No soon to be freshman ever believes someone older when he or she says, "High school is the time of your life, don't just let it come and go and then have nothing to look back on. Take advantage of the four years you have because they will fly by." I can't even begin to count the number of people I heard that from, my freshman year at Fenwick, but the words they were saying went right in one ear and out the other. .
My first actual Fenwick experience was the cheerleading camp held the week before school starts. I wasn't really ever the cheerleading type, but I decided to try it anyway. It turned out that week was great and I met a few new people, but I still stuck with the same girls I had gone to middle school with. They were the only girls I really ever knew and going from kindergarten to eighth grade with the same people doesn't make it easy for someone new to just come and be friends with us. It turned out cheerleading tryouts came around and some of my best friends with whom I had planned to be doing cheering hadn't made the team. "Now what am I going to do? I only did this whole cheering thing so that I could be with my friends more!" I thought. But it was too late I was already committed to something and I wasn't going to quit just because I had to make a few new friends. The season passed quickly, and I never once regretted joining that team even though a few of my friends were not there by my side at all times. .
At this time a few of my good friends from middle school had moved on and made new friends and it just seemed like everyone was really changing and I admit I hated it. I hated change; I hated the fact that nothing was going to be the same ever again, and there were new people all around me with different attitudes or personalities that I had never been around. These things confused me, and I became angry. I no longer got along with many of my middle school friends just because I didn't like the fact that they had new friends and new things to do that didn't involve me.
There's no pausing and no rewinding in a movie theater. ... On the contrary, if you were to rent a movie it would only cost you about four dollars and you get to keep the movie for a whole week and watch it as many times as you want with all the joys of pausing, subtitles, rewinding, volume control, and, last but not least, the comfort of your own living room. ... After a few hours of reading directions and connecting all the wires, cables, antennas, and laser beams (okay, maybe not laser beams) you're ready to watch a movie in the comfort of your home at an affordable cost that yo...
At first I thought this video would be another boring biography of a business person, and I would shortly forget about it after watching it. I was wrong, I found my self rewinding the tape to watch parts of it again. Milton Hershey was a visionary thinker not only for his time, but also for today...

Fourteen feet high, looking over a sea of people cheering for their favorite football team, then all of sudden the world starts spinning, my heart beating, pain shooting down my body and people rushing over to help me; before I finish this sentence let me rewind and share what happen to me this day. ...

The traditional approach to education, in which students gather in a classroom to learn new concepts from their instructors has been the vanilla form of learning for almost 1000 years. Logically, a system that old, was not created with the foresight to understand our societal needs today. With the i...
"I can't believe this nonsense. I"m glad I"m leaving you for college. We"ll both be happy then." With immense anger and rage, I slam the door completely shut, not letting even the slightest air remain in or escape. With tears of frustration sliding from my red eyes, I head out onto the right of ...
