The clock struck midnight. Four of my closest friends piled into the back seat of my car and convinced me to drive them to an all-night party. Reluctantly, I slumped into the driver’s seat and began to drive. All my life, I dreaded a night like this, and tried to avoid it at all costs. After all, I loathed making decisions that made people think differently of me. Knowing the tough choice I would have to make later that night, and trying to ignore the mess of thoughts that tormented me, I turned…

Madame Moreau explains (in French), "Today is a new module and I want to you learn how to converse in French. I have been hearing a lot of English but starting now, if I hear any English being spoken you would have to sit by yourself."

I get a master key to the entire school. It opens everything! All of us have keys to something. I bet you could pull them out of your pockets or purses right now.…

that is my nature.¨ Sophocles. When you get the chance to help someone do not take a second to think, just immediately do it. When and if you think for a second you will think how others may judge you for doing this. You may be shunned at first, but soon they will clearly see what you did and understand that it was more important than following everyone else.
