This is not always the case. Sometimes students should actually pay attention. Feynman observed a class in Brazil and was watching the students learn. Feynman states, “The students were all sitting there taking dictation, and when the professor repeated the sentence, they checked it to make sure they wrote it down all right. Then they wrote down the next sentence, and on and on” (Feynman 55).…

From the time a five-year-old steps into their first day of kindergarten till the day they graduate from college, they will hear “you are our future, our next generation, the people who will change things” from elder ones. If the next generation is our future, would that consider a senior in high school to be more valuable than a senior in college in society? If the new generation will bring more excellence, knowledge, and a different outlook to the way things are to insure a better tomorrow, the youngest would hold the most worth. In high school, seniors are the ones who rule the school, and is believed that they will be our next line of doctors who will find a cure for cancer or save our planet from global warming.…
It's Friday night, I've worked all week. What better way to unwind or should I say treat myself, than to head over to Angel's Rock Bar in Baltimore, MD to check out hometown legends Silvertung on the first night of their headlining North American Tour " Hit The Pavement". Oh wait, did I say unwind? Well I meant to say wound up. But not before supporting act VIA took to the stage with their gritty vocals and down & dirty lyrics.…

When I was a chubby little freshman with glasses I thought to myself that high school would be one of the longest time periods of my life and that four years would feel like forty years. But man was I wrong, high school went by in the blink of an eye.…

Through the years I have learned as I went through each grade, sometimes I learned how to improve writing, and other times I learned something new in math. Because my teachers pushed me to do better, I improved in math and science, and I learned more about grammar, eighth grade was my best year. For starters, 8th grade year was my best year because my teachers pushed me to do my best.…
