The social wasp Polybia paulista protects itself against predators by producing venom known to contain a powerful cancer-fighting ingredient. A study published this month reveals exactly how the venom's toxin called MP1 (Polybia-MP1) selectively kills cancer cells without harming normal cells. MP1 interacts with lipids that are abnormally distributed on the surface of cancer cells, creating gaping holes that allow molecules crucial for cell function to leak out.…

St. Mary’s and JSerra Catholic High School (JSCHS) have many similarities and yet, they are very different. JSerra’s giant population of stude nts tower over the 800 kids at St. Mary’s.

Looking at a map Pacific Grove, California appears as nothing more than a speck, located on the Monterey Peninsula and nestled between Monterey and Pebble Beach. One could miss this tiny town with the blink of an eye. It is here one day I found Perkins Park a place giving me solace, and granting me the freedom to reflect on how life use to be.…
At the beginning of the school board meeting, the changing of the curriculum at Fellows Elementary School was debated. A woman with a son that’s in Mrs. Francos’ 1st grade class at Fellows Elementary School spoke to the board about a pilot program. She shared her passionate grievances about five different tests that were given to her son and her son's class only. Another woman with three children at Fellows, claimed that her son was being discriminated against. Mrs. Francos’ class was the only class that was required to take the pilot. This included three different literacy programs. This woman went as far as to threaten taking her son out of Mrs. Francos’ class and putting him to another class.…
Should Conroe High School remove their rule on not letting kids leave school to get food? Yes, Some students do not eat lunch at all and also because some of the food is disgusting, and being able to leave the school during lunch would be better for the students, we would be able to hang out for a little outside of school instead of being in class for 8 hours.…

“At Damien Memorial School, what makes us different, unites us.” Over the years that I’ve been here at Damien I’ve come to realize that the quote above is rather true in ways that other schools haven’t quite experienced. Despite the fact that we’re a pretty small school compared to Punahou, Kamehameha, Iolani, or Sacred Hearts, we’re all different whether it’s our personality or our ethnic backgrounds. These two things help to unite all of us as a community to understand people whose ancestors are from different parts of the world and how it has shaped someone and their life. If it weren’t for the diversity amongst the students and teachers at Damien, it would be boring because everyone would be the same. Nevertheless, diversity allows us to…

I am a senior in high school and I want to take more challenging courses to complete my final year. My reason for choosing Toccoa Falls College was due to the fact that my local college is full of bureaucracy. I felt that they did not want me there. I never once had that feeling with Toccoa Falls. That is the main reason why I choose this school. Although, the Christian values the school has had something to do with it as well.…
Everyone is aware of the name Wake Forest University carries. Obviously, I too want to be part of the Demon Decan Community. Wake Forest embodies the community spirit that encourages intellectualism and promotes civic engagement. The biggest reason for transferring to Wake Forest University is the philosophy of educating the whole person. As an Aga Khan Foundation Youth Ambassador, I was heavily involved with sustainable projects that had a purpose of solving challenges the ambassadors identified in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex. Neither of our projects were one day projects, or charitable in any sense. Because the Aga Khan Foundation focuses on sustainable development, the ambassadors make sure to model the work and “Think globally, act locally.” Rooted deep into Wake Forest’s community is the…
Escondido Christian School ( ECS ) is an amazing school, I love and am extremely lucky to be going here. However, there are some things that I think if we upgrade some things, it would make the school a little more fun from Kindergarten, all the way up to eighth grade. So, I thought of a few things that I think would be really fun. The first thing that I thought of was, I thought would be the most fun. Cheerleading was one thing that the school doesn’t have and lots of people would probably want to do it. I was thinking that we could have it for an elective, but there would also be a cheerleading team for people who really wanted to cheerlead. The team could practice after school when the sports teams would have practice and could cheerlead at games. The only problem with that is that the boys and girls both have games at the same times. So to solve that problem, the team could split up to cheer for both games, kind of like an A and B team so that they could be at both games, except neither of the cheer teams would be better than the other. Another thing is that if we want a cheerleading team, we need uniforms. Those would cost some money, but we could have one of the moms make some uniforms. Per person you would need…
