    - - The most embarrassing moment of my sophomore year was how I earned my nick name, Crash. It all started right after school when I turned on to the busiest street by the school. First, I pulled up right behind this truck at a stop sign. After a second, a fellow older student told me that I was really close and that I was going to hit the truck in front of me. At the moment, I was trying to tell the kid that I was giving a ride to get back in the car because he was hanging out the window. Since I was distracted, I thought the long line of traffic had started to move, but it hadn’t. In the blink of an eye, I hit the back of the truck in front of me. The devastation sunk in. I was so worried that I damaged the truck but all that I did was scratch his bumper. Lucky for him! Then it came time to look at my car. My car was ruined. The hood was buckled, the front end was pushed back, and my headlights were broken. Humiliated and scared, I still had to drive my totalled care home. During school that year, I never did hear the end of what had happened that day. -- by Tiffany Haggerty

    - - There are three different types of rock music, alternative rock, classic rock, and hard rock also known as metal. Alternative rock features a steady bass drum laying down the beat, with easy flowing guitar riffs over the top. The bass line is toned town, and the lyrics are sung with intensity and authority. Depending on the song, the guitars can either be acoustic guitars or electric guitars. Classic rock combines a steady driving bass drum sound, with high snare overtones, steady and often repeating guitar riffs, and an intensive bass line. The guitars are more often than not all electric guitars, and distortion is rarely used. The lyrics are sung with style and enthusiasm. Hard rock, or metal, features a hard-rolling bass drum with an abundant amount of cymbal work. This style of rock uses several electric guitars with heavy distortion to bring a very intense sound. A hard, intense, driving bass line rounds out the style. The lyrics aren’t really sung so much as screamed. It doesn’t matter what your preference is, each different style of rock music is unique on its own. -- by Kristian Anderson

    - - Social engineering is defined as any method which tricks people to share personal information through the use of technology. The social component in this scheme means that there is a reliance on various psychological tricks and on the gullibility of users rather than technical hacking. Social engineering also refers to various malicious acts online such as phishing, spamming, and pretexting.

    - - As a teenager in the late 1960s and early 1970s, I was always pretty tolerant about radical clothing styles, but more and more today I find myself asking, “why do these kids want to look so weird?” For example, I do not understand why a boy would wear a baseball cap backwards on his head. To me, this just looks goofy, like something a person would do and then talk in a really stupid voice to make his friends laugh. Under the backward cap, the boy probably has his hair in a buzz cut, except for one long strand of hair reaching halfway down his back. I can’t imagine who thought up this hairstyle, unless it was an ex-monk. Furthermore, every boy I see today seems to be wearing a t-shirt that looks ten sizes too big for him and comes down below his knees, or, if not that, he’s got all his clothes on inside out or backwards or both! Then, there are the girls. Since when did it become stylish to wear your underwear on top of your regular clothes? Who decided that it was attractive to combine a white t-shirt and a long, sheer, flowing jumper with a pair of huge black jackboots? I’m so confused. It all just makes me nostalgic for the days of frayed bell-bottoms, tie-dyed tank tops, strands of hippie beads, and headbands circling heads of long, stringy hair.

    - - Although I raised Marcee and Obbie from puppies, they have completely diverse personalities. Obbie is a six-year-old male toy Pomeranian whereas Marcee is a one-year-old female Boston terrier. Obbie is small and soft, unlike Marcee who has bristly hair and is much bigger. Marcee insists on sleeping on the bed, under the covers every night. On the other hand, Obbie will only sleep on the floor, under the bed. Obbie is tremendously loyal and uptight; however, Marcee is hyper and friendly to anyone she meets or sees. Around other dogs, Marcee cowers to the larger dog, yet Obbie will always stand his ground, never giving up until he is scolded. Given that they were both treated the same way all their life, it is hard to believe that they are so different in everything they do.

    - - Deforestation is a serious problem because forest and trees are not just pretty to look at, they do an important job making the earth ́s environment suitable for life. They clean the air, store water, preserve oil, and provide homes for animals. They also supply food, fuel, wood products, and paper products for humans. In the past fifty years, more than half of the world ́s rainforests have been destroyed. Today, the forest of the world is being deforestation continues, the world ́s climate may change, floods may become more common, and animals will die.
        One solution to the problem of deforestation is to use less paper. If you use less paper, fewer trees will be cut for paper making. How can you use less paper? One answer is to reduce your paper use by using both sides of the paper when you photocopy, write a letter, or write an essay. A second answer is to reuse old paper when you can, rather than using a new sheet of paper. The backs of old envelopes are perfect for shopping list or phone messages, and you write a rough draft of an essay, write it on the back of something else. A final answer is to recycle used paper products instead of throwing them away. Most schools, offices, and districts have some kind of recycling center. If you follow "the tree Rs"- reduce, reuse, and recycle-you can help save the world ́s forest.

    - - Laughter is one of the greatest healing devices known to man. Laughter is powerful and can help people in many different ways. It has the power to cure something as little as a bad day or to heal the wounds of a terminally ill person. Laughing has helped create the smile which is the universal sign of well-being. Generally, individuals who do not laugh live miserably and have unhappy lives. Dr. Robert Holden found out that smiling and laughing releases endorphins in the brain which gives people an overall happy well-being. Using comedy, many doctors have stimulated the healing process in manic depressants and fatally ill patients giving them hope and ambition. In many clinics, laughter is being used in replacing anti-depressants and reduces the need for pain killers. Take comedians for example, they usually live long and happy lives. Putting a smile on faces and laughs in souls is what makes life complete. Laughter helps heal people and brightens spirits for a better and healthier life. Laughing is a sign of joy and hope and keeps people normal and the world happy. Using the techniques of laughter and happiness is the best medicine known to man. Laughter is the universal sign of well-being and happiness within health. Laughing brightens the spirit and heals the mind and body of people who allow it to overcome them. So, try a smile and laugh on for size and live a longer happier life with loved ones. -- by Jace Oeleis
