If there was one would that I would describe this time period in my life (no matter how short it is) is peaceful. I lived in a really nice home with really nice neighbors in a really nice neighborhood (besides the HOA, of course). There were two kids I hung out with a lot in that neighborhood, Kole and Blake. Kole was in 4th grade when I left and Blake was in 2nd. They were like the little brothers I didn't have and as I felt I had a great influence on them I found out later that they had an equally great if not bigger influence on me.

Turns out my dad got “let go” and for reasons that his boss felt that my dad's company could support itself and my family. In this trust at first my dad had a understanding with the guy and signed a non-compete which basically disallowed him to work against him. So my dad was going to have to support a family of 5 with a company that could only support itself, (yay). My family that night cried so much it could fill a bucket. We were scared and we didn't know what was ahead. My parents at the time of our age were very straight forward and told us that we are going to be struggling for not living in a car or worse. I remember having these bursts of fear where I would think way too much about if things were gonna work out. One day I guess I just decided to trust in God and not worry about it because it was in his hands, and this gave me strength. He sure enough provided even if it was just barely by days of tragedy he proved mighty. This lasted almost a

After when we walked over to the stands to get ready for their riding, I was gearing up to ride one of those beasts they call steers, thinking I was going to get killed.…

    Technology has developed so much over the years that we have relied on it so much. Technology is used in pretty much everything we use nowadays. Living in a neighborhood was the greatest advantage, but having kids the same age as I was even better. There was never a time we weren't outside: rain, shine, snow, miserably cold, or even scorchingly hot. There was 4 of us: 3 girls and 1 guy, all around the same age.…

    Using natural language to communicate is, for the vast majority of us, something we do every day from a very young age. That said, when we look closely, communication is not without its fair share of hurdles. Indeed, is a fact of human social intercourse that individuals do not always say what they mean, or mean what they say in conversational contexts. In this paper, we will expound upon the issue of implicatures present in human communication, as described by Grice. In addition, we will present two related theories which attempt to elucidate how human beings are able to grasp what others mean with seemingly little effort.…

    In the book, On Fire, John O’Leary is always encouraging us to “take off our mask” and really get to know each other. In my, My Journey paper, I could have dived deeper and “taken off my mask” in it to let people know what has really happened in my life. It has always been a hard topic to talk about, but as I have gotten older it has become easier to open up about. John O’Leary made it clear in On Fire by saying, “It’s time to embrace your story and to celebrate the amazing miracle of your life” (O 'Leary, Page 51).…

    In my earlier years of school, I dreaded going to school and I wasn’t skilled in public speaking. I had a terribly hard time talking to new people and often avoided social situations. These being among the traits many consider unfavorable, I passed up on great opportunities that I had been given due to their social aspect and the potential for me to embarrass myself. Starting my freshman year of highschool, I was aware that adjusting to an independent lifestyle where I worked a job and made my own money was one of my main priorities.…

My dog had torn it apart, and because of financial reasons, there was only one phone in the house, between three people, and it was a old slide up phone. Not a touch screen…

    This year I learned a lot, and it was my most stressful, emotional, and extra year I have ever been through. I of course went through heartbreak, and betrayal of old friends, but what high school student wouldn’t go through all of that. Even though through it all, it made me become a better person.
