Once a hero always a hero Some heroes are not recognized until they do something big, and some are never recognized. A hero could do many amazing things and only get recognized for one. A hero could do many great things and one bad, and only get recognized for the bad stuff. Johnny was a hero. Some might say he wasn't because he did kill someone. Just because he made one mistake doesn't mean anything, all the kind,caring and heroic things he has done should overthrow that one bad thing. Johnny…

On June 10, 1986, a 2¹/₂-year-old girl slipped and fell into a creek near her Salt Lake City home. She spent 66 minutes in the freezing water, her body lodged against a rock. Conventional wisdom held that 15 minutes was the maximum anyone could survive drowning. When rescue workers pulled her onto the bank, she had no pulse. Her skin had turned a light blue, the color of oxygen deprivation. Her pupils were fixed and dilated, evidence that her brain had shut down. Clinically, she was dead. Out…

As Horace once said, “To save a man’s life against his will is the same as killing him” (Quotes). The wishes of dying patients should be respected, and euthanasia could help make them come true. Regarding morality, euthanasia would grant a terminally ill person the option to escape from unbearable suffering, the right to die with dignity, and the opportunity to self govern. If a person believes that the quality of his/her existence is more important than the quantity of life, euthanasia…

Sleep, it is the one thing that everyone wishes they would have gotten more of every single night when waking up early in the morning. The sad thing is though, we never actually get as much as we would like. We generally tend to put sleep off the most out of anything throughout our lives, mainly because it means it’s the end of our days. We’d tend to put on one of our favorite tv episodes or movies on, or play video games instead of sleeping. We do this simply because we’re humans. Unless we’ve…

I’m extremely annoyed with the general apathy my generation expresses. None of our days are guaranteed; time is a gift. Each day we experience holds a weight and our daily decisions reflect how we regard this weight. Too many people are content with letting their days go to waste with the assumption that their future holds something greater than the present. However, if you don’t make use of the present, you should not expect much to change in the future. Yet, it seems like people are more…

One of these evils, as old as humanity, is being subjected to violentce and/or abuse by other human beings. Despite being present for thousands of years, it has only become a matter of scientific and political interest since the early 70s in the twentieth century. Violence and abuse are different categories in which to group behaviors that a person persorms and cause harm…

The Relationship of Hanukkah With Christmas Hanukkah and the lighting of the nine candle menorah take place for eight days in memorial of the miracle that happened at the rededication of the temple on the 24th of Kislev around 160 BC. Although the miracle of the oil is an awesome act of God, it is the opinion of this ministry that the greater miracle was the preservation of the Jews. My point is that if the Maccabee’s had not prevailed for the three years that they did, against the evil…

The phrase “band is life” is thrown around between each member of the band. To an outsider, the phrase might be a little strange and not knowing the context of it might be off putting. The phrase to each member roughly means this is what I really enjoy being apart of and I'm proud of what I'm building. Another phrase used by the band at Center Hill is “What does it take to make a marching band great?” and the response of the entire band yells back “Pride!” and they repeat what two times and…

One major issue that is prominent in school is bullying and the way children deal with it. Kids do not always realize the effect their words and actions are having on their peers. With technological advances, it makes it easier for bullies to find ways to torment on social media, as well as, text messaging. This can cause major psychological problems for the bullied kids and some may even go as far as taking their own lives. The bully may not feel secure with themselves, so they put others down.…
