Coronavirus Relief Fund, Please Read!! - Chris Byrnes

-
My friend Georgia and I started a coronavirus relief fund. We want to help those in need during this unprecedented time and, so, we made a gofundme page. All proceeds will go toward a local charity for those in need. We'd be very grateful if you donate. Anything helps even if it's only something as small as $1.


Here's the gofundme link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/musicforcorona?utm_medium=social&utm_source=instagram&utm_campaign=p_na+share-sheet

What YOU can do to help:

 1. Donate money. It can big or small, any donation truly helps. Thank you, in advance, if you do donate.

2. Spread the word. Use Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook, text family, and friends, etc... The more people who hear about it, the higher chances of getting more donations for the charity, and the more people we can help.

  • If you have any public social media accounts (i.e. Instagram), use hashtags to reach more people. Try to use as many as you can (Instagram allows a max of 30 hashtags).

For updates in the near future, just check @_classical_music_fanpage_ on Instagram. In 8th grade, we did a gofundme and raised almost $500 for the middle school orchestra at only 300 followers. Now, with almost 10k followers (9.6k right now, so close!), we expect to raise a lot more and are psyched to see the results and help a lot more people in need. I think it's great we can bring people together via music but now, it's important to bring together for a different cause.


We're gonna get through this. I guarantee that it will end. Yet, it's important we don't leave behind others when it does though.

*also, creds to Georgia for making the photo below and setting up the gofundme.*

    You might get more donations if you choose a charity and people know exactly where their money is going. Just a thought!

    I told you to list the charity that you are giving the money to.

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...
