In the film, Black Swan, the plot centers on Nina Sayers, a ballerina whose only goal is to play the role of the Black and White Swan in her company’s production of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake ballet.

“Glee club to the lobby, your bus has arrived”, said the lady on the loudspeaker. I was so happy to be leaving this early in the school day, and especially to be going to sing and go to Lake Compounce. It was around 8:40 or 9:00. We walked out of the big front doors of Seymour Middle School and off to the bus that was parked beside the sidewalk. We got on and I was with one of my best friends, Brooke.

The Great Lakes are a series of interconnected freshwater lakes. They are located in Northeastern North America, between the border of the United States and Canada ("All About the Great Lakes").

Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement, Jean M. Twenge, says with the reward system for participation it, “builds this empty sense of ‘I’m just fantastic, not because I did anything but just because I’m here.’” The author used a term, Lake Wobegon effect, which I never heard of; I was interested to know what the principle was. What I learned was that the effect is when we overestimate our abilities when compared to others: Most importantly, we like to consider ourselves 'above average'
