Number One Best Moment In 2016

May 18, 2016, Graduation Day

The number one moment I would say is the best is my graduation day, which was on May 18, 2016. I will never forget the day I sat with the class of 2016 and walked across the stage when Ms. Bih Gamnje called my name, "Leielt Azanaw." On the other side of the stage were NJROTC cadets raising their swords when I approached. Reason why? I was a part of the program in high school. I was so happy. My family screamed my name from the audience,"Go Leieltya!" As family and friends cheered for the class of 2016, everyone was so happy.

Not only was my graduation the best moment in 2016, knowing all these wonderful people in the past couple of years and now graduating with them is a great blessing. Everyone I truly love and call friends is not in the photo, but they know who they are.

I never thought I would have gone this far. Without my friends, I never would have made it. I made memories I will never forget.

Other Moments That Are The Best

Every day I've spent on this earth is the best moment in my life, not just in 2016. Yes, there may be times when I have my worst moments. For example, when I was cleaning and somehow dropped my iPhone 5C into a bowl of milk, which I find quite funny. Since my phone dropped into milk, my speaker barely works, but my phone is still somewhat in shape. Time for a new phone in 2017. Don't you agree?

I've got to say I'd enjoyed my years at Friendly High School. I was a part of the Academy of Health & Bio Sciences, and I'd learned a lot. I loved the class and had known these Patriots of Friendly for quite some time.

Even when we don't really keep in touch with each other anymore, they are still family. I know God has a plan for them. Whatever God has planned, I bet you it is the greatest plan of all. Best wishes!

Nyack College, Nyack, NY

Finally, I've been a part of the Nyack College family! I am now a proud Warrior! Ever since I came to Nyack College, I've experienced more than I ever imagined. I've met new people, and the moments I have had have been the best ever. I have not had any of my worst moments here at Nyack. I think my years at Nyack will be very interesting with more of the best and worst moments to come. As one of my professors said in this past semester, "Welcome to college."

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
