I Am Where I've BeenIn August of 2010 I travelled to Germany for a duration of five months. For four weeks I stayed in a comprehensive language camp in Hedersleben, a small village in Saxony-Anhalt. This month-long school camp was the closest I came to a true "vacation" but I consider it to have been the... Category: edu-cation |

China: too much to talk about, so little roomFor a week in September 2011, I, with a small group from my high school’s band, went to Shanghai, China.

Getting Lost in The Floating CityWe docked at the harbor not far from city’s center, we walked through the knee high water. The tour director told us how Venice can flood with the rain and sparkle an hour later in the sun. It was hard to believe though. After some educational monologs by our tour director, we were...

My Mediterranean DiscoveryIt was three o’ clock in the morning and all forty of us were walking through the chilly, vacant airport at LAX about to board the plane to Europe. We were all wearing the same outfits: khaki colored pants and maroon colored polo shirts with a People to People logo on the upper left... Category: edu-cation |

Remember the Oklahoma City BombingThe Oklahoma City bombing of April 1995, commemorated at the site, honors the city's lost residents... There is that clock. A mundane white clock with black trim and numerals, outstanding in its ordinariness. It is the kind you have seen in every sterile office building, behind a counter or on... Category: edu-cation |
