yet a hopeful felling on my HBCU campus. Like many of my fellow students standing in one of the two lines separated by the first letter of our last name‚ we would be voting for the first time for President of the United States. On the Ballot Senator Barack Obama. The loud scream that erupted at 10:00 P.M. that night after CNN projected Barack Obama to be the President-elect. The campus became a place of celebration‚ happiness‚ joy that America had chosen to elect its first black president. That what

This year’s national theme for Catholic Schools Week is “Catholic Schools: A+ for America.” The five years I have been at St. Dominic’s‚ I have experienced that it is very different then a public school and is much better.

My First Marathon By the time I entered Tsinghua University in 2006‚ my life had been occupied by boring studying for several years. There were many things that I never believed I could do like being a monitor of class‚ getting into a fancy relationship or dancing on the stage. If those were things I had still imagined‚ marathon was one thing that I had never imagined. A distance of 42.195 kilometers (about 26.4 miles) was not kidding.

I got a nickname‚”bà điên”(crazy lady)‚ from my random outburst of laugher. I was totally unaware of something that was soon to come and change my life. I was still in grade school playing with my friends when my dad came with the principle and told me that I am going to America. The word “Mỹ” (America) would

I remembered before the game that my teammates and I were on one knee holding hands in the locker room‚ saying the “Our Father” with confidence. As we were saying the prayer‚ I came to think that this will be my last first high school football game ever‚ I’ve worked so hard to get to this point.

Maddie Zisk My first day in an English speaking school. I thought back‚ to everything‚ everything that had happened and where it all had started. Here‚ it had started here. Memories flooded back‚ memories of people‚ memories of places‚ memories of… of everything. With one last look around I took a deep breath and boarded the aeroplane‚ I was ready. I arrived the day before the start of the second semester. Though my things had arrived almost a week before‚ but I had been content living out of a suitcase

A reduction in school financial cost may be a great factor considered when moving to a four-day school week. Transportation costs are reduced‚ as well as utility costs to the school. It would save a lot of money‚ especially in rural districts. Money would also be saved by the reduction in use of electricity and by not paying the employees for the fifth day of the week.
