I think constantly about the timeline of American history and how recently the right to vote was given to many minorities. When many people speak upon the racial inequality in America, they obviously fail to remember that equality is a fairly new concept in America. Less than 100 years ago, only white ...

When I was 14-years-old, I was ready for my first job at McDonald’s. I was really excited that I got the job and ready to work for money. I worked there over two years, but I was also ready to advance my job career because I really wanted to experience something different. 14 and 15-year olds are luc...

Do you ever wonder where the birthmarks on your skin come from that you’ve had for as long as you can remember? Many people have them, but there are a number of people who don’t. Birthmarks are spots or patches on the skin that are first noticed at birth or shortly a little bit after. Birthma...
Legality and Morality
Helen Bass, Media Co- Editor
April 22, 2019
As I watch and read politics, mostly in the American spectrum, I realize the lack of emotion and empathy used by leaders. When someone comes into the political scene on the basis of helping others or has emotion to back up their stances, people call them weak and claim there's no place in politics fo...

Fairy tales are dated back to the 16th and 17th centuries. Some of the most popular tales are Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. These child-friendly tales, however, haven’t always been for children.

The World Behind A Journalist’s Salary
Kaya Perry, Silver Streams Co-Editor
April 3, 2019
One might think that a journalist makes a good amount of money because they supply the world with its news; however, journalists make around the same as teachers do. I believe that journalists are underpaid and should be given more credit for all their work. I want to be a journalist and when I found o...
Why Pay for an Pet?
Kat Turner, Silver Stream Co-Editor
April 3, 2019
Every year about 2.7 million dogs and cats living in shelters are euthanized. I think it is sad that some people would rather buy an animal from a breeder than rescue one without a home. Backyard breeders and puppy/kitten mills breed dogs to sell at very high prices. Most of these animals at these...

Will We Be Okay With How History Remembers Us?
Helen Bass, Media Co- Editor
March 22, 2019
The question that is constantly running through my mind as I read the news every night is how we will view ourselves and today's events after a period of reflection? An even tougher question, will we be okay with the way we view ourselves in history? For example, during Hitler’s rise to power, he was...
