A Good Day

Twas a Good Day! ( Madison Ollendieck ) It was a cold, windy, September day, Friday to be exact. My mom picked me and my sister up from school and we headed home. It was quite cold outside, so I grabbed a sweatshirt and we were off again. While we drove back into town, my mom asked me if I was nervous. Of course I said yes. I told her I felt like I had a lot of pressure on me because just that previous year, my sister won Little Miss Cresco for 2012. Kaylee, my sister, was in the car with us and…

Ah, the simpler days. Days of running, jumping, slaying dragons, and jumping into puddles. Days dreaming of bubble gum, home runs, and pulling ponytails. Days abounding with youthful vitality, endless energy, innocence, bottomless stomachs, and boundless imagination! These were the days the oldsters call, “The good ole days.” Little Mikey, was a small boy with a grand imagination. But playing “Tea Party” with his two younger sisters was getting old. They had already ridiculed him by…

University of Dayton baseball stadium, the nicest natural field I have ever played on. It was beautiful from the seats, the mound, the outfield wall, it was all gorgeous. Just stepping on to it felt right. My biggest stage to play, and I had my self a good day of baseball, I took advantage of the field and went as hard as I could. Waking up in the hotel at around 6 am to a text from my coach, it read “Chayton you’re pitching today. I need a win so do whatever…

In the short story Good Hair Day Patrice says, “If you shoot for the ideal and expect nothing less, you are setting yourself up for a very frustrating and bitter life.” In regards to relationships and life, I agree with this statement. At one point in our life, a majority of us hoped to meet and marry our ideal husband/wife and live the lifestyle we 've envisioned for ourselves. As important is to create and have those dreams and setting standards, it is also crucial to stay grounded and…

October Wednesday in Pillager, MN. Eli was awoken from his deep slumber by his Dad at 9:00 am, just like every other day of the week. Once he finishes climbing out of his deep slumber, Eli grabs some clothes and gingerly heads up the stairs. Now Eli isn’t like most kids his age, which at this time he is 15 and in 10th grade, he has chronic hip pain and sleeps close to 18 hours a day. He has visited many doctors, been diagnosed with Lyme disease and many other things. Up until now, nothing has…

they die, there’s one Last Good Day where things will be calm and clear, and then every day leading up to their death is just the prelude to The Last Bad Day. The Last Bad Day is much, much worse than The Last Good Day can ever be good. But I have to hear about The Last Good Day so frequently, that I fear that the people who say it think it’s their love child, conceived and birthed in some spectacular fashion. And I don’t believe in The Last Good Day. The real last day, where I was happy with…

Good and bad are absolute, there can be no middle ground when it comes to doing what is right. This is what people have been debating since the beginning of time. Unfortunately this methodology is flawed and outdated. Ethics is this large gray area, with no definite right decision that everyone can follow. Their are so many different philosophies and theories on what is the ethical right and wrong, that is hard for an average person to make a decision that will not be question or debated. The…
