When I was studying in England last year, I started watching a show called School of Saatchi. The premise of this show was that the reclusive art collector Charles Saatchi, who regularly sponsors budding artists, was having a nationwide competition to look for a new up-and-coming young modern artist to showcase in a world famous museum. The show only had about six episodes and I don’t think it went over that well, so why am I talking about it? Well, this year Bravo launched its own art-centered show called Next Top Artist which has me thinking about both shows and the nature of “Next Top ___” shows in general.

Various proposals have been made throughout the years to make English the official language of the U.S. but none have become law. I would like to make a proposal of me own: to make America officially bilingual.

Father the philosophical and ambitious role-model; mother the practical and loving source of support.
