One day I’m hoping a boy will pass me a note during nap time, and the next, I’m taking a three hour test that could give me credit hours in the college I might attend. I’m a junior in high school.

Upon arriving to school Sept. 11, students can only expect to spend the day remembering and honoring those who perished on that fateful day in 2001. However, this year was a little different. The Pledge of Allegiance and the moment of silence that are usually announced at the beginning of first period were seemingly neglected.
First...

In other states such as Oregon, Washington, Vermont and Montana (only with...

We are in the age of equality for people of all races, age, gender, and sexuality; however, women seem to continue to get pushed to the side when it comes to the way we’re treated and viewed.

Regrets.
Every teen has them. Seems like this past couple of weeks, I’ve done nothing but actions that I regret immensely within the next 2 or 3 days.
Be it losing the flash drive that contains every work I’ve ever written since high school started (something more valuable than my phone, might I add); slacking off...

The friendly office lady opens the door and my teacher is waiting to meet me at the door. As she introduces...

Imagine having to use brute force to turn a can opener, or hardly ever being able to cut a straight line with scissors. Oh yeah, we’re talking about being left-handed.
Sure, I feel special, being in the approximately 10% of left-handers in the world’s population, who wouldn't?
But boy does it come with its advantages...

I wish I could predict the future. I guess you could say that would be the superpower I would want if someone had posed me such a clichéd question.

Masquerade creates mystery
The idea of a masquerade prom is very intriguing.
Imagine everyone dressed in gorgeous gowns and tuxedos but their identities are hidden.
