Movie Review

Watching the film We Bought a Zoo directed by Jerry Maguire left me inspired. It is a "feel-good" film that is also based on a true story. A single father named Benjamin Mee (due to his wife's recent passing) has left him confused and stuck. He decides to move, and the house he buys is a zoo. Reviving it and his family is the goal, and he does just that. The movie was full of heart, laughs, and relatable feelings. Most of all it gives us a sense of adventure. 
Jerry Maguire (dir.) Starring Matt Damon

New York Times had to compromise, and "in 2014 began allowing readers free access to ten articles a month, as as free access to articles via a search link." The paper seems to still be having some serious cutbacks. This issue is quite similar in the music industry, where the audience does not fee...

Opinion Editorial

My Inspiration Op-Ed is from the Los Angeles Times titled "Happy 'Other' Mother's Day". It is an article that discusses a woman thanking all of the mother figures that have helped raise her throughout her life, rather than her own mother. Her biological mom died at 16. This inspired me, for two reasons. Being a mother any day now I am writing an article that would fall into a similar category of children and family. I also loved this article because growing up without a father I have many 'Other' Fathers that I thank on that one day of the year, and they are special. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-torres-mothers-day-community-20190512-story.html The Universal Simplicity in Raising Our Children By Danielle Hagerty August 1 st , 2019 There is not a universal instruction manual for raising all of our children.
