I would consider myself a fairly good student. I may not understand everything in class and I may ask quite a few questions, but when it comes time to focus, take notes, and do my homework I feel like I tend to be on top of things.

Every year there is one day in April when students across the country take a vow of silence.

Every year since sixth grade, I have participated in the Day of Silence. And every year, I get more and more out of my one day without communication.

After pestering my mom for a few months when I was a freshman, I finally convinced her to buy me Proactiv. And trust me, I was in dire need of it.

But after a year or two of using Proactiv, it ceased to deliver.
