Chain that Protects Me

By Anonymous -
My special item is a pendant on a chain that I received on my baptism when I was a very young baby. It’s really important to me. I always wear it around my neck, it is the one thing that just makes me feel safe anywhere I am. I feel protected with it. My aunt and uncle gave it to me in 2005. In a way it’s like my good luck charm. If I don’t have it on, nothing feels right. I always need it on. I feel blessed to always have it on with me.

Outsiders Going Beyond the Book: Making Connections

By Anonymous -
Reading the article, Herd Behavior made me come upon these connections to the book our class recently finished reading, The Outsiders. It made me realize not only how similar the main character Ponyboy was, but the whole Greasers group. Adding onto that, it also made me realize that both the article and The Outsiders book brought some insight to the same theme. That theme was that everybody would follow the group's behaviors. They wouldn't just focus on them, if it involved one of their group members it would involve everyone else part of the group. The article Herd Behavior states, “All of the animals band closely together in a group and, in panic mode, move together as a unit. It is very unusual for a member of the herd to stray from the movement of the unit.” (Paragraph 1)  Throughout the story, no matter what happened, the Greasers always stayed together through everything. All the rough times they went through, they fought those times and got passed them. And all those g...

My Identity

By Anonymous -
I go to school at HMS, every morning to go get my education that I need. I could define myself in many ways. For instance, my culture is Mexican/American. My family and I go to Mexico every year. We have fun and go to different areas there. Currently, I have joined the Me to We club at school. On a daily basis I consist of playing and practicing my basketball skills. I enjoy learning new things, and I will never back down from an obstacle that's blocking me because I'll always find a way to fight it.

#OneWord2018

“Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you’ve lost or you can accept that and try to put something together that’s good”. This is the one word I chose for 2018, which is resilience. This is a word that I feel can motivate and help me accomplish most of my goals in this new happy year. It represents and describes everything I need in order to achieve the goals I have. I chose this word because throughout the most rough times I will have this year, I want something that I could just think of to motivate me and make me grow stronger as a person. The three main aspects of my life I would really want to use this word for is my family, sports and school aspects. This year if any negative thing were to occur in my family, I would just try to be strong and try to make my word motivate me to its fullest ability. I’m going to stay resilient through anything I go through this year. I...
