Daily Lives of Our Heroes

by Korrina Plair and Mercedes Santiago

Throughout the world, there are many people that we call our heroes on a daily basis. These include police officers, doctors, firefighters, EMT’s, etc. 

Anyone can be a hero and people see others like their parents and family members as heroes. A hero is a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.

Police officers and doctors play a really big role in society simply because their job never ends. They eat, sleep, and breathe their work which is why they are our heroes. Their hard work and dedication are put into the community to make sure everything is okay.

Everybody knows that getting straight A’s is not easy, it is hard work and a ton of studying. 

Studying does not always mean stressing about something or just stress in general. Most students don't know this but stress is not a natural part of studying.

There is a big difference between stress and success. Students think in their mind that stress is proof that they are good students. A recent study shows that a third of the time students spend studying they’re actually confused, stuck or feeling worried. Stress is really a sign that your study time is not going so well.

Schools Need More Autism Awareness

by Taylor Ephraim

If Autism was taught in classrooms, normally developing children would understand these issues some people have no choice of living with. Kids in school with autistic characteristics are easy targets for their typically developing peers.  

A study in The New York Times shows that children on the autism spectrum disorder are bullied nearly five times more often than their typically developing peers. Parents of autistic kids think the rate is even higher than that, some feel as if their designated school is unsafe for their child.
