For every ideal or goal comes the question of where do you start. I’ve met many peers that want to enter the business world, yet lack the experience or knowledge to do so. Typically, I suggest them the Junior Achievement Company Program. What Am I Here to Discuss? I’m here to look back on Company…
School years often end with an onslaught of summer laziness. Before that lethargy strikes, you could make a whole deal of improvement this summer holiday. Every single person I’ve talked to has felt unfulfilled with their productivity over the break. I might be biased though because all my peers are also lazy and stressed high…
A tiny fox and little lark Strode through the forest on an untrodden path Guided by the song of a sleepy hermit Which echoed through the words to every nearby crevice Through the underbrush and from the canopy The pair of small creatures fell into a spacious glade Sunlight poured in and bathed an…

A little tavern off the side of the main street might prove inconspicuous And that’s true with the low grumblings at the tired hour of mid day Soft layers of light filter through the half closed blinds Onto a table held in a stagnant game of cards You’d think the players were caught…
The more you think about it, the more confusing art becomes. Under the branch of esthetics, philosophers have studied and argued about the beauty of art. Therefore, aesthetic appreciation is the acknowledgement of this beauty within art. Measuring Art Since each individual’s tastes vary based on their preferences, there isn’t an accepted universal metric of…
I’ve always been blown away by the models that artists can make through origami. I remember going to a friend’s house years ago, and their sister was a huge origami fan. They had paper figures and animals lining many of their shelves, and I was highly impressed. Seeing and even making some of the one-sheet…
Kevin Penkin, the type of composer to name one of his songs, “Music”, as if deliberately making it hard to find online. I’d like to talk about this artist today and specifically write about Florence, my favorite orchestral album. What is Florence? Florence is a video game about a young woman named Florence Yeoh.…

On rainy days You might see a lone figure walking through the empty streets Depending on the time or place Cars might run past them as they continue to tread on the soaked sidewalks But in their damp blue poncho And translucent grey umbrella They soil the puddles with each step Leaving muddy footprints…
Context is necessary, and so is the need to finish up procrastinated English homework. This poem was created as an explanatory myth, tampering with the theme of resurrection. Greek Mythology is full of similar stories in regards to flowers. I thought to do the same, but instead have my theme as the creation of birds.…
For the 2019-2020 year, I joined a program called Junior Achievement (JA). Specifically, I joined the Company Program. Essentially, it takes a group of teens together, and you have to create an entire company and product from scratch. This is my experience in the program, as a first-timer into JA. What is Junior Achievement? Junior…
Vines entangled the crumbling temple, holding its shattered pieces intact. Trees that stood high above, casted massive shadows beneath. Their thick trunks could have stood there for a millenia. Daniel stood on a rocky patio, far overgrown with grass and weeds. In reality though, it was probably more foliage than rock. In a moment, he…
