My story

The story of my life

Since the age of two weeks, I have never lived in one country for more than three years due to my parents' work with the U.S. State Department. My mother and father were stationed in Bosnia when I was born, and because of a State Department regulation, they traveled back to the United States for my birth. Afterward, we returned to Bosnia for the final year of their assignment.Following our time in Bosnia, we moved to Mexico, where I had the opportunity to attend school and quickly became fluent in Spanish. However, our time in Mexico was cut short, and instead of enrolling me in the next grade, my parents opted for homeschooling for the remaining months of our stay. This decision had a profound impact on me, as it allowed for a more personalized and flexible learning experience. We left Mexico when I was five years old.Our next chapter took us to Virginia, where I continued homeschooling. Although it was challenging to see my friends go to school while I remained at home, this period was a time of anticipation, as we were preparing to relocate to Haiti. However, due to safety concerns, we were reassigned to a small island in the Caribbean. This unexpected change turned out to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.We moved to Jamaica a few months before my sixth birthday, and it was here that I experienced the happiest period of my childhood. Living in a walled compound, I had the freedom to explore and made a wide circle of friends. We spent three wonderful years in Jamaica, and although I was deeply saddened to leave, we eventually moved back to the United States.Upon returning to Tennessee, we embarked on a month-long road trip across the U.S. and Canada, which allowed me to gain a broader perspective on the world. It was after this journey, when I was around 9 years old, that I entered a traditional school setting for the first time. Thanks to the education I received through homeschooling, I quickly excelled academically. By the time I reached the fourth grade, I had founded the first student-run club in the school’s history—a chess club.Currently in the fifth grade, I am excited to continue my education and am preparing to enroll in an innovative “modern one-room schoolhouse” that emphasizes personalized learning. I look forward to further developing my skills and embracing new opportunities.Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Celebrate Death Water!

• By Owen Glass

It’s March, and you know what that means—another month packed with ridiculous national days. Here’s a quick list to get you started:National Health Care Rights Day – March 22
National Sunkist® Citrus Day – March 1
National Minnesota Day – March 1
National Dadgum That’s Good Day – March 1
Finisher’s Medal Day – First Sunday in March
National Soup It Forward Day – March 3
Marching Music Day – March 4
National Dress Day – March 6
Now, personally, I don’t think America’s health care system is something worth celebrating. But here we are, with a bizarre collection of national days, all crammed into one month. Let’s dive in.First up: National Health Care Rights Day. Let’s be real—American health care rights are a joke. If you want a taste of actual health care, maybe consider packing your bags for Europe. Trust me, you’ll be better off.Next, we have National Sunkist® Citrus Day. Fun fact: Sunkist packs a whopping 44 grams of sugar. So, instead of celebrating, let’s call it what it is—Death Water. This sugary concoction exists solely to shave years off your life, so enjoy if you dare.Then, there's National Minnesota Day. Why? Seriously, why? Every state must have a national day by now, but does anyone care? This feels as necessary as National Wear Sandals Day—it’s an exercise in pointlessness.National Dadgum That’s Good! Day. No comment, except this: as I read the list on March 1st, I made sure to say “Dadgum that’s good!” every time I saw someone eating. It was a mission.Let’s skip over Finisher’s Medal Day—I’m not sure what it is or why it exists. No idea.Now, National Soup It Forward Day is actually kind of wholesome. The idea is to spread love through soup, and I’m here for that. I already know what I’ll be doing on March 3rd.Marching Music Day—okay, this one’s actually pretty decent. If you’re into music made with actual instruments (not just auto-tune and mixers), then marching music is a solid choice. I respect it.Finally, we have National Dress Day. This is the day we celebrate shelling out absurd amounts of cash for a strip of fabric that you wrap around yourself. Yup, fashion!So, in the grand scheme of things, some of these national days are ridiculous, some are alright, and a few are actually kind of nice. But mostly, they’re just... ridiculous.Oh, and sorry I didn’t post in February—things got really busy. Anyway, keep adding to your pen cup, and I’ll see you next time.
