corner just as I heard an automated door open only
a few yards from where the rest of our group
stood. I then watched in horror as each of my
former group members was pierced with a storm of
bullets. Blood splattered onto the wall behind
them and the lifeless bodies slumped to the ground

My high school was relatively small. To put it
into perspective, I graduated with eighty-six
people. In my class there were the usual cliques.
There were the smart kids, the athletes, the
cheerleaders, the drug users, and the slackers.
But somehow I didn't fit into all of this. I
wasn't, and still am not, the smartest person in
the history of the world. I'm way too clumsy to
play any sports. I wasn't the right size to be a
cheerleader. I wouldn't even consider using drugs,

Destructive Celebration In Sports

Increasingly we read and talk of sports fans that
celebrate their team's victories by destroying
public property. Examples of this behavior include
starting fires, pulling down signs, awnings, and
banners. To discourage these types of behaviors
there should be more security before, during and
after a sports event. There should also be a great
penalty for those who choose to commit these
crimes. During my sophomore year in Valley Stream
South High School, there was a wrestling match
that ended wi...

Played An Important Role Oskar Schindler

The paper I decided to do was on "Schindler's

had not really noticed the many ways in which the
director, Steven Spielberg, used the camera to
emphasis a "million words." It was interesting,

I was able to see the importance of the way the

significant points of a film. I decided to
