Classic Issue:How To Trick Your Brain Into Doing
By Ember Hernandez
Do you have chores that you need to do, but you’ve been pushing those thoughts away to watch YouTube and sleep in? Still feeling guilt every time you look at your messy house, but social media outweighs the need to finish your things to do? That is a feeling of dread. This task will be slow, awfully boring, and you flat out don’t want to do this. It’ll be boring, yes, but you know you have to do it. There are a few possible ways to stop procrastinating, and finally get that yard work done.
You can harness that feeling of dread. Accept that all of this will be boring and awful, and surprisingly, that might get you a bit more motivated to finish all of this. Usually, thinking about it makes you want to finish it faster. You could also set a motivation. For example, lunch after dusting, or a movie after working out. Try to delete, “I’ll do it later,” out of your mind. Remember that the worst thing to do with a job you don’t like is to do it poorly. You’ll only have to do the job again.
Smothered Fires
By Georgia Douglas Johnson
A woman with a burning flame
Deep covered through the yearsWith ashes. Ah! she hid it deep, And smothered it with tears.
Sometimes a baleful light would rise
From out the dusky bed,
And then the woman hushed it quick
To slumber on, as dead.
At last the weary war was done
The tapers were alight,
And with a sigh of victory
She breathed a soft—good-night!

Who was Pocahontas- Really?
By Antoinette Durand
To start, Pocahontas wasn't her name, it was Amonute. She was the daughter of Wahunsenaca or Chief Powhatan, and born in 1695. She was not a Princess because that wasn't how their political system worked. There also wasn't a romance between her and John Smith as the 1995 Disney movie portrays. She was about 11 when 27-year-old John Smith came. It was reported that she visited Jamestown, and got a reputation for doing cart-wheels. She was a child.
In 1613, Pocahontas was lured on an English ship. She was kept there against her will for a year. Pocahontas was converted to Christianity during that time by Reverend Alexander Whitaker, and changed her name to Rebecca. She met a man named John Rolfe. He married Pocahontas, and they had a son, Thomas. Pocahontas told her sister that she was raped during her imprisonment, and she might have gotten pregnant with Thomas then.
