A Sophomore now….
It’s the day every student dreams of. It’s the day every teacher dreads. It’s also the day that signifies the start of a new beginning. This Monday was my last day of school. However, in high school, the last day is not one to relax and enjoy, but one to finish reviewing the year’s work. […]

Romeo and Juliet Diorama
In the English Class, we read Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. As an exercise, we were split into groups, and each made a diorama of one scene from the play. A diorama is a model representing a scene with three-dimensional figures, either in miniature or as a large-scale museum exhibit. We used a shoe box. […]
Fiddler on the Roof

However, every generation, new ideas are developed, and the conventional ideas are tested, questioning people’s faith, and making society choose between converting to the new ways, or sticking with tradition.
