Hedy Lamar was known as the most beautiful actress, but she was also very smart. She came up with an idea, which is known as frequency hopping. Although many people thought it was a dumb idea at the time, it has turned into a very important part of our lives. Frequency hopping led to the invention of Wifi. Wifi is used by millions of people every day. Out of all of the ideas I've learned about Wifi has changed my life the most. Wifi allows you to talk to anyone almost anywhere. Last week…

I’m a proud member of NJHS. I’ve helped out my friends with schoolwork, and given them a listening ear whenever they had a problem. I like to help people because I want to make their lives better.

“A Message to Garcia” was written in 1899 by Elbert Hubbard, and has lessons that could be taken away by anyone who has to take orders, especially people in the military.

Although this may be true, they have not affected me as much as I once believed. They have; however, helped shape me into the…

I was in 10th grade at the time in my physical science class. I didn't have many friends, all I focused on was my schoolwork and my extracurricular activities. The girl that sat beside me was quite diffident, she never spoke to me unless she had a question about something. I noticed her different ethnicity, hispanic, which interested me. I find it unique to have different ethnicities joining all in one place. I watched her struggle throughout this class, and the grades she received were…

and time again, that took years for me to understand, but now that I do, I have opened cognitive doors. (Am growth now, but wasn’t always that way) I started out my academic career as a child to which just about everything came easily. Not only schoolwork, like…

But really the brain can only focus on one thing at a time. So next time you switch your eyes from screen to screen or listen to music as you type an essay think, am I multitasking right…

Released in 2011, the documentary, First Position, directed by Bess Kargman, exposes the hardships and the competitive reality of ballet. The documentary uses of multiple film techniques to present the reality of the art rather than preppy stereotype that surrounds it.
