Even after playing the piano for over 10 years, I rarely realize that I think with what I call a “musician’s mind”. However, when I do, I realize how much one instrument has enriched my life. A “musician’s mind” is very different from a “non-musician’s mind”, though those who do not play an instrument would never be able to tell. Throughout the past 10 years and 3 months, each day of my life has been affected by skills and experiences I have had the privilege of possessing through music. Through playing the piano, I have learned to think of the world with a different point of view. For example, having a “musician’s mind” affects the way that I solve math problems. Though most people would view the two activities in completely different ways, I think of math problems in the same way that I think while playing the notes on a sheet of music. While playing music, one mu...

Music can do many great things, including improving test scores, cutting learning time of a certain concept in half, and increasing creativity and clarity of the mind. Research done at the the University of California, Irvine, has even shown that those who sing frequently or play a musical instrument have an IQ that is a minimum of 9 points higher.

You know I always write to you when something big is going on, haha. I figured I would give you this when you are in a good mood, so here you go  Well, I will try to make it short & sweet. I keep finding prom dresses that I like…. Not just like, I like them more than the one I bought. Not a lot of people are buying dresses like the one that I bought, & I refuse to be jealous all night. This isn’t a little, petty thing. So a few days ago, I took the initiative to call the Uniontown Prom Shoppe from school during video productions. I talked to the manager, & she asked for my name. She told me the dress had already come in, then asked what the reason for my call was. I told her the truth, which is that I keep finding more dresses that I like, & that the one that I bought isn’t like what everyone else is getting this year. So I asked her if they could do store credit, as in “switch ...

Krista Day Ms. Penn A.P. English 11 November 2011 The Scarlet Letter Comparison Essay Often, stories written about similar topics can possess writing mechanics which compare in quite a few ways . These aspects help readers to develop a better understanding of the story and its characters. Also, these similar properties help to develop conflicts, deeper meanings, and lessons meant to be taught by the story. For example, “The Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne is an American Romantic novel which focuses greatly on sin and its consequences. A typical Romantic story, “The Scarlet Letter” also focuses much on symbolism and an author's purpose which is developed by those symbols. “The Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne can be compared to “The Woman Caught in Adultery”, a biblical parable, and “A Double Standard”, by Frances E. W. Harper, because of their similar theme...

In For One More Day by Mitch Albom, we follow the incredible story of a second chance given to Chick Benetto, a former baseball star turned bitter by a case of self-destructive activities. Readers listen in as Benetto describes his life story, and reveals nostalgic details of his life changing past. As he tells his tale to the narrator on that fateful day in the bleachers of a Little League field, it is easy to see that his experiences greatly contribute to the development of a very different character at the end of the novel. For example, Chick's conflicts change throughout the story. He goes from the simple, everyday conflicts of a child, to troublesome adult conficts such as alcohol abuse and relationship problems. His relationships with his wife and daughter plummet downward as his alcohol addiction increases. After a bitter divorce, Chick even ends up being taken off of the guest li...

Usain Bolt was born on August 21, 1986 in Trelawny, Jamaica. As a child, he attended Waldensia Primary and All-Age School, where he first showed interest in running. By the time Bolt was 12 years old, he had become the school's fastest runner over the 100 metres. While he attended William Knibb Memorial High School, Bolt was urged to do track and field events after coaches recognized his potential. After he had won a few less prominent competitions, he began to become widely known after the 2002 World Championships, in which he received another gold medal. He won again in the 2003 World Youth Championships, and set a new record. Bolt turned professional in 2004, under a new coach, and went on to compete in the 2004 Athens Olympics, the 2005 World Championships, the 2006 Commonwealth Games, the 2006 Athletissima Grand Prix, the 2007 World Championships, and the 2008 Summer Beijing Olympics...

The little prince crossed the desert and met with only one flower. It was a flower with three petals, a flower of no account at all.

"Good morning," said the little prince.

"Good morning," said the flower.

"Where are the men?" the little prince asked, politely.

The flower had once seen a caravan passing.

"Men?" she echoed. "I think there are six or seven of them in existence. I saw them, several years ago. But one never knows where to find them. The wind blows them away. They have no roots, and that makes their life very difficult."

"Goodbye," said the little prince.

"Goodbye," said the flower.

After that, the little prince climbed a high mountain. The only mountains he had ever known were the three volcanoes, which came up to his knees. And he used the ex...

Swimming is an activity tht has been done since the beginning of time. It was invented when the first person who jumped in a deep amount of water learned how to move their arms and legs so as to not sink in the pool of water. Swimming is an activity that can be done throughout one's entire lifetime. It is also an activity that interests me greatly. I find it interesting because it is extremely fun and has many health benefits. I have always loved being active, and swimming is a wonderful activity to fulfill that need. Swimming can be done at many local places, including countless YMCAs and swim clubs, such as Mineral Beach and Pine Cove. Swimming can be done anywhere there is a body of water, which is just one of its great aspects. I would love to go to a place like Hawaii to pursue swimming, because they have beautiful places that are made to do just that. There are countless health benef...

Greek Era Article (B.C.) What's the newest proposal of chemistry in today's word? The atom. Democritus is back with more ideas in the field of chemistry, announced just yesterday in Abdera, Thrace, Greece. He has reasoned that the most minimal, indestructible particle of matter is the atom. He has created a mental image of it, and has proposed the fact that it is a solid amount of matter which reacts mechanically with others just like it. Democritus also predicts that further research will be carried out on this matter in the future. Discoveries from 1800-1900 Since it has recently been discovered by Ernest Rutherford that radiation contains alpha, beta, and gamma rays, our readers have requested a sort of walk down the memory lane of atomic discoveries until this point. If you are old enough, you may remember when John Dalton proposed his atomic theory, in 1803. He had said that elements ...

A genetic disorder is defined as a disease that is caused by an abnormality in an individual’s DNA. Genetic disorders can be sex-linked, mutations of genes, or caused by heredity. One genetic disorder that is sex-linked and recessive is Hemophilia. Hemophilia is a rare, potentially dangerous bleeding disorder that slows the blood clotting process greatly. The following are a few pieces of information about this particular genetic disorder. Hemophilia was officially named and discovered in 1803 by Dr. John Conrad Otto, a physician from Philadelphia, though it most likely existed for many years prior. The first written account of a "disease" named Albucasis, which was actually the first case of Hemophilia, dates back to the 2nd Century in Babylonian Talmud. The description was written by Rabbi Judah haNasi, about a woman who died after having her third child from prolonged bleeding. Hemoph...
