Scottish Nationalism – Music Josh Watson As the bagpipe played such an important part in this particular Scottish-themed wedding‚ it likewise played a major role in the evolving spirit of nationalism in the Scottish people.

Home? By: Salma Almaz What does home mean to me? It means safety‚ hope‚ love‚ and happiness. These four things make up my home. People say that home is where your heart is‚ that is true but there is more to it than that. Home is where I grew up‚ laughed‚ cried‚ and screamed. It’s where I became stronger‚ smarter‚ and wise.
