What Is Love?
I find the definition of love to be confusing sometimes. I’m not even in high school but I hear all these young couples constantly saying to each other “I love you, sweetie!” or texting “luv u”. To me that is not love. That is something you say on the spur of the moment because your [...]
Waiting… and waiting.
I am in eighth grade and even though the school year isn’t over yet, I’m thinking about going to high school. Just about the only thing on my mind now is, “Where am I going?” This is where the waiting comes in. I can’t stand waiting for the dreadful letter to come to my mailbox. I [...]
A deep and dark Black Hole!!!
Living without both of my parents is a struggle. My brother and I have to travel from place to place and it’s kind of challenging. My parents are divorced. Sometimes, I wish that it never happened. Sometimes, I think it was all my fault, but I know it isn’t. But I really don’t understand why [...]
Stop Bragging!
We all have those friends who brag about everything they have and all the things they get to do in their wonderful, carefree life. Am I the only who feels anger and frustration when it happens? I have to keep quiet and be polite but inside I am screaming, ” SHUT UP! NO ONE WANTS [...]
What Does Hugh Jackman Have To Do With the Olympics?
The other day during school, I went up to my friends and exclaimed, “Yu-Na Kim was pretty awesome last night!” I was met with an awkward silence and a timid, “What?” How do kids my age feel about the Olympics? Personally, I love watching them. They inspire me to work hard for the things I [...]

With everything from bright, showy colors to unique designs, all dealers show off the best of their best. But, they all [...]
Getting Involved
There is a satisfaction I get when stepping out of my comfort zone. I no longer am doing something for myself, or even for my friends, but rather for the people in my community whom I don’t even know.
Sexting: Does the punishment fit the crime?
Have you ever done something so embarrassing that you cringe at the mere memory of it? I have, and I’m sure that everyone has had a slip-up in judgment at least once in their life. Two weeks ago, two middle school students in Indiana were found exchanging nude pictures of themselves via cell phone. They [...]
Future Cooks of the Universe
I walked into consumer science (cooking class) to find everyone neatly in their seats and ready to make that day’s recipe. ”Why are all of you so quiet?” I asked, still slightly in shock. ”We have to be quiet so we can make the caramel rolls faster!” one of my classmate’s exclaimed. I sat down [...]
Avatar Sets a High Bar
Everyone’s talking about one movie right now – James Cameron’s Avatar. It’s only been in theaters for a couple of months but it’s already broken the money-making record of Titanic, another Cameron film. Avatar is a movie like nothing before it. It’s already won Golden Globe awards for Best Director and Best Drama/Action. People are still [...]
