Student writing: Discovering the art of art
Jan 31, 2018
I believe that art isn’t just drawings and sculptures; it is a life skill that can be discovered and improved upon. It’s anything you want it to be, no matter what others think.
I didn’t always know what art was, or how it worked, but ever since I took art classes in school, I’ve been given a...
Student writing: A game of lessons
Jan 31, 2018
Golf is a game of lessons. It’s a mental game and a game of strategy. I believe that golf helps take me take life one step at a time.
There are times that I have really struggled with letting one bad shot or hole affect the rest of the round. My lack of mental focus jeopardized the majority of...
Student writing: Always have respect
Jan 31, 2018
Working at a care center has taught me respect and how my actions can affect other people.
When I get to work it’s easy for me to tell when a resident hasn’t been taken care of correctly. Residents will have a bad attitude; they become cranky and aggravated and refuse their cares when it’s time to...
Student writing: Batter up
Jan 31, 2018
I believe that life is like a game of softball; there is always going to be a pitch coming in and the only thing to do is to frame it.
Framing a pitch is an action done by the catcher when they catch a ball and then try to quickly move it into the strike zone so that the umpire sees and calls it a...
Student writing: Connections After Death
Jan 31, 2018
The last day my dog was alive was one of the best days of his life. My family wanted to make sure that our 15-year-old Golden Retriever went out with a bang, so what did we do? We gave him a 24-hour, all-you-can eat, hot dog buffet.
I remember going to the store with my family and buying at...
Student writing: Hard work
Jan 31, 2018
I believe that work is not just a job. It’s a place I really enjoy being and it’s a part of life. I work on a dairy farm by myself and sometimes it gets to be a lot. But most of the time I absolutely love it.
When I was 14, I wanted a different job from the one I had. My neighbor down the road was...
Student writing: The most influential people in our lives
Jan 31, 2018
I believe that family and friends are the most influential people in our lives. Our experiences we have with the people around us mold us into the people that we are; that makes them very important. And without them, life would get very boring.
My friends and family have always been really...

It will be the first opportunity many of us have to formally voice our opinions on issues like lower taxes, better schools, and constitutional freedoms. Attendees are welcome to participate or simply observe.

Initiative foundation grateful for partners
Jan 24, 2018
With the barrage of news these days from the ongoing fires and flooding in California to the terror attacks around the globe and of course the consistent thrum of politic divide, it is still important to sit back and reflect on what to be grateful for at this time of year. And, there is so much...
Letter: Beach rejuvenation possible, if we get off our duffs
Jan 24, 2018
To the editor:
The light at the end of a cold winter is the anticipation of warm sunny days at our beautiful beach.
Unfortunately control of the beach is in the hands of people who obviously view it as a nuisance, an afterthought, when it should be one of Lake City’s premier attractions.
Travel...
