    This is amazing, this is why I am called the Great One, because of this. I want to say that Gordie Howe is still better than me, because he did it before me, so I believe that he is better than me. Crosby, on the other hand, being called the “Next Great One,” seems right.

    The screeching of my violin echoed off the wall as I struggled to play Mendelssohn's concerto in E minor. The double stops that were meant to flow in harmony came out in a jumbled mass of notes indistinguishable from the shriek of a dying cow. I whimpered as these terrible sounds emitted out of my violin, and threw my violin down in defeat. I slowly tilted my head towards the clock, a terrifying reminder that my addition was only 10 min away. I gathered up my music, and ambled away from the empty practice room to where my judge would listen to my audition.…

I put up with all of this all because I want a good education and to be able to make my family proud. “What are you going to College for?” “Are you going to College?”…

    Spreading the Gospel, One Sweatshirt at a Time All sorts of clichés and euphemisms exist that tell us every day how small and insignificant a single human being truly is in this incomprehensibly vast world. This knowledge has shaped the perception I’ve held from an impressionable child, until I experienced a chance encounter in the halls of my high school in Virginia. I come from a graduating class of 356 students I was one of only two Latter-day Saints in my entire high school, and now I am just another face in the crowd of countless LDS. However, a single event related directly to my faith has shown me the power that one individual can have in this world.…
