In today’s day and age, where cultural diversity is accepted and even encouraged, you wouldn’t expect to hear such degrading language and remarks relating to race. Just the other day I was stopped speechless when I heard the “N” word repeated several times in ONE sentence.  This group of students were casually using this word in replacement of a greeting AND used while talking about someone else.
I always grew up with the understanding that this was a “bad” word and one that shouldn’t be spoken. Even in school we …

We all know that there are many styles out there, but what are the most recent trends for the dudes?
The style that would look good on any guy are loose skinny jeans. Who says you have to sag to look cool? Sporting any loose skinny jeans fitted to your waist gives you a more sophisticated look, and you don’t have to worry about pulling up your jeans every 2 seconds.

Another “it” look for the guys this fall is the cardigan. Cardigans aren’t just for the girls, guys can …

Every time you buy a pair of Toms shoes, Toms will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need, one for one. But why not water or medicine or something else, you may ask? While all those are important, shoes have been shown to be a fundamental resource for protecting children from rough terrain, infection, and soil-based diseases. If you’re wondering what Tom’s stands for, it’s an abbreviation for “Shoes for a Better Tomorrow” run by a founder named Blake. Not Tom.

The Chinese zodiac uses 12 animals, each representing one year in a 12 year cycle.  The first year is of the Rat, followed by the Ox as second, then by the Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, and Dog as the eleventh with the Pig as the last.
2010 is the year of the Tiger in the Chinese zodiac, which would make it the 4708th Chinese year.  In western (or American) culture, its sign would most resemble an Aquarius horoscope.  It started on February 15th earlier this year and …

Back on Friday, October 1st, a group of freshmen, juniors, and seniors from DMD were given the opportunity to visit University of California’s San Diego campus through official student oriented tours. The trip, which consisted of tour guides who were current students of the university, allowed students the chance to get answers about college life as well as a taste for what is to come after high school.
As what many of us are working so hard towards is being able to get into a good school, extend our education and …

A few days ago Mr. Oskin sent me an interesting article from the New York Times about a student who decided to give up social networking for 48 hours. I thought the idea of life without social media was interesting so I gave it a try. Over the course of 48 hours I recorded what I was thinking or feeling while living life without social networking.

Day 1
8:30am: So far things aren’t going too bad. Naturally, this morning I reached for my phone to read the latest tweets on my …

Making W.A.V.E.S. is the team of 11th grade juniors at DMD. They work with real clients to help make San Diego a better and “greener” place. W.A.V.E.S stands for We Advocate and Volunteer to Educate San Diego.
