Trauma Club
You spend all night looking for that perfect 30 second-1 minute monologue. Has to be the right genre that matches the play. You spend about two hours memorizing it. You lose so much sleep over it. You wake up wishing you had more time to sleep, but the alarm clock disappoints. You get ready for the day going through that monologue over and over again. You kick yourself because you're messing up lines that were otherwise stronger last night. You get to school and greet your fellow thespians, encouraging them, saying how they'll be great while they're as nervous as you. You get through the first half of classes reciting every word to your monologue. You get to lunch, but how can you eat? Every breath you take feels like you're gonna puke. No, you have to keep practicing. You WANT to make the cut! It HAS TO BE PERFECT! You make it through the rest of your classes. You wait for the director to call your name. You know what time you signed up for but everyone else is quick so you might go in early. You must use this time to prepare. Then you hear it. Your name. The time has come. You walk in with as much confidence as you can muster up. You introduce yourself and say where you got your monologue from. You recite each word with so much character and emotion as humanly possible.

The unreasonable morning start times for schools work against the natural sleep patterns of teens. Lack of sleep can result in decreased brain power, as well as an increased chance of mood disorders. Students need a recommended eight and a half to nine and a half hours to properly function (Richmond). This is why school should start no earlier than 9 AM.
Maya KrapfPublished 6 years ago in EducationThe Difference You Make
We met for a conference today with a mom and a student. The student has, at least situationally speaking, anxiety that is paralyzing, and anxiety that brings the child to tears. She was sitting with her mom and a group of adults she had never met before, and we were all talking about her. This meeting could have been a case study in how we, as a society, should address and nurture matters of mental health the way we should, the way we need to; how we meet the needs of the whole child, something we don’t seem to talk about quite as much these days.
Mike LefkoPublished 6 years ago in EducationWriting Saved My Life
I have been writing for three years now. Words are more captivating than anything else that a lad like me can fathom. During my school years, I loved reading comic books and bible stories. They made me happy and added value to my life. The tales of Samson and Delilah gave me a glimpse of what happened in ancient times. In high school, my desire to read was growing, this made me to join academic related clubs to improve my learning skills. These clubs were very helpful to me and other students who joined in later. I learned so much about African history and my country, just in few week my grades changed and I began taking lead in history and geography subjects. You can imagine how a leap of faith can change a person’s life.
