Lean on me is a good film especially for school administrators and people who are thinking of becoming an administrator some day. It gives us a lot of insight in handling different challenges faced by administrators. There were a couple of interesting points that struck me while watching the movie.

MOCKINGJAY Ladies and gentleman of the jury I find the book mocking jay by Suzanne Collins in 2010 to be very good at keeping me in suspense and keeping me interested. However‚ there were areas in which the book was not quite as good such as giving all the details‚ being too violent‚ and isn’t good for little kids. The book is a good book and I liked it but I didn’t like it as much as I did the first 2 books and this last book disappointed me. I was expecting some amazing ending to the series of

The River is a song by Jordan Feliz‚ and it one of my favorite and most influential songs. I first heard it during a Nationals game as Daniel Murphy’s walk-up song. The lyrics are about going to a river to pray‚ repent‚ and become born again. As an atheist‚ I try to avoid being acquainted with religious ideas or opinions‚ as I believe that religion has become a sensitive issue in many cases nowadays. But after listening to the song a few times‚ I started to love it‚ and it soon had a great impact
