The building was a marvel of modern engineering. A carbon neutral, solar and geothermal powered monument to the future. The outside of the building a sleek combination of recycled redwood and interlocking solar panels. The inside’s high vaulted ceilings and sleek white pillars formed a cavernous inner space. Three classrooms divided the building into working spaces. The bright L.E.D lighting and modern fixtures completed the buildings futuristic design. This building was the newest in a long line of additions to my middle school's campus.

In today’s society, there is an abundance of waste. This is clear in observing how people live, we often throw out items because we want something better. Lars Eighner, author of "On Dumpster Diving," writes about his experiences being homeless and how he survived on the waste of others. This provides insight on how the phrase "one man's trash is another man's treasure," is true. Jeremy Seifert, who directed the documentary Dive!, also talks about how he survives off of other people's waste, but this was a decision he made. As they tell of their experiences, Seifert and Eighner both come to the conclusion that society is wasteful. While both individuals provided good information, I believe Seifert presented the better argument. Both of

How can you be the youngest American self-made billionaire and a college drop out? Thirty-year-old Elizabeth Holmes accomplished this with her company Theranos. “I think a lot of young people have incredible ideas and incredible insights, but sometimes they wait before they go to give their life something, “she said,” what I did was just to start a little earlier” (Holmes). Elizabeth dropped out of Stanford University at the age of 19 and cashed the funds for her tuition to start her company. Her company took the $76 billion industry in laboratory-diagnostics head on. This industry hasn’t changed since the modern clinical laboratory emerged in the 1960’s. Elizabeth’s company wants to use a pinprick of blood in a container smaller than a dime to do 50 plus blood diagnostics in one. This means no vials of blood, no tourniquets and less time than the traditional test time. All the things the company is trying to create are amazing. These advancements will not only help with earlier detections of illnesses; the

She says for anyone getting ready to find a job, “find your passion and use it as a compass; be yourself, be authentic and find a place that values your opinions. It feels less like work when you love what you’re

We define moral courage as the ability to act rightly in the face of popular opposition, shame, scandal, or discouragement. When we say a person has moral courage, we speak of things like ethics, good and evil, right and wrong. This is the kind of person who does bold things. They do these things not because they are trying to make a name for themselves or impress their peers, but because it is the right thing to do. A person with moral courage stands up in the face of adversity.

As a result, Sarah Osborne was one of the individuals accused of witchcraft.

Linda Colley’s The ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh is a great example of an exciting biography that allows us to learn about British Imperial Rule through someone else’s eyes.

On my visit to the Dunwoody campus, I could not wait to look around. I've been attending the Math and Science Academy for seven years. Even before my sixth grade year, I have always enjoyed constructing things, playing with building blocks, and making little robots. On the night of my sixth grade orientation, I visited my school to be and was surprised when I walked in the front door. I was greeted by an eight foot tall robot made by high school students. They were part of the program called For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST). I
