Disney By Olivia Ekeland

-
Disney is one of my top 3 things that are important to me (the other two are my friends/family and my relationship with God). I am one of the biggest Disney nerds you will ever meet due to my obsession with the movies (even though they are very cliche) and the theme park (I’m talking about World, not Land). Every year I get asked the same question, “doesn’t it get boring going to Disney all the time?” and my answer is, and always will be, no. Each Disney trip brings back different memories and different life lessons like, if a lifeguard tells you to walk, then walk (I learned that the hard way, I think I still have a scar). It is not only the memories that make Disney so much fun but its also the people I am with. My cousins, even though most of them are much older than me, make Disney unforgettable and never cease to put a smile on my face while waiting in line for hours for the Tower of Terror or Toy Story. We actually have a family tradition where we always have to play "Heads Up" while waiting to go on the Dinosaur ride in the Animal Kingdom. Seeing everyone genuinely happy after a rough couple of months of school just warms my heart. What makes things even better is that my nana records everything that happens in Disney so I always have an opportunity to reminisce any of the Disney Trips. To summarize, Disney holds a very special place in my heart.
This was the most recent Disney trip with half of my family.

    Wow! I, myself, am not a Disney fan but I can see how the circumstances of your trips can affect this. Family is vital to any trip and with good times it strengthens the bond. It's so great that your family can all bond over a thing like this!

    That looks like so much fun! I went once when I was little but I remember there were so so many things to do!

    I never really cared about Disney, but was there last summer and it was an amazing trip and now we can't wait to go back!

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...
