Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for family, friends, and for everything we are fortunate to have. Sadly, there are families that do not have that and at Ramapo we take pride in donating our time to help the less fortunate. On Saturday, November 19, 2016, I, along with my Ramapo Baseball teammates, took part in the Thanksgiving Project Joy run by the SAAC Committee at Ramapo College. What I find most interesting is that every year the mood is upbeat and we meet other volunteers from different

I was sitting in the bleachers at Ramapo College in the gymnasium at a camp graduation about to fall asleep, when the Mayor of Mahwah called out my name. I had no idea what was going on, I stood up confused, walked slowly down the bleachers over to the Mayor, and shook his hand as he handed me a plaque.

There have been rapid developments in the field of Information and Communication Technology for the last few years. As a result of this, people have begun to widely use means of modern technologies such as cell phones and social networking in order to communicate. At first glance, this might seem to be an advantage since people meet their needs for communication effectively, but it may affect their lives in a negative way as well.

Society is an honor in itself. I would be thrilled to join such a society because of the limitless opportunities it would present to me. Joining NHS would allow me to grow as a person and do as much as I can for others. In my years as a student at Mahwah High School, I believe that I have displayed various examples of scholarship, leadership, service, and character that I deem would qualify me to join this prominent society. Being a high school student who balances the rigorous work of AP and Honors

Ramapo Mountain would have been one of the first racially integrated communities in the United States. Sadly, in 1972 the project was rejected. Although the Civil Rights Act had been passed eight years prior, the country as a whole was not yet ready for radical change. My grandfather, the man behind Ramapo Mountain, has always told me that true transformation takes years; and that truism has borne itself out in my high school career. Ninth grade was a particularly difficult year for me,

I choose Law & Order: SVU because the Special Victim’s Unit or SVU is the second version of the extremely and well-known Law & Order series, and my opinion the most exciting of the series. The show follows officers who specialize in handling sexually based crimes and offenses. I decided to critique season five, episode nineteen. The reason why I choose this episode is because after hours of watching this in my opinion showed
