Why I decided to go back to school Most people go back to school because they need a degree to obtain a higher paying job or for the thrill of lifelong learning. It’s hard to gain proper employment without it these days. Employers prefer someone with a Liberal Arts degree lacking experience over someone with years of experience and no degree.

My name (or the name given to me by the whites I worked with) is Crooks. I lived a fortunate life as a child when my father owned the ranch but as an adult I lived a tough life‚ a life of hardship‚ work and oppression. When I was a child I was different‚ not just because of the colour of my skin compared to the children I played with but also because my father was a landowner‚ this was very rare for the time. We had about ten acres in Oklahoma‚ a chicken ranch to be exact. It seemed like just about

When I was approached with the opportunity of volunteering as a summer camp counselor at the India Community Center‚ I was hesitant at first because I didn’t know how

According to the Oxford dictionary‚ music is a vocal or instrumental sound combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form‚ harmony‚ and expressions of emotion. How amazing is that something so simple can be so magnificent that it can even affect us emotionally? As I reflect on the life of my own‚ I am beginning to realize that there is something special about music. What’s amazing about
