't raise enough money, it would 've been game over. This wouldn 't be a problem though, if we had more money in our budget to do our competitive season.

I am not saying that their program isn’t as important, but we, the EMBC, require more funding for our award winning program. A way we can do that is by moving around

Stepping off the Greyhound bus, Louisa was greeted by the familiar scent of the ocean spray and gasoline exhaust. Atlantic City, New Jersey has been her home for as long as she could remember.

She never thought that she would be back to her home town. Hopping in a taxi, she went to her childhood home to drop

If we had more money in our budget to do our competitive season, we would not have to say goodbye to competing. The program receives a mere $1000, for the whole band program, as said by the band director. That is not enough for our program.

I am for seatbelts being on school buses for the simple fact that anything could happen on a bus even an accident and the students should be safe. The issue of

Involving School Children Pedestrians When school is in session, children are exposed to traffic hazards when they cross streets in front of their schools, when getting on and off buses, and while walking along neighborhood roads. Unfortunately, this exposure causes fatalities every year by motorists who were distracted, intoxicated, negligent, or failed to observe school zone or school bus laws.

August 21, 2017 was the best Monday of my entire life. This Monday was the beginning of my college life at UNCC. Interestingly enough, on that day, a solar eclipse was also occurring.

scarborough Maine when Billy got on the bus to go to school. It was the middle of the winter and there was a lot of snow. The bus could barely get up hills and around corners because of how slippery it was. About half way to school at one of the stops a guy that know one's seen before climbs on the bus. He starts talking to the bus driver but I couldn't hear what they were saying because I was in the back of the bus. After a little bit the bus driver got off the bus and walked to the back to look at his
