School- Maybe Cool?

By: Igli Haxhillari



Most people think about school as another wall to get over, another issue to deal with before continuing on with the rest of their lives. Though, everyone has their issues with school, myself included, I still think of it as the crossroads to the rest of your life. My thought is that what you choose to do in school and what actions you take reflect upon you for the rest of your life. High school decisions decide if you get into a good college or not and college decisions decide whether you get a good job or not, so it really seems that your future depends on how much hard work you put into your life, because one little mistake and you are finished; although, of course there are different tasks one can put into their lives to save themselves, but not everyone cares, only when they reach the stage where they need a job to keep living they start wishing that they had worked harder in the past, but now it’s too late. They try to move up the chain, but they don’t have much to offer, so now they are working themselves to death for little pay, and they are barely surviving, and what for? Because they decided to go and party instead of studying, they decided to go have fun for the time and dread later, instead of work hard and party and relax for the rest of their lives and that is the issue with many Americans. Unless they have a way to actually be set financially, they should be saving themselves for the future. I'm not saying that money is everything, because life is more about just money, it's about exploring, learning, experiencing, just living to the fullest, but in our sad world, the only way that you are ever going to get anything is with currency and that currency needs to be earned, so back to problem number one, hard work will reward you.

    You're right that hard work will get you farther and most people don't wish they worked harder until it was too late. You're lucky to realize this now!

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-
Image
Heroes in Greek/Anglo-Saxon (I am grouping the types of historical literature we have read) writing are very obvious and much of ancient Greek literature involves a central hero or a supernatural story. In modern day English, however, the plots are less often mythical and more realistic. Since each person has a different definition for heroism, modern day heroism literature can be more varied. Ancient Greek writing is very often far-fetched, however. There are many similarities and differences between the two types of writing, but first I will run through the most significant differences. In Greek mythology, heroes were often religious figures, like demigods, while modern day writing focuses more on ordinary people. This could be because authors nowadays want the readers to be able to relate with the heroes in their stories. Greek writing had heroes that had the power to protect or destroy the people depending on prevailing circumstances. In contrast, modern day heroes are acknowledg...

My Brother by Elizabeth Hailey DeGasperis

          When I contemplate what is most important in my life, my mind is drawn to my 21-year-old brother, Tom. There are not enough words in the English language I could use to describe what he means to me. I cannot imagine the past fifteen years of my life without him. Allow me to start from the beginning.           Even when I was an infant, he never failed to take me out of my crib, strap me in my high chair, and cook scrambled eggs for us (at the tender age of six). He did this so my mother could catch up on sleep in the mornings and take care of me however he could. I only wish I could return the favour in some way. Though we have always been tight, we used to fight frequently as all siblings do. As immature children, we viewed every ordeal as monumental. The apocalypse would occur if either of us decided to give the other access to the TV remote or the pogo sticks for five minutes. However, we would always make-up in the end and...

Not Fate, Just a Coincidence - Sila Paniker

The idea of fate confuses me. I don't really understand how something will happen no matter what you do. It just seems very unlikely. I think we're constantly making choices that lead to occurrences. We make so many decisions a day that it seems impossible that fate can find a way around it all.  Awhile ago, I saw something called the Butterfly Effect, which doesn't exactly relate to fate but it makes sense to me. The idea is that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world. Essentially, small changes can have large impacts. In my head, this connects with the thousands of tiny decisions we subconsciously make each day. There are people I've met or things that have happened and it feels like it was meant to be but they're just a bunch of coincidences that had the ability to change everything. Thinking about it, there are reasons that can explain everything. For example, I met one of my closest friends a few years ago a...
