It’s time to say good-bye
"Graduation is the bridge that connects years of learning to a lifetime of success and happiness."-Unknown
Power of faith and a mother’s love
Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible. - Unknown There are two elements that create a happy, functioning family and these are the two pillars that hold strong the parts of a family. They fuel the family with life and joy. These two elements: faith and a mother's love. Mothers are the rock in any family unit. They play many roles; serving as the cook, chauffeur, therapist, ...
Follow your passion with practice
"Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul"-Plato It begins when we are young children, a spark. Something that drives us, creates feelings in our souls that makes us ecstatic or feel the need to dance with joy. As we grow and become older, we kindle this flame with practice, practice, practice. We listen to advice from mentors or seize opportunities to grow our skills. This feeling: our passion. This ...
Teachers provide the foundation for achieving life’s goals
The dictionary defines influence as "the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone." Influence is a simple word also defined by our personal interpretations of how a person makes us feel. A feeling that can leave us changed forever. An influence may be found in the way a person helps mold our career plans or our daily conduct. It's a lasting impact that moves us from point A in ...
Remember the true meaning of Christmas

Love exceeds all
"I said to my soul be still and wait without hope; for hope would be hope for the wrong thing.''-T.S Eliot.
It’s all about attitude
I, like any normal person, have my list of complaints, my daily doses of "woe is me" fits. I complain when the light turns red, and I am in a hurry. I, as a student, complain when a certain grade isn't reached or the teacher gives me and my peers "too much homework." Honestly, minuscule complaints in comparison to real problems that deserve grievances.
A farewell to high school
As my senior year draws to a close, I've come to the realization that no matter where you go, you will always have someone in a position of authority over you. Being a student for 12 years means that I have been under the authority of many teachers- some wonderful and some not quite so.
Confidence key to success
Confidence is the key to many things in life: fashion, decisions, sticky situations, public speaking and the list goes on. Confidence is being sure of yourself, being certain that no matter what happens you did the best you possibly could. Frankly, you can't go wrong with confidence. So when I see people walking around like they are defeated, I just want to tell them that a little confidence could completely transform their demeanor. If you ...

A message for today’s youth, purity is a beautiful quality
Why is purity no longer valued? I've often asked myself this question, especially through my high school years. Now, purity has become an "old-fashioned" way of living; a virtue that is ridiculed and scoffed at. Just last semester I was laughed at for wearing my purity ring, a symbol that says I will wait for marriage.
Help the Marching Knights go to Disney World
When you were a child, what theme park did you always dream about going to? Every time the commercial came on, you would ask your parents, "Can we go there one day?" Hopefully, you were thinking of Disney World!
Show your Christmas spirit by sharing your blessings
Did you know that out of the 6 billion people on this planet, 2.1 billion of those people live on less than $2 a day? And out of those people, 880 million live on less than $1 a day? I didn't know that either. But when I heard those statistics, I realized a few things.
