             In high schools, there are a variety of things that other schools may share in common. There are even some schools that do not have common things. Thinking of things B.C Rain needs, yearbook class/club is an addition that is almost considerably vital. Students should be able to receive something that they can bring into the future to remember their years in high school.              In the minds of many students, they want a physical representation of memories. It would not only include photos, but events that year, clubs, and overall display of the school and its students. Also, with no yearbook, seniors' opportunity to have a senior quote is eliminated. Using the help of dedicated students who would like to join the committee, along with photographers and editors; the last worry would be cost and payments. This addition would help liven the schools' legacy to a higher extent.

My first quarter of 11th grade AP English and Composition has come to an end. I have so many thoughts and feelings regarding this class. I also feel that there are changes that must be made. At the start of this school year I never knew what to expect out of this class. Over this short time I have experienced a lot. I have been shown that being able to engage in conversations from  a wide variety of topics from political affairs, current events, and controversies are vital. This does not apply to only the class, but these things may come up in daily life or on the AP exam. I now know that what I sometimes write can be vague or off topic. Focusing on the actual point of things rather than trying to add onto what has been given is important. Going into second quarter and the rest of the school year I expect to improve on some of the things I have said and much more. I want to have a successful year full of constant growth as a student.

I see them lined among these cold hard walls So dull and grey The light sway of them attracts me So many colors full of variety A showcase of our worlds nations The flags

    A time I felt an enormous impact from nature is when I went to New Orleans for the first time. It was only a few months ago during spring break. my family and I planned to go to the aquarium while we were there. The entire time I was there all I could say was that it was a true sight to see. The town itself was much more diverse than Mobile or any other places I have been to out of state. everything had such unique looks and complex architecture. After arriving at the aquarium, I got to see so much sea life I have never seen in person. Personally I do not consider myself an animal person but their existence does intrigue me. It was very lovely getting to learn more about certain animals and all of their varieties. The moment that was breathtaking for me was when I came across the sea turtle exhibit. turtles are my favorite animal. the way they glided through the water along with their stature and look, I felt as if I had been watching a surreal movie.

    This article is purposely working to send an important message. In our society, humans and nature tend to not mix very well. The name of the trail stated in this article is called The Pacific Crest Trail. Overall, the writer wants this trail to be protected while also admiring its beauty. I have learned that this trail gained popularity from the show wild . It is one of our country's 11 Scenic Trails. It also has a website dedicated to it. I find the writer's concern for PCT very compelling. The two rules on how to be responsibly wild seem to be effective. they are to internalize no trace principles and be safe and prepared. I would like to know if these procedures have been successful recently. Moreover, has the popularity risen even greater then before. Two words that were repetitive throughout the article are care and fragile. the focus on care pertains to how important it is to take care of this land. As one of the rules say " leave no trace", they want people...
