James Logan High School students will raise money for victims of the earthquake in China and the cyclone in Myanmar and also conduct a bone-marrow drive during “Be the Change” Week, starting Tuesday, May 27.
Juniors Suzanne Wu and Jane Tian, members of teacher Sarah Du’s C4 (Chinese Connections to Community and Culture) Club, came up with the idea for the fund-raising drive to aid victims of the earthquake, which quickly was expanded to include victims of the cyclone in Myanmar. Second-period classes will serve as collection points for the fund-raiser, Logan Principal Don Montoya explained, and members of the C4 Club will coordinate the effort.

I've been going to James Logan High School all four years. I've been an average student for most of my educational career. During classes, I would do most of the work, and homework. Still, there are a few classes I've managed to fail in the past, but I've been able to make those classes up. I could say I'm proud of most of the things I've done in my high school career, but still regret many other things. Now being a senior, there is one major issue that I regret, and that is the constant class cutting.

From wikipedia:
Sarah Margaret Fuller Ossoli (May 23, 1810 - July 19, 1850) was a journalist, critic and women's rights activist.
Margaret Fuller was born May 23, 1810, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Margaret Fuller House, in which she was born, is still standing today. Her father, Timothy Fuller, a lawyer and prominent politician, gave her a vigorous classical education which shaped the bend of her mind but--according to Fuller's own testimony--also sensitized her to the personal expense of her society's masculinized values.
Read At Home And Abroad by Margaret Fuller, one
of five of her works available free from Project Gutenberg.
