Juneteenth (June 19th) is a holiday to celebrate the emancipation of slaves in the United States. According to the former president of the United States, Barack Obama, “Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or acceptance of the way things are. It’s a celebration of progress. It’s an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible--and there is still so much more to do.”

June 3rd, 2020 / Source: The Bizz USA By Haarika Kalahasti Bored in the house and in the house bored? It's been about three months since our world flipped upside down and we're experiencing more boredom by the minute. Over the course of hiatus to the world, I've tried and found a lot of cool activities to do--things I would never think of doing. This list isn't just "binging shows" or "making a tik tok account", it has much more unique things than that. (I love you, Netflix and tik tok. I'm sorry :( ) So anyways, here's a list of unique things to do that I put together which I think will be pretty helpful :)  June 3rd, 2020 / Source: The Bizz USA By Haarika Kalahasti  Picture via The Wesley School. In the midst of the global pandemic and our busy lives, volunteering may seem like an impossible duty. Required community service attracts many people, as it has a benefit in some way to the giver (they could gain volunteer hours, and look better in college applications & resumes), but voluntary volunteering only comes from very few--the people who want to spend their time and energy helping others and making the world a better place. I strongly believe in community service and I think it is something in today’s society teens should more actively participate in. In my opinion, it should not be done for clubs or college applications, it should be done from the goodness of your heart to serve and help your country.
