Natick

As we pulled into 145 Oak Street, Natick, MA on Christmas Eve 2011, instead of being greeted by fellow church parishioners, we were greeted by armored soldiers equipped with M4 Carbine assault rifles. Instead of Honda Odysseys and Ford Focuses filling the adjacent parking lot, a giant tank loomed over the empty spots. I was only twelve and was very confused. I had never experienced such trouble simply going to church any other Sunday. What made this time so different? Now, flashback almost two weeks

“Poor, darling fellow – he died of food. He was killed by the dinner table” (Vreeland). It was December 7th, 1941 and Japanese fleets and airplanes had attacked and bombed the American military and nautical base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. On this day, America entered World War II, and began its own four-year fight against the Axis of Powers, as well as a war for food, United State troops were sent off to battle with their fellow man, as well as battling their hunger.

Known by several nick names like “Bay State” - where early settlers made their first colony in bay area, ‘The Baked Bean State’-where Puritans used to serve baked beans and brown bread on Sunday, ‘The Pilgrim State’- where the pilgrims made their first

As I open the door and enter into my house after a long day of school, I sit down on the couch, all the sudden I hear the door open again, my mom walks in and exclaims “pack your bags we’re going to Lake Winnipesaukee”. My extended family begins the journey up there as well. Everyone packs a bags into the car and we are off to spend the week up on the lake. As the sun set on the lake, the lightly dimmed room was engulfed in the aroma of turkey, my family started to filter in. Everyone pulled up

The choice of pursuing a medical career came naturally to me. Both of my parents are doctors and they have been the inspiration for my own journey to pursue a career in medicine. However, with many subfields, the medical field is quite expansive and over the years I have found that a few particular medical concepts have heightened my intellectual interest. Ever since I was a child, when others were messily coloring in pictures of Woody from Toy Story, I would intently draw the nerves weaving through

There is a reoccurring theme throughout The Confessions where Puritans seem entirely burdened with guilt, typically due to their wavering faith or belief in God. It often seems that in times of adversity, they are unable to feel God’s presence and their misery completely clouds and obstructs their faith. Many of them also feel so out-of-touch with God, they feel they are undeserving of his “mercy”. Some even go further and admit to being afraid of God’s wrath, as Joanna Still’s confession demonstrates;

Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most prevalent pediatric movement disorder [1] and often results in pathological gait patterns that emerge during development and persist throughout life. More effective and sustainable treatments are needed for gait rehabilitation in CP. Wearable exoskeletons provide an untapped resource. A robotic exoskeleton that provides knee extension assistance was demonstrated to improve walking in children with crouch gait from CP [1]. The full effect of exoskeleton

Nicky with one. I mastered the popular girl walk, talk, and wardrobe. So, I gathered up my courage and sat with the popular group at lunch. Sure enough, they accepted me. They all invited me to a sleepover at Nicky's. She lived all the way out in Natick so I argued with my father to drive me. He eventually gave in. When I got there, I felt weird because her house was so big and I honestly didn't know any of them. The night consisted of fake laughs at jokes I didn't get and comments about clothes

The Game of Hope Everybody dreams of achieving their accomplishments, yet with age, people naturally limit themselves to more realistic expectations, following the logical path, rather than disconnecting from the perceived restraints, and dedicating themselves to achieve success. As a child, I dreamed of being a professional athlete when I grew up. Throughout kindergarten and the beginning years of elementary school, I imagined sprinting onto a field full of adoring fans, traveling around the world
