A Time In High School

School can be a nightmare filled with classes that you have how to handle and news drifting around the hallways about that one class that gives out a lot of homework.

A Time In High School

During my senior year of high school, I decided to take AP Physics, a class infamous for being academically demanding. However, I was still determined to take the class and excel. For the first few weeks, the class did not seem too strenuous, and I started to think that everyone who took it in the past was exaggerating. That quickly changed as we reached the dreaded Forces unit, the most cumbersome chapter of the textbook. I told myself it would be fine if I studied an extra hour each day. Unfortunately, the information remained muddled in my mind. I finally decided to stay after school and ask my teacher for some assistance. From going over normal forces to talking about gravity, the information started to make more sense. Now, whenever a future AP Physics student asks me for advice, I tell them about the time I asked for help and succeeded.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
