To The Teachers That Left An Impact On My Life
Dottie Parham

I’m sure most of us can think of a teacher that changed our lives in someway. Whether it’s elementary, middle, or high school teacher. I’m sure you can think of AT LEAST one teacher. But I can think of more than one. Every teacher that I’ve had has made an impact on my life in someway. Even if I didn’t learn anything academically, I learned something about myself, my teacher, or life in general.


We are all humans and even if someone that has different qualities that us can make a big impact on our lives.

If we all sit and reflect on the past, there is one particular teacher that comes to our minds. All of my teachers have been nothing short of amazing, but 5 of them stand out the most.


Even if I didn’t have 2 of them as teachers in the classroom, they taught me so much about myself and life. To me, these teachers have been my biggest supporters, my favorite people, and my best advocates. To clear things up, I didn’t stay by their sides throughout the day or eat lunch with them. I had my own friends that I hung out with, but I was not and still not ashamed to say that they became my role models.

I had a great relationship with all of my teachers, but only a handful accepted me when I decided to open to them. These 5 special ladies let me open up and tell them everything.

One is my sister, I went to her before any of the other ones because, I mean, it’s my sister. She knows me better than anybody. If I had a problem academically, with a boy, with a friend, just in life, I went to one, if not all of these teachers asking for advice. If I was having a bad day, I would go to on elf their classrooms to get some peace and quiet.

I’m sure there are people who have specific teachers that they think so highly of and respect just as much. I’ve respected every one of my teachers, and I will forever. I’ve had over 20 different teachers, and I’ve never had any trouble with any of them.

5 out of 20 teachers seen the struggles I went through as I start to grow up and mature. I’m sure all 20+of those teachers would have been there for me, but I only let a handful in. I can never thank those teachers enough.

So remember to thank EVERY ONE of your teachers because they’ll all leave a mark on your life.

And thank the ones that help you through your struggles a little more.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
