... better known as Manic Depression. Bipolar children long to be free of the strange feelings of sadness or euphoria and the voices that torment them. They wish for a good nights sleep and hope for a day when they can put their words on paper. They dream of friends who don’t abandon them when their moods change; and look for a miracle in the eyes of doctors who don’t always believe that bipolar can happen to a child. Until society becomes more aware and accepting of these illnesses, our future children with these disabilities stand no chance. My son,was diagnosed at age nine after his third stay in a child’s psychiatric unit. He was admitted following a period o ...

... a pledge. That process altered my life forever. The process of pledging a fraternity. The idea of a fraternity is neither a recent nor a unique idea. The motivation behind what is modernly called fraternity has been around for thousands of years.

In the early 1700's, the notion of a fraternity took on a different turn, with the re-emergence of the Freemasons. The Freemason's were on the verge of extinction when four lodge ...
