The Urban Dictionary defines fabulous as: the ultimate compliment in the gay community. I personally could not agree more. When people hear the name, "Gabbi Melvin" the first word that comes to mind is fabulous followed by amazing and stupendous. However, some have not had the privileged of seeing me, Gabrielle Melvin, in my full glory. I pity those poor souls.…
Simon was always very mischievous, and he definitely proved that at the town Christmas pageant. Simon was forced into being baby Jesus, due to he was the only one who could fit in the bassinet.

Simon in his bassinet and Marjorie standing over him, and as the poor kid who was playing the angel was swinging back and forth, Simon just couldn’t…
Horrible’s wants align- Billy believes that he can win Penny by getting into the ELE, which is Dr. Horrible’s goal. In fact, in one song where he is daydreaming about her and acceptance to the League, he sings, “and Penny will see the evil in me, not a joke, not a dork, not a failure. And she may cry but her tears will dry when I hand her the keys to a shiny new Australia” (Whedon, 2009, 26:06-26:24).…
In the discombobulation of day to day life, all types of people are going to try to knock you down. This hardship was experienced personally by Brenda Roza as she realized that “there may not be that person next to you that's going to speak up for you”. There is no reason for strangers being malicious, to try to knock other people down when they’re not even known to you. Regardless, it is imperative that you are able to defend yourself- just as Brenda Roza did. Having been told throughout her entire life that she couldn’t do certain things, Brenda thought that that being a successful person might be beyond reach to her - impossible.…
The speaker from PreMedical Ms.Schnarre, I was not interested in any of the things that this major had to offer. I have never been interested in PreMedical. Will probably not want to pursue any kind of job in this of work. Even though the opportunities seem interesting, the money was with my interest. I would not want to take a different direction that I am already headed.…

Cool fall air blew through a little town in Illinois. The distinct smell of pumpkins covered the town, and the leaves were starting to change from green to a vibrant red. At 7:45 sharp a group of friends met at the faded stop sign between their houses. Once they got to the stop sign they all headed off to Sandy Elementary School. That group of friends was Bobbi, Malory, Anthony and Mason.…

Bimba I hopelessly sit on the chalky sidewalk alone, isolated from the roar of street cars and buses intrusively honking their obnoxious horns. My thoughts surround me as I wait for someone to make a simple gesture and toss a small bill in my decrepit Tim Hortons’ coffee cup. The petite awning of the Korean restaurant I sit my back against, along with my cup and two nickels, is all I have. Ever since I lost my job, I cannot bear to see the face of a human, especially my own. Listening to the sound of jubilant people laugh eats at my wandering soul.…
I had the pleasure in conducting a person to person interview with a good friend and colleague named Jess Vercruz. For several years I have known this individual. He works with me at Officer Candidates School as our athletic trainer. I have always known that he was a highly educated individual who has worked with our command for over two decades. What makes him such a unique person is that he truly cares about his job and most importantly, the impact it has on others.…

But he didn’t care what other people said about him and he would keep on going because his parents told him to not let no one bring you down. As Bob was in Science he was loving the new school because he made new friends and love his teachers.…
They had my hands behind my back and rushed me down the hall of the juvenile cells. “Come on man, I didn’t do anything wrong!” I exclaimed. The officer ignored my comment and we kept walking. “Where’s my phone call!…
At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
Old Note from High School I was cleaning my room one day going through old High School papers. , throwing away things that were not very important to me. My friend Ashley was over watching me sorting through old papers, And I came across a drawing that I made for my ex. The picture had his name in big black letters and a rainbow circle around his name.
