Have you ever observed the humble golden creature swimming circles in the fishbowl, and wondered if it dreamed of a bigger pond? Turns out that a little fish in a big pond can cause big issues.

I'm in middle school, and we already have a cell phone ban in place. If someone is caught with their phone during the school day, they can get reported and get a detention.

Furries and therians (I hoped I spelt those correctly) get lots of hate these days for simply existing. They’ve received death threats, and hate comments, and sometimes physical abuse for being themselves.

It is well known that cell phones can cause many problems in and out of school. Previously teachers have had the opportunity to tell their students to place their phones in “phone pockets” near the door.

Write a story, poem, or create your own way to express what you want to be when you grow up. This could be written about what you want to have accomplished by the next four, ten, twenty, or even fifty years.

As much as I love Vermont, and it loves me, I love to travel outside of it. I travel to see the sights and visit all the places I can. I especially like to visit foreign countries.

You want to know what I fear? I fear change. Change comes and goes and leaves things different than they once were. Some change is good, while some is malevolent. Change kills and creates. 

Peace means there is no more fear, only excitement and joy and adrenaline. Peace means you are safe, wrapped in a blanket of love and solace.

I don't hate the idea of banning phones from schools, but there are some things that I feel that the bill's (which would have made it so phones were banned during the school day) writers might have failed to take into consideration.

I strongly believe the ban of cellphones would have a different impact on each person, I am the type of student to stay off my phone until my work is complete.

April is Poetry Month, Words that weave and enchant, Maya Angelou is a favorite poet, Her wisdom like a soothing balm.

Peace looks like a quiet meadow on a sunny day, where the grass sways gently in the breeze and flowers bloom in vibrant colors. Birds sing joyfully in the sky, and the only sound is the soft rustling of leaves in the trees.
