  • Soaring to new heights

    Jean-Dominique Bauby (Mathieu Amalric) may have been trapped in a paralyzed body but within his mind, he soared to enormous heights.

  • PEN&INKee^POSSIBILITIES:Behold the power of public speaking

    I participated in a speech class in college and while I successfully learned all the terms and types of speeches, I was never very good at putting them into practice.
