Something to be thankful for

My dad brings me my lunch when I forget it. He tutored me in math when I needed it. He taught me how to drive a stick even though it took a whole month. He has spent countless hours helping me write speeches for every Student Council election. My dad has always been there for me. My dad has always loved... Read more »

Live and learn

When I was a little girl, I was overly anxious and fearful. In every experience I would find something to fret about that would nag me for days, until I found the next thing to replace it. I believed every misfortune I was exposed to was going to happen to me. When I was younger it seemed like cancer... Read more »

There is a place on Harvest Hill that is home to many. They live in a brown brick building with many windows. It stands next to a neighborhood and looks as if it could just be any home. Inside there’s one long hallway with doors on each side that take you to each patient’s room. The building is anything... Read more »

My Second Home

Haley Bunnell, Staff Writer
April 20, 2012

     The two story house is quiet at 9 a.m. on Sunday. I open my door and tip toe downstairs to make sure I don’t wake anyone up and pop some potato bread in the toaster. I scavenge the pantry finding 10 Gatorade bottles on the floor, and pour myself a glass. Then I make my way back upstairs quietly... Read more »

I Remember

April 5, 2012

Sitting on a stool holding his guitar, he looked at me. His golden skin glimmered in the light. Shouts of encouragement and praise rang from behind me. The level of anticipation was at its highest for everyone in the audience, except for me. It was way too soon for this. My heart was wounded, crushed.... Read more »

Oh, sorry, did I scare you?

Danielle Deraleau, Featured Columnist
October 27, 2011

     In honor of Halloween, what scares you? My physics class, some people might say. Or clowns. I don’t understand this, seeing as I never felt traumatized or threatened by the giant red nose they wear. Granted, those creepy clowns with the dark eyes and sharp teeth do make me shiver a little.... Read more »

     If only I had listened to my gut from the very beginning, I wouldn’t have ended up with a smashed windshield, a curse and a scary experience.      The worst day ever began when I asked my father what the dent on the hood of my car was. I had been driving the car for six months but had... Read more »

   Seriously, did anyone get anything?        Today marks the thirteenth day Target was supposed to be selling the huge and much anticipated Missoni for Target line. Notice the “supposed.” Sure, they’re still selling the two or three pieces they have left, but soon all traces... Read more »

A Price to Pay

Kathy Santiago, Featured Columnist
September 21, 2011

     I did something so stupid; it took me two years to make up for what I did. The memory lingers on in my mind like a VCR tape on rewind.  I’ll never forget the look that my father gave me. I’ll never forget the tears streaming down from my mom’s hazel eyes. The trust that I had was ripped... Read more »
