Green Bay is huge on football and cheese. I love the culture there, and the people. Everyone there is great people, and we all love the same things, and end up creating a great community in the town. I miss my hometown, and I’m excited every time I visit there.— Andrew, Hoggard High School, Wilmington,…

We invited students to read “Kuya,” an interactive illustrated piece about the artist’s relationship with his older brother, who deals with mental health issues. Then, we asked them to tell us about a meaningful family relationship they have in their own lives. Many shared touching stories and moving tributes to their brothers and sisters, mothers…

It is underwhelming yet not surprising that only 26% of Americans are worried about climate change, and it is most likely composed of Gen Z since they will have to face the consequences, unlike older generations. This portion only goes to show the disconnect between many Americans since much of the population either does not…

Something That Would Benefit Me in the FutureBoth learning languages and forensic are something I find truly and deeply amusing, but there’s this one topic I can’t quite seem to grasp: stocks. This is why I would choose this — one-syllable — word to study for a year. On one hand, I hear people talk…

Most people tend to text others in the same way that you verbally speak to them, with the incorporation of slang. The majority of text messages don’t end with periods, since when someone is speaking verbally, their sentences don’t necessarily end in abrupt stops.

The resurrection of the wooly mammoth feels both dystopian and unattainable. But that is what our current science is, producing dystopian-like research to find what seems like unattainable findings. It’s strange to think about. Which animal, who has been dead for thousands of years, gets the chance to come alive again-where do you draw the…

Before this pandemic, waking up and sitting through boring classes was dreadful and felt like there was nothing I would want to do less. However, now I come to my classes excited. I am excited that teachers see me in person and can connect my name to my face. I am excited that I get…

I do not live in a political bubble. I have a 58% republican area, so I see a fair share of both parties in my neighborhood. I was surprised by how even it was though, because I do not really see a lot of Biden signs, and Trump flags seem to be everywhere. I think…

In classes like math, social studies, or science, I feel like I’m learning just as much as I would in person, just in a different format, with google forms instead of test papers. In other classes, such as music and art, I feel like I’m missing out. Music used to be one of my favorite…

This verdict is a turning point. But the cycle of injustice and brutality is still repeating itself. The verdict was an affirmation that George Floyd’s life mattered. It’s a verdict that we shouldn’t have doubted, that shouldn’t have been rare, that we should’ve expected. We should’ve been able to be certain about it, for we…
