“I was born,” Miss Gilly said, reaching for a tin of snuff. She took a pinch between her forefinger and thumb and placed it between her bottom lip and gums. She had no teeth that I could see. “I know that probably sounds kind a silly to you,” she said. “But I remember hearing that at the beginning of the story Melanie Wilkes was reading aloud on that picture show, Gone with the Wind. I felt that I was born was as good a beginning as any to tell the story of my life, especially when the story…
become a good sports agent, but at the specific firm. IMG, they talk about the many fields and degrees they have within the agency. Marketing, communication, law, negotiation experts all excel at the company which gives me many options as an undergrad looking for post graduate schooling. I currently study Business Administration with a concentration in Management because managing these athletes on and off the field is an extensive process. They not only need help as athletes, but also as people…
warm, eerie glow from the apartment buildings scattered among the fields. In the fields themselves, insects buzzed and chirped, hidden deep within the underbrush. In the soil, prairie dogs scrambled fervently, navigating their tunnels in search of a nighttime meal. On the edge of the fields, a deserted path lay silently, awaiting a wandering soul to come upon it. It did not wait long. Two lonely travelers ambled beside the fields, seemingly oblivious to the land around them. The path took notice…
out the boredom between us all equally. We decided to take turns riding double tearing up and down the gravel back country roads. We usually were found riding in fields that had nothing planted in them and up the muddy cricks that were used as irrigation for the fields. That was when we noticed something off to the side in one of the fields off to the side of…
mirror, I saw Roberto. A blank expression. I was hoping to seek comfort from, but instead all little hope I had left just evaporated. Trying to keep my eyes from leaking, not letting the immigration officer see me cry I face toward the window. Fields and fields full of illegal people doing hard labor. I will never see Papa, Mama, Torito, Trampita, Ruben and Rorra again. Hours have passed or that's at least what it felt like. Already we have passed dozens of rest signs, but the immigration…
It was a slightly breezy day and her hair blew back in the wind as she walked. She was on her way to get groceries from the market to make dinner for her husband and son. As she walked along she was humming a happy tune, although she was nervous about the Indians she may encounter along the way. Her husband had spoken very poorly of the Indians and so she was very wary of them. Her hands began to tremble as she thought about the encounter she may have, which could surely lead to rape or abuse if…

that I will be talking about are things that I have learned from either being talked to about or that I have read online about the colleges. These items will include the cost of each school, strictness, the living conditions, and the mechanical engineering program of each school. The cost of both of these schools is something I know just enough about to tell you what I know. When I talked to a cadet from Norwich University last week at Hargrave Military Academy I asked him what the cost was like…
The Paintball Life "Go! Go! Rush through it! He's the only one left! Go! Go! Goooo!" Purple smoke is only thing between me and the enemy player. Heart is racing, shoots are still being fired from both sides of the field. Deep breath, gun up and go. If you've played paintball before, you know exactly what I'm talking about. A full bore rush of adrenaline, a learning experience, an adventure to the unknown and of course there's nothing better than wearing war paint while talking with the team…
