Preempting
the New Year’s Resolution Madness - #8 Fall In Love - By Kayla
Lemar, Teen Scribe
It’s month two on our journey of Preempting the New Year’s Resolution
Madness, and I know you must be heartbroken because I skipped six of
the top 12 New Year’s Resolutions, but how many of us can honestly say
weight loss and budgeting are on our minds when it’s almost Valentine’s
Day? They aren’t on this girl’s mind (That’s for sure.), because
this is my first Valentine’s Day with a... read

Key Club - By
Abby Kindley,
Teen Scribe
High school is said to hold the key to opportunity. As I entered my
first year in high school, I discovered that statement can be true in
more ways than one. I found this out when I joined Greenville High
School’s Key Club. Ever since the first Key Club started at Sacramento
High School in Sacramento, California there have been wide outpourings
of students signing up to join... read

Preempting the New
Year’s Resolution Madness - #1 Quit Smoking, Before You Start
By Kayla Lemar, Teen Scribe
It's 2011. And with it has come the long list of New Year's
Resolutions each of us drafted during December. While drudging up a
list of my own I did a little research on what everyone else in the
world wanted to do with their 2011. I found twelve priority
resolutions that year after year people post on the web, write in their
diaries... read

Alice in Wonderland:
Child Fable or Secretly Sublime? By Dorothy Gilbert, Teen Scribe
Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgen published The Adventures of Alice in
Wonderland in 1865. This children's book, thought notorious through the
years, seems oddly sublime to some. Many assumptions have been made

the fable. Perhaps, with it being the 1800's, he was simply blind with
ignorance and innocence... read

Christmas Time
by Elizabeth Horner, Teen
Scribe
It is almost certain that by the time I wake up in the morning of
December 12, 2010 I will be looking out at frozen surroundings.
It will be deceptively calm as I peep through my bedroom window.
Our yard will be beautifully landscaped with white fluffy stuff as the
snow storm moves through our area. It is also going to be just a little
over a week when I will be let out of school for the holidays... read

Living by the clock
by Elizabeth Horner, Teen
Scribe
What significance does the tick of the clock or the sand trickling
through an hourglass have for anyone? It is us humans that have
created the concept of time. Our advanced brains have given us
the ability to affect nature--- to farm, to build, to invent
machines--- and from that came our desire to structure our days... read
