Star Trek Line Up by Dana Kerim
By Dana Kerim
Star Trek was finally released in Theatres on Thursday, May 8th. My general impression going into it was a combination of excitement forced by anticipation, which had a lot to do with the constant pessimism from others on its potential. The big question on everyone’s mind is, “Is this TREK enough?”
Saddle Up for Success is Just One of the Programs with Youth Assisting Youth
When I was in high school I first discovered Youth Assisting Youth as a volunteer. My “junior” as they are called is named Tammy. We would go to Chuck E. Cheeses and movies and I showed her a good time, as well as helped her with her homework.
There are so many people who make a difference on your journey through life. My parents and siblings have always been there for me, cheering me on and believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself. Sometimes when my self-esteem was so low, I needed extra support.

Westerners have developed a twitch. We change locations so often, it’s become a compulsion. People move to pursue education, to go after jobs, to follow lovers. When lovers become exes, they move again. And there’s a special breed that moves on when a place just loses its appeal. They’re the drifters, the cool types who wander the world, never belonging anywhere. They’ve got that mystique, like James Dean; and part of it is that they’ll never be pinned down. In a society of commitment-phobes, the drifter has gone from fringe icon to mainstream idol.
