the tale. Yes, the morals of those stories include not injuring yourself, but what about a moral dealing with yourself personally? My mom always advised me that being intelligent had nothing to do with who you are as a person. When I entered the Gifted Education group in elementary school, she constantly reminded me that even though I was smart, it meant nothing if I didn’t utilize it. I heard this saying all the time, but I never actually thought of it’s importance until one day in 4th grade. Fourth
When one reads, one gains knowledge, and when one gains knowledge, one gains power. A world of no reading, would be a world of nothing. There wouldn’t be historical writings of the Great Depression, there wouldn’t informative documents about what is happening in Washington DC, and there wouldn’t even be romantic tales of vampires and ware wolves fighting over the same girl. The human brain would be the equivalent of the common beast if we didn’t read. This is a lesson I’ve had to learn the hard way
I remember my fourth-grade teacher, Mrs. Fridley. The elementary school I attended after recess would turn off the lights, so the only natural light would be showing through the windows. Students would put their heads on their desk and my teacher would read us chapter books. She would read like one chapter a day. I remember the books, “Little House in the Big Woods”, “Queen for a day” and of course “Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing”. I remember those stories stimulated my
Marianne Williamson. Now because of hard work I have overcome adversity and almost reached the point in my life where I am content with myself. I began to play basketball by the 2nd grade and immediately took a liking to the game. I played competitively on my town’s PAL (Police Athletic League) team up until the 7th grade. Then I was old enough to play on my School’s junior high boys’ team. During this year and the following year as an eighth grader I lost the passion and drive I previously had for
My Papa always had a big personality, the kind that made a person drop whatever they were doing just to listen to him sing, laugh, tell a story- even if it was just a simple tale of washing the car- that was what made him the best performer. My Papa was always humming a melody, tapping a beat, bobbing his head to song that no one else could hear. Music was everything to him, for every memory he had there was a soundtrack, for every emotion he had felt over the years Papa could think of a song to

However, one day, a few government officials make a brief visit to his school looking for
actors. You critique the acting much more when you watch it in person. Film, on the contrary, is very expensive to make and usually features big box office names to make it into the movie theatres. The differences between the live production of The Tale of the Heike which I saw at the Glenn Hughes Theatre at the University of Washington and the film Chicago 2002 that I watched from the comfort of my dorm room are immense. The acting, the viewing experience, and the design specifically lighting are
Aspen, Colorado, the town I grew up in. The town where I first learned to speak, swim and do many other things. Life in Aspen is perfect. Skiing on the powdered slopes during the winter, hiking grueling mountains during the summer and exploring it’s majestic beauty any season. Aspen’s captivating beauty is also filled with fond memories everywhere that take me back to my childhood: seeing mom bears desperately reaching for the tart crabapples to feed their young, playing volleyball with my brother

Testing Intelligence America has not changed it’s educational system in over two hundred years. For this reason, our students and population are falling further and further behind. Our society has done nothing but move forward, so why hasn’t our learning? Everybody has a story, opinion, or response to education. We need to invest in refining our tools to succeed, to create a better sense of self, and a stronger, more well-rounded nation. The American educational system is hurting students by passing
great feeling. I also directed once as well, and that was so much work but very gratifying as well. 1459235_10152064675700240_158449247_n.jpg There is practically nothing I love more than spotlighting people just like Carley who are blissfully industrious behind the scenes to bring such beauty and warmth to light in clever Christmas tales that warm our hearts and charm our souls. As a writer myself, I always have unending repsect for those in this profession, and I hold Carley in my highest esteem

One of the most stressful aspects of high school and ultimately college is the ability (or lack thereof) to form good study habits. One may often hear the dramatic tale of a college student staying up all night in order to receive a good grade on his or her test the following morning. This student either completely fails the test, or does really well. These results depend on the students themselves and their ability to study in this manner. In this essay, I will compare and contrast fellow two of
Laurie Halse Anderson once said “Censorship is the father of fear and the child of ignorance.” Censoring books isn’t helping anyone - so why do we do it? It’s not fair for someone to force their values on someone else. When books are censored, children have no say in what they read. Censorship takes away a person’s freedom in choosing which book is right for them. Censoring books causes children to grow up with a closed mind.

I do not know whether or not I will ever completely get over the divorce of my parents, but now since it is just a memory, I can say that I have suffered through a traumatic experience within my family and lived. I have lived to tell the tale and am fortunate to proclaim that our family is stronger than ever. My parents may have separated, but my family is still

explains it to him on a boat ride through his gay animal sanctuary. Although bizarre sounding, the episode was met with praise for its portrayal of homosexuality in a time when television tried to suppress it (Parker and Stone). Mr. Garrison, the kids fourth grade teacher, shared a similar, yet drawn out story arc of his acceptance of being homosexual. Starting off hating all things homosexual in nature and stating, “Gay people are evil” in Big Gay Al’s Big Gay Boat Ride, he transitions to accepting his
