College is different

Welcome back to school Gwinnett students! The time to wake up before the sun does, is back! 

Instead of sleeping in and going to the pool after lunch, you’ll have to trade these luxuries in for textbooks and homework.

Community Garden

For the past month I have been so busy!!! As a freshman at Grayson High School, my first month in high school has flown by! It feels like an on-going roller coaster filled with student council meetings, lots of AP homework, cross country practices everyday, small group leading at my church for our youth ministry, and piano lessons.

Autumn is the time to divide perennial plants

Herbaceous perennial plants are advantageous since they come back every year unlike annual, which grow for only one season. They are easy to plant, require minimal maintenance, and provide beauty year-after-year.

Knockin’ on nature’s door

Top of the mornin’ Gwinnett Citizen readers!  

I’ve observed a very distinct divide between millennials (those aged 18 to 35-year-olds) and the teenagers of today and their interaction with nature. 

Motorized convenience

When was the last time you pulled up in front of your garage, got out of your car, manually opened the garage door, got back in your car, drove your car in the garage, and then manually closed it again?

Mirror, mirror on the wall

In the 1937 Disney classic movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, originally written by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, emerged the classic line, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” Snow White’s evil step-mother, the Queen, impatiently waited to hear the magic mirror’s reply.

Does God open and close doors?

I hear people say all the time, “God opened a door for me.” Or, “God closed a door for us.”  Does God really open and close doors to show us His will for our lives?

“Girl power.” We’re never too old to say it.

How many times have I said to myself, “What would I have done different, had I known then then what I know now.” It’s a question that’s impossible to answer, yet I ask it several times a day.
