This page features Christina's work on Seaworld. She delivers a shocking report on what happens inside of a seemingly friendly and all loving setting. She writes: "Some people say it’s a life changing experience; the tricks and stunts these creatures do are almost magical.What many individuals don’t know is what happens behind the scenes of the killer whale performances. They are taken from their natural habitats and put in collections of tanks filled with chlorinated water..." Click here to visit the site featuring this report.

In her collaboration with another student, Stephanie wrote an essay overviewing a spoken word piece by Suli Breaks and a TED talk given by Lizzie Velazquez, and showcasing how we overcome challenges and become the driving force of change. She writes: "All in all, society will always have an influence on what we think of ourselves and what we see in the mirror at the end of each day. But it is up to us, as individuals, as members of society and as human being to be the change that we want to see in the world."

This page holds a resarch project conducted one year ago by Luc. It tells of the surmounting problem that student debt poses to us all. He writes: "As I am writing this and as you are reading this, the national debt and the student debt is growing. Myself and hundreds, maybe even thousands, of people are working to bring awareness to the problem of student debt. It is a plague, and it has to be stopped."

In this enthralling digital story, Denice shares what would be a traumatic and horrifying experience for any of us. It is accompanied by an engrossing use of speech and a hopeful ending. She writes: "Sobs overpowered me as I cried, prayed, and begged my sister to wake up.  I so wanted to return to that spot on the couch beneath my blanket and make this all a nightmare from which I could awake.  But this was real; this was life – my life."

This is Nicole's e-Portfolio home page. Her design emulates a calming, night time, soothing feeling. She writes: "Purple. The color of royalty. Grey. The color of security. Yellow. The color of joy...I have taken the words 'To Create Yourself' from the quote "Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself" by George Bernard Shaw. I find this quote to be extremely touching because it is so true. So many young people are worried about finding who they are supposed to be when they don't realize these are the years that you create the person you are going to be in 15-20 years."
