His book tells the story of the 369th Regiment, a unit of African American soldiers who faced extreme dangers during World War 1, but didn’t receive recognition in the United States…
Whether students are applying to college or waiting to hear back, senior year is a stressful time. A majority juggle their schoolwork, after-school activities, and college applications all at once. Anxiety about college and stress about schoolwork tends to overwhelm many kids. While most senior students look forward to second semester when things lighten up, the beginning of the year can be pretty nerve-wracking. Here are some ways that seniors deal with stress:
