Teen Student Interviews County Medical Examiner

Posted on
For some time now, I’ve wanted to be a medical examiner. I guess all those crime scene investigation TV shows, like "Criminal Minds," got to me. When I told my mother about my latest career choice, she went digging through the Web for summer programs, internships — whatever. That is when she came across the High School Shadowing Program. The program is coordinated by the medical examiner.

Local drill team encourages focus and precision

Posted on
As I approached the church doors at Mt. Sinai Baptist Church on Woodland Avenue, I heard deep thunders of unified stomps and shattering claps responding to a voice of strength guiding the bodily music. I had no idea where I was going initially, however, I just followed the sounds of ancient times — stomps and claps. When I finally turned the corner into the room, there.

Conference for Teens this Month

Posted on
I remember my English teacher in high school putting down the text book with her head following suit. “Class, let’s chat for a minute,” she said somberly. At that very moment, she became a mother and not an English teacher. I witnessed probably the most emotionally charged and relevant lecture since Sept. 11, 2001. I took in every word she said to use if I ever was.

I got started in the "True Love Waits" program when I went to one of their meetings a couple of months ago. My grandma started the "True Love Waits" program at my church, so I decided to go. I went thinking it was going to be boring, but I came out with a lot of information and a ring showing my commitment. Being in this workshop has.

Movie About Teen Pregnancy Lacks Depth

Posted on
I saw the film "17 Girls" at the Cleveland International Film Festival. The movie is based on a real-life group of best friends who decided to all get pregnant at the same time and raise their children together. It reminded me of the movie "The Pregnancy Pact," which was based on that exact same story and aired on Lifetime. I think the reason so many filmmakers have taken an interest in this story.

Youth in the Kitchen

Posted on
Do you remember your first time in the kitchen? I still remember the first full meal that I ever cooked. It was Mother's Day 2001, and I was 13. I was so excited to show my mother all that I had gleaned from her and my grandmother over 13 LONG years. I went all out that day. I made T-bone steaks, roasted potatoes and veggies, biscuits, and my.

Community Flower Garden Brightens Euclid Avenue

Posted on
Mary Ostendorf and Leslye Huff moved to East Cleveland from Beachwood about seven years ago and settled in a colonial home on Page Avenue. Both worked late — Huff as a lawyer and Ostendorf as a nurse.
