A Tribute To The Teachers Who Go Above And Beyond
YS Journal

Thank you to the teachers who take the time out of their short classes to learn about each student. Whether it be their home life, extracurriculars, interests, career possibilities, hobbies or anything.

These teachers offer to stay after school to understand what might prohibit classroom performance. These are the teachers who see potential in each and every student, regardless of classroom performance. These teachers realize that everybody has the chance to be something in life, and it has to start with the right person. These teachers learn to see the best in each student, regardless of how they act. They can take a stone cold heart and open it up to be something much more caring and loving. They believe that even the shyest student can become something much more. Most of their assignments have no boundaries; they allow the most creative kids free realm to "think outside of the box."

The Arts are a huge part of many students lives, and you can find these teachers at musicals, dance recitals, piano recitals and more. These educators will change the way the next generation of students goes out into the world. The people of tomorrow start with teachers. These teachers understand that life happens, and sometimes students cannot turn their work in on time. Sometimes an extention is needed. When a student is not interested in the assignment, or doesn't participate in class, they pull them aside and find out why, instead of forcing them to work.

Thank you to these teachers, you are changing the next generation for the better. You are creating a group of young adults who can go out, take on the world, and make society a better place for anyone. Any idea is accepted, nothing is "not good enough" or "impossible." You create hope in students lives, often when they have none. Thank you for doing your job to the best of your ability. Thank you for all that you do.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
