aptly-named city of Oceanside, California with Carleigh, my 5-year-old little sister, and our dear old mother. She…

assignments. This class also has a therapy dog that they share with the elementary school across the street from the middle school. Mrs. Whitelaw rewards the students for jobs well done by using a ladder system. The students each have a name plaque with a Velcro back that is attached to the whiteboard on top in a ladder like style. Each student at the end of each class would show Mrs. Whitelaw in the different TA’s what they completed that day and after each class. If the students completed the…

minimal assistance with dressing his upper and lower body. Some ideas to lower his need for assistance is to teach him to use a button hook to button up his shirts and to zip his pants up and down. He cannot tie his shoes, so the use of slip on shoes or Velcro can be recommended. Similar looking shoes as previously worn can be chosen if he is concerned with cosmetics. If the use of the button hook is too difficult to teach or use, it might be time to recommend pull over shirts that do not have…

I chose to observe a young Asian girl who was about five years of age. Her birth date is on June 14, 2011. She was slightly above average height and seemed to be of average weight compared to her classmates. She had long dark brown hair that was pulled back a hot pink headband with a flower on it. She had an identical twin sister that wore the same hot pink dress with white and pink leggings and sparkly pink shoes. The only difference between the two physically was that my child wore leggings…

Keena Ta Diana Sieker 13 December 2013 Literature of the 1980s Fashion Speaks Louder than Words What is fashion? Fashion is something that is dealt with everyday. Fashion is never constant. Something that is in today might not be in tomorrow. As Coco Channel once said, “Fashion is made to become un-fashionable.” Fashion tells you what is trending and is constantly searching for the newest of everything. Some say that fashion gives an individual a sense of self-expression. Fashion is a language…

As the alarm clock blared for me to get up, I rolled out of my bed. Today was the day that marked one year since the attacks in Paris. I arrived at Reagan High School to find banners everywhere. I lived in Washington D.C., so we cared a lot about terrorists’ attacks. All day, we talked about the attacks. I loved learning about history and current events, but these attacks were always hard for me to talk about. My mother was in the military, which is why we lived in D.C. She received orders to…
