Last month the coronavirus, to us anyway, was just a meme about some sickness and China. Last month we had no idea the effect it would have on the world, our nation, and us personally. Last month we thought that we’d still be in school laughing with our friends over a semi-decent hot lunch. From the time that we were young we were told by our parents, the movies we watched, and by our teachers that senior year was our year. It was the year that we ran the school. It was the year that we were supposed to find the Gabriella to our Troy. It was the year where everything in life was supposed to be perfect. But kicks and giggles hit the fan and it was an incredibly large fan. The thought that our senior prom, our senior year being the captain of our team, being the officer of our club, or...

Dear parents of the high school students: I’m writing to you to raise the awareness of the online activities of the young generation students , In nowadays there are many obstacles that students in high school are facing to obtain a place in the College or University, in my point of view the negative online activities such as racism and unethical comments consider very crucial and vital when it comes to the admission .
