As I neared the back gates of St Aloysius College, I realised that very early morning, it was not a normal and comparable year 9 school day. It was actually the first frightening, yet fascinating, day of year 10. All nerves and thoughts considered, Mum pulled up to the carpark and I exited the car. My school bag weighed as if I was carrying a pile of bricks inside of it, and yet this feeling is as familiar as an old friend, it did not stop me from discovering my new year 10 class, only the nerves

Isabella d’Este was a patron of the arts who had a very well educated and privileged upbringing that contributed to her dexterous lifestyle.

Both of these stories intertwine to show how different cultures step out of their own and try to live the American Dream. This leads the audience wondering

I feel that Auden tells the story of Miss Edith Gee extremely well, using a wide variety of literary techniques to make it an interesting but disturbingly thought-provoking read. The story shows how our protagonist is surely going about her life, in the eyes of others, as if nothing is wrong, but when she is alone she wonders if anyone does care about her.

and have always told me I could do whatever I wanted as long as I was passionate and devoted to it. Also, being accepted into the medical internship program I participated in my senior year of high school along with my acceptance and scholarship to Gonzaga University are just two examples of some opportunities I’ve been lucky enough to have.

Born May 2 1903, Harry Lillis Crosby Jr., or Bing Crosby, was fourth of seven children. Crosby studied law in college but soon realized he was more fascinated in music, specifically playing the drums and singing and joined a local band where he did both.
