We've had a royal birth, a celebration marking 50 years of Doctor Who and Andy Murray won Wimbledon making him the first British male to do so in *77 years.

Life can throw a lot of gifts and obstacle right in your face. Good or bad, the best way to cope with a gift or obstacle is to tuck them tight in your pocket and learn from them.

High school football, probably the biggest impact on my life, has taught me morals, lessons

Students, faculty, family, friends, on this exciting day, I speak to optimism, laughter, and grins. As I was gathering input for this graduation speech, several people suggested including a profound quote offering “encouraging advice to the young graduates”, and then there were others who said, “eh don’t worry about it, no one listens to those anyway.” Fortunately, I was actually able to take from both suggestions and found a happy balance.

I remember the day she born. I was nervous for the simple fact that my life would never be the same. Soon no longer would I be known as just Ayanna, I would take on a new title. A title that I would share with so many woman, and after eight long hours of labor, I would now be known to the world as mommy. Growing up I came from a family of two sisters and a brother. My parents worked hard to be sure that there was always a roof over our head, food on the table, and clothes on our back. My worked

Can't Take Me Home was produced. Two million albums and three top 40 singles later, Pink was asked to do the remake of LaBelle's 1975 #1 hit, "Lady Marmalade," for the "Moulin Rouge" soundtrack, along with well known artists Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim and Mya.

Rap music has been around for many years and still has a powerful influence on today 's society. While rap music provides a voice to the voiceless not all rap music is positive. Rappers emphasize their reality, which was “replete with property, police brutality, drug abuse, educational inequality, high drop-out rates and violence….

Determination, discipline, and dedication are the three keys to Doctor Sampson (Sam) Davis’ success. Growing up in the streets of Newark was not easy for any child, pre-teen, teen, and adult, especially for Davis but with the three D’s to success he speaks of in The Pact: Three Young Men Make a Promise and Fulfill a Dream, shows that anyone can succeed when you have friends to help you through it all. Even though Davis did not have a perfect childhood, determination, dedication and discipline would
