Sixteenth President of the U.S Abraham Lincoln. Acclaimed actress Meryl Streep. Director and actor Clint Eastwood. Genius and physicist Albert Einstein. Talk show host David Letterman. The boy wizard who lived, Harry Potter. Then there’s me. What do we all have in common? We’re all Introverts.
Approximately every seven minutes, a child is bullied at school in the United States. On any given school day, more than 160, 000 students choose to stay home because of the fear of bullying. Seventy-one percent of school shootings are connected to harassment. An argument with a bully is 80 percent more likely to end in a physical fight.
A language that I believe every person should be introduced to at the high school level. I’m talking, of course, about the highly romantic language of computers, otherwise known as binary code.
Many students are very disappointed with the math system because it seems as if they are trying to make students fail. There are so many assignments and problems that are assigned to students that are due on certain deadlines which makes it hard for those who need extra help.
There is a science to parking at UHMC—You could even call it an art form. Now, claiming a parking space is not as simple as driving to school and looking for a space. The key to your success in acquiring one of these coveted spots starts at home, before you even leave your house.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Black kitty, orange kitty, white kitty, calico! I happen to have quite a colorful cat colony in the alleyway behind my house. Surprisingly, the most efficient way to deal with Maui’s feral cat problem is to have colonies instead of individual roaming around.
You can walk from one end of Front Street to the other and hear the musicians playing classics like Brown Eyed-Girl, White Sandy Beach, and ... Brown Eyed-Girl again. For a visitor, this is a nice, relaxing setting to get a glimpse of Hawai‘i. But if you live on Maui and love a variety of music genres, get ready to take a boat or a plane just to see a new act.
Human beings are prone to making mistakes, that’s just part of the package. And over time we have developed a code dividing right from wrong to be able to judge the nature of the errors which are committed. This is called law.
If we are to believe that the one percent of Americans are so over the top wealthy that they are set for this lifetime and beyond, and that forty-seven percent are dependent on the government or just don’t care, then why aren’t we hearing from the other fifty-two percent?
I love food! I love it hot, I love it cold, and when I can’t finish it I want to take it with me. Sounds easy right? Not much effort needed, just put it in a box and go. There’s just one thing: do you even know what that box is made of? Or how long it will take to decompose, if it even will. Here in Hawaii we are trying to push forward with eco-friendly technology, we even banned most plastic bags. While this is an amazing step in the green direction, it is ultimately up to us as consumers to pay attention to what we buy and use.
Being abruptly woken up by the high-pitched sound of a seven-year-old girl as she runs past my window in an obnoxiously loud manner at seven-thirty in the morning is not exactly how I want to start my Saturday. It wasn’t long after I moved into the “student housing” apartments associated with UH Maui College when I realized that I would certainly not be renewing my lease at the end of the semester.
In the history of our species, there have been 12 men who have stepped foot on the surface of another world. Until Saturday, nine of those men were still with us. Now, that number is eight. Neil Armstrong, a man whose immortal words as he made humanity’s first step on another world echoes down the millennia, is dead at the age of 82.
Back when I was very young, only 6 or 7 years old, I would cherish the time I spent at ‘Īao park. A few days ago, what I saw was far removed from the idyllic habitat of my childhood.
You’ve seen the commercials. A guy in a polo shirt extols the virtues of a little rubber band with a sticker on it, claiming you’ll lose weight, increase your metabolism, quit wetting the bed, develop the balance of a Shaolin monk, and be able to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in Icelandic backwards for the low price of $59.95.
Shouldn’t a child be allowed to live a life of happiness and security, no matter where their home is? Enjoy the innocence of their adolescence, run, play and paint the world with their imagination?
"Kicked to the curb" is no longer just an overused statement - it has now become a reality in this day and age. Every day, Dumpsters, beaches and sidewalks are becoming someone's new home.
There’s a new McCarthyism spreading like wildfire in America, but this time it has nothing to do with Communists, and it’s doing more to harm America’s youth than the Reds ever did. This time, it’s the model and actress Jenny McCarthy that you should be afraid of.
We all had a reason to walk, whether it was something that had influenced us in the past, or if it was to take a stand and say we will not let this occur in the future...
