"Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." This is the Special Olympics motto and I can say from personal witness that even if these amazing competitors don’t win, they are the bravest people I know. Champions Together is a partnership with the Indiana Special Olympics and th...

You left today. You’ll be home in a few weeks, but it won’t be the same. Today was the last time we will live together. Next summer you will be staying in an apartment instead of at home. A few years from now you’ll be starting a new job in the real world, and I will be starting college. We will...

In the first week of summer my family takes a trip somewhere in the United States, and we have visited quite a few locations.

Have you ever been to The Badlands? How about Devil’s Tower? Custer State Park? A year ago I would’ve said no to these questions, but now I can say yes to all of them. This summer my family went on vacation to South Dakota and Colorado. Even though my family is insane and can drive me crazy sometimes,...

A few months ago my older sister Maddie bought a golden-doodle puppy. Very quickly she realized that Oliver is an extremely headstrong and blatantly disobedient, unless, of course, you have a dog treat, stick, or other toy.

We all have that one teacher that drives us absolutely insane. Maybe it’s not actually that way, but it might be that you actually drive them insane.

For the first time in four years, I haven’t been completely intimidated by the seniors, I haven’t had to worry about being in an upperclassman’s way, and I haven’t felt like one of the smallest kids in the hall. (Yes, I’m still short but these junior high kids are tiny.) Since I am an upper...

Excited seniors, back to school pictures, and a few tears shed (from the parents of course), all parts of a senior’s last first day. Seniors stormed the hallway without the true realization that we were the oldest students roaming the halls maybe it will hit us eventually or maybe we won’t realize it...
