From there on we’re trying to support ourselves, and a family if we decide to have one. We live on to watch our children grow up, and when that task is accomplished, then death

Most of the schools have awards for the students who get good grades, but tell me what is it? Here is the answer, only a certificate or a medal. Obviously, that is not enough, therefore students will not have the motivation any more to get good grades the next year, because they want something more. I think students should get

For most individuals, asking for help can be a simple task. Unfortunately, for myself, it has always and continues to be extremely difficult. As I reflect on the reasons behind that, I can pin point to my childhood. Growing up I quickly learned to not ask my parents or anyone for anything. I choose to live invisibly in my own little world. That habit continued into my adulthood, but it is something I am working on every day. In the fall off 2015, I transferred to CSULA to continue my education. Prior

I am a cheerleader and I do believe it is a sport. When we are just standing on the sidelines and yelling you might not consider that a sport, but when we are tumbling or stunting it definitly is.

I’ve been playing soccer for over ten years, and I am very passionate about it. However the passion and dedication hasn’t always been there with me. It took a long time to realize that I needed to actually work hard to be at the level or above the level of my teammates.

Mr. Wong may have his faults, but his sweet and silent acts of love allows me to see past them

Imagine you have a class where the teacher doesn’t take up homework, classwork or test grades. Instead everyone in your class has to do one big project and an oral presentation that is due at the end of the semester. That one grade for your project is your final grade at the end no matter what. There are no retakes if you don’t do well and you are depending on that grade to help you get into a good college. This one single grade could make you or break you. This technique of grading has no effect

Princess Sparkle Heart gets a Makeover by Josh Schneider, is a book that reflects both traditional and nontraditional norms because it’s about a girl, Amelia, and her doll that becomes damaged and then replaced with different body parts that don’t fit cultural expectations that normally portray a girl doll and Amelia still views her as beautiful. From looking at the book cover, you would expect this book to only reflect traditional norms. The title is pink, sparkly, and the font is flowy but at

In his commencement speech at Kenyon College in 2005, David Foster Wallace was tasked with the responsibility of imparting some wisdom onto the graduating class.

Everyone living on the face of this Earth has heard it at one time or another: men are tough and women are weak. For many generations, this idea has been accepted as being simple truth, but why? Has anyone ever stopped, taken the time, and seriously thought that men are actually not born “tough” but instead try so hard to become something they aren’t because of the pressure society puts upon them? A study to “redefine strength” was recently done by the Good Men Project, and the findings should be
