Yearbook

and yearbook. Because of my experience growing up in music, I decided I would take part in band where I was able to travel with our school to participate in competitions. Some of those competitions were at Canada’s Wonderland and other local events. Along with the band, I participated in our school’s badminton team. One year, in particular, my teammate and I made it to the semi-finals and ranked second place out of all the school teams in the Ottawa area. Lastly, I was a part of the yearbook…

was always bored out of my mind. I rarely turned in any assignments for those classes – I just couldn’t be bothered. My last class on the last day of school was math. During the last few minutes of class I asked my teacher, Ms. Brown, to sign my yearbook. After she signed it, she sat me down and told me that she’d seen my grades, and that she knew I could do much better. She told me how much potential I had, and that I had better not waste it when I get to high school. Ms. Brown also made sure I…

noticeably aligned with the goals I set personally. NHS is meaningful to me because it is a great organization for me to be able to improve my work ethic in regards to every part of my life, horseback riding, babysitting, family relationships, and yearbook. I also enjoy service work of all kinds and I am looking forward to the chance to continue giving back to the community through NHS. As I researched the NHS organization I was able to better understand what the four pillars mean. The basis of…

later, I had reached a breaking point, but I was still reluctant to use my voice as a means of expression. Which led me to photography an art form in which I silently but effectively voiced myself. I was able to produce my work through my school’s yearbook allowing me to send a message without having to speak. Later that year, as my English class began argumentative writing, my teacher declared we would have an in-class debate. She gave our class the topic of minimum wage. I was confident about…

According to my Grandfather, who was a member of Hitler Youth but not by choice, it was a violent movement. He lived in Potsdam, Germany (a small suburb right outside of Berlin), where Hitler’s high ranking officers lived. My Grandfather was forced to be a member of Hitler Youth even though he did not agree with the choices of Hitler. He said he remembered seeing Nazis coming down his street in big, black, expensive cars, patrolling the streets. There was a lovely, elderly Jewish lady that lived…

She was named Elizabeth after her mother, Alexandra after her great grandmother, and Mary after her grandmother. Elizabeth was born on April 21, 1926 at 17 Bruton Street in London (Current Biography Yearbook 17), to Prince Albert, Duke of York, and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (“Queen Elizabeth II” 1). Elizabeth’s father, Prince Albert (later known as King George VI), was the second heir to King George V, making Elizabeth an unlikely candidate to one day become…

A serial killer carries out a series of murders of at least three or more people. Each serial killer has their own way of doing things. Serial killers differ from one killer to the next because they are different in the way that they kill. There are several differences between the Beauty Killer and the After School Strangler. Many things are different from the two, but the fact that they are both psychopaths remains the same. First, Gretchen Lowell is the Beauty Killer. The name Beauty…

INTRODUCTION Haiti is a nation where the people are resilient, prayers are consistent and work hard with perseverance. Born in Haiti but, raised in Florida, I found myself doing research on the country that has formed a place in my heart. After doing much research at the library and even online, I found that Haiti is a country known as the "Mountainous Land” (Girault). It is usually remembered for its poverty and its recent earthquake back in January 2010 where thousands of people were killed…

Knowing the Signs Gun violence has become a major concern. A well know school shooting occurred in Sandy Hook killing over 20 people. In this video Evan, an organization called Sandy Hook Promise inform you to know the signs and look for the signs of gun violence. The video is very effective in its message and how it is given. The use of emotional appeal, or pathos, is a large part of this video. Evan, a YouTube video made by Sandy Hook Promise, a nonprofit organization, was published on…

There isn’t one thing in particular that I regret doing or not doing. It’s simply my reluctance to go take more risks and go through it, whatever that it may be. And that may seem like a silly thing to say, but in fact, it is true. I always wanted to become really good at soccer, which led my parents to put me into a soccer club. I was decent, even good in some aspects, but I never actually practiced or took the training as seriously as the other kids. I was just floating from one training to…
