What does a promise mean to you? Most people see a promise, as a way of making an agreement, and giving your word as comfort to let someone know everything is going to be alright. Well, at Oliver High School, a P.R.O.M.I.S.E. means protecting and restoring the order of mankind with the initiative to serving elders. On May 20, Oliver High School continued in that mold by holding a career day convention from 9-11 a.m. in their auditorium to help guide their students down the right career paths.

CHICAGO (AP)—What’s that? A young college grad lecturing her elders about online privacy?

It might go against conventional wisdom, but a new report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project is adding fuel to the argument that young people are fast becoming the gurus of online reputation management, especially when it comes to social networking sites.

Two stories of determination reached a happy conclusion last month during Clarion University’s commencement ceremony, when Nathan Griffin and his mother, Phyllis, both received undergraduate degrees in liberal studies.

Both overcame challenges to reach their goal of a college degree—Phyllis, who started at Clarion in 1973 and left to get married; and Nathan, who had to sit out a semester and earn money so he could return to Clarion from his native San Antonio, Texas, and finish his degree.
