Eight Days
You are driving down the highway, and as you get farther and farther from the city you get more and more frustrated as your favorite radio station becomes impossible to make out over all the static. Every day we travel down the highway of life. And every day we are being broadcast to. Yet there are times that we are tuned in and the reception is perfect and other times that we are so far away that all we hear is static. There are even times we hear nothing, because we have forgotten to turn the radio on.

Without her traditional head covering, Narges said she felt odd, but she wore the sparkling outfit to educate her peers on her family's culture and traditions.

The fashion show was the culmination of the series that featured Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Europe. "There are so many ethnic differences in America now-a-days, and a lot of times it causes friction," said Exenia Rocco, 16. "Exposing people to what they don't understand can bridge gaps and create tolerance and acceptance and reduce the friction." The fashion show, planned by junior Morgan Namian, was a way for students to see the various kinds of dress, she said.
