Growing up, achieving near perfect grades in school quickly became my utmost priority. I excelled in nearly every subject, particularly math, all throughout elementary, middle, and most of high school; however, this year, my senior year, I had experienced what I’ve always considered to be my absolute worst nightmare: receiving a low test grade in a math class.

I was raised up in a music oriented family, where everybody in my family is musically talented in some way. I wanted to have a career where I can make my own music, and actually do something that I will enjoy. While doing a career

"Treat others the way you want to be treated" is a famous saying that people usually tell children. I believe this goes perfectly with the story, "Why the Tortoise's Shell is Not Smooth" because the Tortoise decided to trick the birds, and the birds ended up tricking the Tortoise.

Symbolism In The Veil The veil that the minister wears in "The Ministers Black Veil", by Nathanial Hawthorne represents the emphasis on man's inner reality, and those thoughts and feelings which are not immediately obvious. As Hawthorne explored this inner nature, he found the source of dignity and virtue, and certain elements of darkness.

Exactly six months to the day before Donald Trump was elected president of the United States, Radiohead released their eerily prescient and hypnotic ninth album, A Moon Shaped Pool, to great fanfare. Nothing could have foretold the future more than the lyrics to the opening song, “Burn the Witch”: “Abandon all reason / avoid all eye contact / this is a low-flying panic attack.” Backed by a repetitive and sawing string arrangement and an equally disturbing music video, it’s one of the most overtly

Edward stood up from the table, walked a few paces towards the exit and placed a hand on Tabitha’s shoulder. He turned and stared at the men and women seated in front of him. “I must take my leave,” Edward said. “I trust you all know what to do as we begin our reelection campaign, and move forward with our plans.
