Instead of being told how to learn, we’re encouraged to find our own way to learn, and we get to learn in an envir […]

However, I found that most of them didn’t fit into a single category. So I created a visual with five categories : politics, h […]

Sure, it’s prevalent, but I’ve been looking at something that affects me and my peers […]

I chose again to focus on the use of the confederate flag, and so I had some conversations with people this week pertaining to the subject.  

 

Something interesting came up when I was talking to my mom. Th […]

At Lamoille Valle Field Days this summer, I s […]

I 100% understand where you’re coming from. My middle school had a strict and sexist dress code last year, and I spearheaded a petition to change it. The petition was successful in changing the dress c […]

I feel like sometimes that’s all we need to remind ourselves that learning isn’t tedious. It’s not somethi […]
