Mrs. Price sits the as still as a dead tree in the middle of winter. That stupid Phyllis Lopez and Mrs. Price pretending that everything's alright when it’s really not, they ruined my birthday! I finally muddle out a couple of words saying, ”You mean old witch,” in a little voice. I finally grab my books and bolt of that awful classroom. I put my stuff in my locker and walk out of school for dismissal. I climbed into the car with a sulk look on my face. Mom says, “Is anything wrong?” “I’m fine mom,” I say. When I really just lied to her face. When I got home I dash upstairs like a gazelle running away from a lion I hop in my room to do my stupid math homework.When I finish, I come down to a surprise birthday party. Cake on the

    A.I believe the most challenging aspect of working in protective services would be not letting your career consume you physically and mentally. Knowing that there's such a great need out there and you're not always able to help when you want to,would be the most challenging aspect to me . You wouldn't think that it affects you, but it does. The emotional strain of the job and the desire to want to help everyone can be overwhelming.…

    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.…

    Sometimes A failure isn’t a failure at all it’s just a minor setback. I learned this at the beginning of my 10th grade year. My teacher had told my classmates and I that we were able to be dual enrollment students at Germanna Community College. She informed us that we would have to take an entrance exam to be placed in classes that were suitable for us. When she said this we told her that we’d be ready and that we’d pass with no problems.…

    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.…

    “Let me win, but if I cannot win let me be brave in the attempt.” Many of the athletes I met used this quote as inspiration to get through some of the best weeks of their lives. Not only did they use this quote then, but they also continue to use it everyday. In the summer of 2015 I was given the opportunity of a lifetime.…

    My wrists had been slit and tied together, bound behind my back. I was in a small, dark space and muffled vibrations were traveling through the floor from the party taking place downstairs. The only light source was dim and came through the slight slits in the door that was directly in front of me. I felt something brush up against my back. This made me jump before I realized that they were just coats.…

    I couldn’t tell her that I can’t read since she wouldn’t be happy with me after all the reading she did with me at night. I lied to her and said that nothing happened. As soon as we got home, I rushed from the door to the dining room table to start with homework. I began to take out my books and opened my agenda when I realized that I still had to show my mother the note. I put my agenda back in my bag, so that way she wouldn’t read it.…

    I slowly stared at thee proof of my crime as the guilt was slowly eating me alive. I stared at the piece of paper that would determine the possibility my life and death. I made a glimpse at the paper one last time, Priya Patel 58/100, with a note saying “ Get signed by parent” as I took short breaths as I felt a heavy-load of trepidation, fear. It was a Thursday afternoon 2:43 pm. At school it felt like The Jonathan Wakeman School had prisoned 23 people in a four walled room filled with posters I couldn’t care less about.…

    This article is, in my opinion, an example of how personal narrative can sometime confuse the author’s purpose. In order to frame her arguments she discussed her experiences with her family, and specifically how she was born a twin to a stillborn sister. She explains her families lack of coping and how her family effected her life, but I failed to focus on the overarching idea that she wanted to get out because of how distracting the stories from her personal life are. Instead found myself thinking that her story was strangely personal without much justification for why it was this way. While the point of her article, the balance between truth and respect, was somewhat present overall, the sections of personal narrative that she decided to include muddled it.…

    On November 27th, 2008, I was ecstatic and ready to have the best day ever. But little did I know, that what was about to happen would change my point of view on friends and honesty forever. When I depended on some kids I had just met, I was introduced to the hateful world of trust, lying, getting busy, and time. It was 7:00 am sharp and everyone was still asleep, quiet as a mouse.…
