A Competitor and an Arbitrator too…
A referee is one of the most important parts of the game, responsible for controlling and maintaining the safety of the players. They hold the game in their palms and can change a team’s fate in an instant. Occasionally, they also face lamentations, curses, swears or the like. It is a tough job, but if […]

Kisses…
After completing my line drawing, I had an abundance of time remaining in class. So, I decided to do one of the other projects available. This drawing is of a Hershey’s Kisses, using chocolate black and white charcoal pencils on black paper. Since the color scheme available to me was very limited, I had to […]
Got it….!!!
Have you ever taken a minute to observe the world around you? If you did, you may have noticed that everything we see is made of lines and shapes. A line drawing utilizes these basic qualities, and displays this using variations of black and white. The thickness of the lines are used to make up […]
An unexpected visitor…
As I was working today evening, we had an unexpected event just outside our door. We heard a few bangs on the door, and thought someone was outside. We opened the door, only to realize that no one was there. We were baffled, and then realized it was not a person: A huge squirrel was […]

FWEET…. I have my whistle!
Referees are among the most important part of any sport. They control the game, and hold the emotions of every fan in their palms, are able to make them cheer at certain times, and hold their heads in sorrow on other occasions. They can be praised one day, and booed and jeered on another. They […]

Quincy High Vs North Quincy High – 2018 Season
Rivalries are some of the best parts of sports, for both fans and players alike. Great friends off the pitch become bitter rivals on the pitch. They can bring a team together, or tear them apart. Lift them up, or crash them down. Make them heroes or zeros. I have gotten the privilege of experiencing […]

The past week has been a huge transition for me. It was my first full week of high school. The last transition I have made before going out into the world as an adult. As the week has passed by, I have realized that high school is extremely different from middle school. At Central, we […]
Bye Bye Central…!!!! Will always miss you…
School is the place where we learn what we need for success in life. It is a place to have fun, make new friends, and prepare for our adult lives. However, all good things must come to an end, and so is the case with me. June 25th was the last day of school. However, […]

Gettysburg, PA – Eighth grade trip – 2018
Sometimes in school, it takes more than just a picture and a lesson to learn about a place. In these cases, a field trip can prove useful. That was exactly the case on Wednesday, when me and my classmates traveled on a 3 day trip to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It was the scene of the Battle […]
