JFK once said that stories of past courage “can teach, can offer hope, can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul.”

We’re inviting high school students to submit stories of elected officials doing what was right, even when it was not easy, to our Profile in Courage Essay Contest. Winners are awarded up to $10k in cash towards college.

Furbaby walk in the morning.

Catching up on some of last week’s history readings.

Hectic day right now with the magazine going out (posting about that soon!) and lots of web and database updates, as well as app design.

How to deal with annoying questions (At Thanksgiving)

My absolute favorite thing about Thanksgiving is seeing relatives I don’t see otherwise and getting to give them a quick recap of the last year of my life… Wait. I’m kidding. That part is awful. So seniors, I’m right there with you for every “Where are you going to college?” “What do you mean you don’t know?” “So where are you applying?” Trust me, the smile you’re going to keep plastered on your face after the tenth time an adult misguidedly asks you where you’re going to college is heard across the country. There are, of course, the other annoying questions you’ll be pestered with, like the classic, “Are you dating anyone?”- Which will very soon turn into “When are you getting married” so you have that to look forward to in the future And the “What are you majoring in? What are you going to do with that?” So here’s the thing… Your relatives mean well. They know that the universal small talk questions for adults are “What do you do?” and “Hows work?” and they’re trying to age them down to high school.

Don’t worry because I promise in a very real and genuine way they don’t find your answer interesting and they don’t really care. So answer honestly and predict their followups. So answer, “I applied to (a few of your match schools because trust me the only thing they’ll focus on is your reach and if you don’t get in they’ll remind you about it forever)” and then “But I don’t find out until March or April, the wait is killing me,” Then they’ll do the classic adult, “Oh I’m sure you’ll get in everywhere you apply” and the conversation will blissfully end. Or they’ll talk about people they know who attended (or their children attended) the school. Either way, you’re off the hook on the third degree. And if they ask about your major just tell them the truth. And if it’s not a practical major give a half-truth about what you think you might do with that degree even if you don’t know (like just say you want to do research if it’s a science, academia if it’s something like sociology or history, publishing for English). Unless you have an actual plan in which case, tell them the plan. Again, don’t give them anything to latch on to because they don’t actually care, I promise. Then ask about how their own children are doing, and watch the conversation blissfully float away from you.

Spread The Word! Opportunity for High School Juniors or Seniors!

There is a 501©(3) non-profit organization called Next Great American Poet based on the campus of Morehouse College in ATL, GA. It is the ONLY organization on campus that gives away a scholarship to high school students every year! The goal is to change the life of at least one high school scholar who expresses themselves artistically and creatively. I’m trying to spread the word because I know there are so many students out there, especially those who are of color, who have a hard time getting extra money or scholarships due to the fact that so many of them require tedious tasks. The way to win this money is SIMPLE!

Step 1: Compose and record an ORIGINAL spoken word, poem, song, rap, monologue, etc.

Step 2: Visit http://www.thenextgreatamericanpoet.org and go to LEARN MORE

Step 3: Follow the directions and we will respond to you with information about our award banquet.

Step 4: At the bottom of the website, email us and let us know you entered our contest and see what other events we have to offer you!

QUALIFICATIONS: •Must be a junior or senior in High School (Valid proof with transcript is required upon entry) •Must use ORIGINAL work!

(It is suggested that prior to entering, if you are outside of Atlanta, Georgia, please make arrangements to physically recurve the award at Morehouse College.)

THERE IS NO CATCH! This organization is dedicated to giving back to creative high school students preparing to finish high school and pursue their journey in the world. We support your artistic expression and want to let you be recognized for your talent!
