The Newtown shooting has created lots of questions on gun control in the United States. I feel that the problem with all the shootings in America is not necessarily on gun control, but rather the psychological issues of the people who are the ones shooting schools and institutions up. This is what the government and everyone else should be more focused on instead of publicizing the shooter to make them notorious and create more shootings.
The United States is a country that is extremely

Finally. I am almost out of High school and It is only my junior year!!! This year only has a few more weeks to it and I am already planning to take Collage courses over the summer. I have already tested into the classes that I want to take. The biggest problem is that I do not know what I want to do next year, because I will be participating in a program called dual enrolment. Nobody from my school has ever taken Collage courses over the summer of their junior year, and my teacher is not sure

My first year of college was one filled with studying, more studying, friends, even more studying, and a rather large bill. Students who are about to exit high school and enter the hectic university life perhaps do not realize how expensive a post-secondary education can be. Any current college student, though, would probably not mind the chance to rant to anyone willing to listen about their never-ending pile of receipts and bills that their three part-time jobs just can’t pay

At the beginning of this semester I was told that I would have to take a math test. I have always struggled with math so, going into this test I was nervous. We had three chances to take it. After I didn't pass it the first time, I wasn't worried because I figured I would pass it the second time for sure. I didn't. That evening I called my mother bawling. You see, failing the test a third time would result in being dropped from the program. I worked so hard to get there. Failing that t


Austin Kleon spoke at York College campus about his artistic drive that began in middle school and blossomed when a famous artist, Winston Smith, responded to a letter he wrote as an assignment in class. Kleon wrote his letter using “ransom note” font which looked odd on paper and that may be the reason this letter caught the attention of the artist. Little did Smith know he would be a positive influence in Kleon’s life with his responding letter of encouraging words and bits of advic

Right from the opening of the story, Franklin, the protagonist, delivers the readers his opinions. He seemed like a forthright old man who tolerates no guff. At first, Franklin seemed like a typical brassy character, however soon it becomes clear that he is in the grip of a full-blown manic episode, and he has managed to bankrupt himself as well as torment everyone in his life by refusing to take his medication.

I had one class left to complete my anthropology minor—anthropological theory. The first day of class, the professor asked us, “Who wants to be successful?”

Naturally, everybody raised their hands. Everybody, that is, except Mary. Mary sat next to me and she was beautifully unconventional. I don’t think she refused to raise her hand in spite of the professor. I think she truly just wanted clarification of the question. This was anthropological theory class, after all—a class dedicate

School shooting became for lack of a better work “popular” with the Columbine Shootings, and has become ever more popular in the last few months. These events have sparked gun control a controversy that has swept across America. While some Americans are fighting to retain gun rights as they currently stand others are fighting for additional gun control laws, the true issue behind school shootings is the lack of avocation for a better overall mental health in students which ultimately cause suc

The shooting in Newtown, Connecticut was a cry for help, a scream for control, an instant resort for a distorted plea. Adam Lanza was one of many Americans who suffer from a variety of mental illnesses and personality disorders; although Lanza was living with an illness it will never explain this great tragedy. In America there are no spotlights on mental illness and disorders only medication given to hide abnormality and create a “normal” human. In a fast pace world filled with instant grat
