The movie Selma came out December 25, 2014. I saw this movie when I was in the 6th grade. I believe the actors worked really hard on this movie and from their performance, their hard work paid off. The actors’ performance was amazing.

A few months ago, Netflix released a new original series called 13 Reasons Why. The show was released a few months ago on March 31, 2017, and ever since the show premiered, it’s become a hit and has been picked up for a second season.

ade Thirlwall is a member of the girl group, Little Mix. Ever since she was little, she was highly obsessed with Disney. Every time I saw her in interviews, she was always wearing bows and clothes relating to Disney characters.

I got an opportunity to visit at Capitol Hill for a day. I want to study law when I get older and a chance to see Congress up close is something not many students can take advantage of. The lady who led us was a staff member in the Homeland and Security division of Congress.

In the Fall of 2017, I will be attending the United States Naval Academy on a football scholarship. I chose to attend the academy not only to fulfill my dream of being a division one football player but to also support my family as I continue to get older.

I am writing this story about former Knight and current Jacksonville Jaguar, Yannick Ngakoue because he is where I hope to be one day. In about three to four years, I hope to be an NFL football star. Becoming an NFL football player has been a career I've been pursuing since I was a little boy.

Attending Friendship Collegiate in my senior year has been stressful. Since the beginning of the year, I have been overwhelmed with work and deadlines. No one would imagine how heavy my workload is because I’m not the person who complains. I would just get my work done.

Imagine yourself sitting at home and all of a sudden your head feels like it’s about to explode. You feel so much pressure and then you feel nauseous. Light and sound bother you to the point where you have to sit in the dark and turn off the TV or your phone. Your first thought would be “I’m having a headache,” but this is something more than an average headache. This is a migraine.

From April 17 - April 19, 2017, three reporters from Tech Prep and two reporters from Collegiate had the chance to take a trip to New Haven, CT over spring break. We were able to tour Yale University’s famous Beinecke Library to view the Harlem Renaissance exhibit. We toured the entire Yale campus along with the engineering school. We stayed at the Friendship News Network director Ms. Kaufman’s house in Hamden, CT which is about 20 minutes from New Haven.

Rogues Rebellion, the graphic novel I read was amazing. It’s a DC comic. It is about a group of criminals called the Rogues: Captain Cold, Heatwave, Mirror Master, Golden Glider, Weather Wizard, and Trickster. They’re trying to save their city from the “Crime Syndicate” (the evil earth-tree counterpart of the Justice League) but also trying not to get found.
