I ask asked him questions about his high school experience. For example, I asked him what he wishes he had done in high school, did anything in high school inspire him to be where he is today, if so what, what is his most memorable high school experience, did he have any embarrassing moments from high school, what was the most…

questions wrong. Question 2: From this quiz I learned that though there are issues in the world, it is not as bad as it is conveyed through the news and numerous studies that caused me to have a preconceived notion that the rest of the world is struggling and their living conditions are getting worse. For example, in the question where they ask you how old you think the average life expectancy is in the world, I knew that in countries like America it must be high, but I ignorantly believed that…

selfless. That puts others before themselves. That is what a hero is to me. And to me, Oskar Schindler from The Boy on The Wooden Box, and Bruno from The Boy in The Striped Pajamas, is ultimately the definition of a hero. “Saves one life, saves the world entire.” - Oskar Schindler. The words from a hero. In The Boy on The Wooden, Oskar Schindler displays heroism because he is selfless and puts other before himself. “Somehow Oskar Schindler did achieve the seemingly impossible. He handed out…

Two Incurable Diseases Imagine being trapped behind bars for the remainder of your life. Nowhere to go, no one to assist your needs, all is left is yourself. Only your thoughts is only thing you have left. Thinking about the wonderful times you had before, the things you were able to do. Now imagine this place you are very familiar with only you know best. But now you can not move a single muscle in your body at all. Now you are paralyzed. Now permanently cornered in this place.

Not even close to a millennium ago, there once was a horrific land, filled with hatred, disease, and hopelessness. In that land, there were four worst enemies, named Herpemes, Phil, Bon Qui-Qui Thomas, and a menacing, horrible, hate filled vermin named Josh. These four boys were part of a community known as the Hilly Grump Billies. The Hilly Grump Billies were a large community of evil, wretched people who have no iris or pupils, with only a sclera, very ironically, but these mythical beasts…

Role models can be viewed in many different aspects, its just dependent upon the individual. A role model can be literally anyone or anything. Some people may look at their favorite sports athlete or the president of the United States as an example. Other individuals may even say people like a deranged serial killer like Charles Manson or evil fictional characters like The Joker or The Green Goblin are their models of aspiration. Like these people, I also have two entities that I look up to…

I never could have guessed five years ago, when I walked onto the MWBC grounds that my world would change forever. I didn’t know it then, but that cozy little patch of land in the middle of nowhere would become the biggest influence in my life. I had no inkling that the people I would meet would become like a second family to me. If I had it wouldn’t have taken me so long to get there. Growing up I was very wary of summer camp. The idea of sleeping in the woods surrounded by bugs and…

Heroes The 19th century poet, Philip James Bailey once said, “The hero is the world-man, in whose heart One passion stands for all...” this means that a hero has passion for everything he or she does and who cares and helps everyone.
