Is the Dance Studio Safe?
Today’s media showcases countless examples of teaching and mentoring practices that normalize abusive behaviors toward children. Teachers, who should be mentoring and nurturing a child’s creative growth, are using tactics to demean them, which can include name-calling and public humiliation. While these tactics successfully shock and intrigue viewers, bringing them back to the television screen each week, they also lead to many people proclaiming how repulsive these teaching practices are. So, why are so many parents continuing to send their children to dance class?

How to Not Fret About College Debt
Ahhh, the fresh air of freedom... You step onto college ground for the first day, living away from home, and independence fills your body! Suddenly you halt in your tracks and realize that first step is costing you about $14,000 (assuming the average amount per semester at most universities). You can't afford that; no one can afford that! You think about all the things you could be spending $14,000 on every seven to eight months... A brand new car every 8 months? A large house payment? Just about anything other than suffering in a classroom!

Do We Get Real Education at School?
I don't think that school's provide us a real education. The system is very outdated. In school, we're supposed to do great in every (or almost every) subject. The teachers may say that general knowledge is important, but in the world where companies need specialist, it just isn't the case.

Defining Uselessness
I wrote this post on a personal blog on December 23, 2015. I was a junior in college, studying English and Religious Studies at Texas State University. Since its original publication, I graduated from TXST with Highest Honors, in the top 5 percent of my class—not too bad for a dumb liberal arts student! I married an electrical engineer, who, even though most people find him far more intelligent and impressive than me, values my brain and talents more than almost anyone else does. Today, I'm a professional content writer, a teacher, and a soon to be homeschool curriculum writer. If you have supported me through my educational journey and pursuit of writing, even just by reading my infrequent Vocal posts, I sincerely thank you.

Working Students Facing Problems While in College
Independently of their background, any person attending to college or any other educational institution faces pitfalls, even more when he or she is a working student. The years that students spend in College are really arduous. With two or more classes taken, a student finds himself or herself stressed out with assignments, essays, quizzes, projects, and the like to pass each class and go to the next semester.

Volunteering in Creative Spaces
One of my favourite pastimes has been engaging with creative spaces. Whether it's exhibitions, plays, or crying to Avengers: Infinity War, my university experience has been one seeping with different artistic experiences. Of course, there are many different factors, which have made this a lot easier for me than other students, that would love the chance to do the same. Studying History has meant that I have a lot more free time than other people (I should probably be spending that time studying, but mind your business), and I usually have just enough funds to afford to go to some of these events, or at the very least, prioritise them over other things. With that all being said, something that I've increasingly found myself trying to make the time for is volunteering in creative spaces.

Is America's Creativity Threatened?
What do an author and an inventor have in common—Brandon Mull, author of the Fablehaven and Beyonders series, and the Wright brothers? These people all have an innovation that we, as Americans, often associate with ourselves. However, looking for this trait in our general population, especially our children, we often have a hard time seeing it. Where has it gone? What are we doing wrong? Our problem is in our society, which runs in such a way that creativity and innovation is discouraged, especially among our school-age generation.
