When I began softball I was five years old. I don’t really remember it all that well, the only thing I truly remember is my first team. My first team team was extreme, it was my sister team. Even though I don’t truly remember it, I know it was fun, for me at least. When starting out at a young age it’s hard for the

Pollution is a big problem in this day and age. Some pollution comes from burning gas to fuel our cars or some other forms of pollution comes from volcanoes. Carbon dioxide is the main pollutant warming the earth. But if we start producing less carbon dioxide then the earth will heat up even more. I know it’s crazy right. Carbon dioxide can be produced by cars, planes, power plants, and many more activities that involve the burning of gas. Did you know that within the past 150 years we humans have

adversity, learning and then becoming a better person because of your experience. "That which does not kill me makes me stronger." - Friedrich Nietzsche Happy Spring Avery!

But signs of spring are everywhere - baseball's opening day was yesterday, robins abound (tweet, tweet) and Sunday is Easter. We will have 39 people at Pinky and Pop’s house

Along Cabbage Tree Creek, four different sites were examined by two year 11 Biology classes to discuss how healthy the waterway is as an entire creek. The whole point of this study was to evaluate what the water quality is and what effect it has on the biotic and abiotic factors of the creek. The four different sites were Aspley High behind the oval, Linkfield Drive, Graham Road and Collins Road where the students examined the water and tested the levels of dissolved oxygen, the temperature, turbidity

Tuck Everlasting; Book vs. Movie Could you imagine having everlasting life? That’s what happened in the book, Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit. The book explains the Tuck family’s feelings towards having everlasting life. It tells what they went though to receive everlasting life.

The book and the movie both do a good job of explaining what it would be like to

Spring is a season full of life; beautiful flowers such as roses, tulips, and orchids fill the cold, barren earth with an alluring mixture of bright colours. The Helleborus, on the other hand, is an extraordinary type of flower that blooms during an unusual season. While the air is brisk(,) and powdery white flakes descend from the sky, the Helleborus thrives and displays its majestic attributes to the world.

My American Experience Growing up in Ghana, I had heard a lot of things about the U.S. This was a country I had always wanted to visit; my prayer was answered when I got the opportunity to travel there. Arriving in a new environment came with many experiences. Adjusting with food, language and the weather was not easy. With the passage of time, however I have been able to0 adjust and fit it.

Kayaking and I do not bode well together. I despise the icy water that leaks into the tiny boat along with everything else involved in this activity. Relentlessly trying to remain in my kayak as the freezing cold water sprays my face no matter which way I turn, I watch my fellow grade 8 friends as they too struggle to stay inside. After hopping into the wobbly kayak, burning cold water already spritzing my face, I could tell the next 45 minutes would be absolutely dreadful. Paddling around the same
