Meet CHRISTIAN SPIVEY – WWE COMMENTATOR!!

When I was growing up, I had a dream job. However, my dream job is very unconventional. I grew up wanting to be a ring announcer or commentator for the WWE. I constantly played out matches with action figures, calling the action for no audience, dreaming of one day being part of the real show. […]

Everything Happens For A Reason

It all started when I was eight years old, and my mother was diagnosed with B-cell leukemia. I was too young to understand how truly sick she was. I was scared to visit her at the hospital because I thought it was contagious. But I think the truth behind that, is that I did not […]

I’m James Moore – A Survivor!!

Our world is an incredibly busy system. There are many different world issues I could discuss that have been talked about for generations, like poverty, healthcare, violence, etc. However, I want to pose a topic that is often and easily overlooked.

Meet A Survivor – Olivia Waldenberg!

A stabbing pain rung through my heart as my achy and trembling body sat in disbelief. My eyes slowly started to swell up with tears. I held them back without a blink; afraid I would look weak if I let the tears roll down my face. Keeping it together as best as I could, my […]
