Independent Work Days and Why I love them

                                       Independent Work Days and Why I love them                By Robby Cerra



             Independent workdays, the best day of the week, right above independent reading days, of course. Though how can one period of the day brighten up the rest of my day? Firstly, that soft cushy zebra chair that eases my restless body while my mind focuses in on my homework knowing that I'm not even going to attempt to finish it at home. Even when I have no more work due, and my book has been read, I could start on the month's newest assignments or, (Mrs. Kopp please don't read this...) possibly even finish my math homework that should have been done last night... Nonetheless, no matter what I'm doing during Independent workdays, I am loving it. Furthermore, I'm not the only student that loves these kinds of days. From three other students, here are their thoughts on Independent workdays. Anonymous student #1 said, "In my opinion, the independence and freedom granted by these workdays help instill hard-working morals in students and prepare them for a more college-like atmosphere." And student #2 upheld the same premise saying; "They're honestly so fun, I mean like, sometimes I just play games on my computer, but I also work." Following up with, "This is anonymous right?" Finally, the last interviewee noted the lesser stress levels they have, stating that; "Independent workdays help to lessen homework and make students have less stress." Building on these concepts, Independent workdays reduce negative parts in a student's day and in school, not only taking the pain off school but also making school just a little bit relaxed.

    I agree with your statement that independent work days and reading days, relieve some of the stress we find at school. Also, I thought it was cool that you interviewed people. Good job!

    They are meant as a way to reduce stress and workload and give you some independence. Not to play games though....

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-

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...
