The race for second place On March 2nd, it was “lights out and away we go” for the first race of the 2024 season in Formula 1. From the jump, it was clear that a repeat of the 2023 season was in store, with Max Verstappen pulling ahead from his pole position. As he...
It took me a long time to watch the iconic movie Dead Poets Society. When I did watch it, it was a spontaneous and random decision that altered my life from the moment I hit play. My reasons for wanting to watch it were simple. It was fall, and I loved the idea of...
