Phoenix Police brought Elijah to Aurora Behavioral Health after he had a physical fight with his mother Janelle in their home. Elijah had several scratches on his back and neck including a mark on his face consistent with an open palm hand slap. When Janelle came home from work, Elijah was bothering his sisters Jaylene and Leximonet inside of Leximonet's room and would not leave the room. Janelle told Elijah to stop several times and to leave his sisters alone, but he refused. Elijah threw a shoe at Leximont hitting her, and Janelle reacted by grabbing Elijah and yelling at him.…
MORGANTOWN, W.Va.--When Elijah Macon committed to West Virginia University as a sophomore in high school, tall expectations were placed upon him. He was predicted to do big things but never quite lived up to his potential. On Saturday afternoon, Macon played with fire and passion and emerged as the athlete everyone thought he would. The Cincinnati, Ohio native recorded 17 points, 12 rebounds and one assist in the Mountaineers 83-74 double overtime victory against Texas Tech.…

>To them Haylijah is character development for Elijah. Elijah has remained the same person - he 's just transferred his obsession from Klaus to Hayley. Hayley is like a dumber more reckless version of Klaus but she is more pliable and weak-minded. All those things that you said sound great…
I’ve usually learned in hard way because frankly, I love to challenge myself to expand my personal capacity. Although I had already talked to one of my classmates about having interview with her as a Caucasian woman, I decided to do it with my cousin’s friend, Jacob, who I met in my place for the first time during Thanksgiving holidays. Interviewing Jacob about his interactions with other cultures has made me realize that I have a lot to learn about the meaning of the privilege and holding it. Jacob was a 24-year-old Caucasian, who lived in Missouri his entire life. Though he was visiting California for the second time in his life, he was in a Persian house for the first time.…
Growing up in a family that did not communicate that much, I was not very close with my mother of father. My mom and I did tend to talk more but not about personal things in our life. Me and my dad however always fought. I have a few good memories with him (he loved teaching me how to make home made biscuits.) which I always enjoyed on those rare occasions he was in a good mood. But, 90% of the time we were fighting.…
My parents have done so much for me and they really pushed my brother as well. He was failing classes and unwilling to apply to colleges. He was incredibly stubborn to the point that my parents needed to take a break from dealing with him. I asked my Mom, “Why does Eric get a slap on wrist for failing a class when you guys were ready to skin me for getting C’s?”…
Realizing My Powers Being human means having memories that have shaped who we are as people. Everyone has had at least two or three prevalent memories when asked about their life as a whole. I have come to realize I have more strengths than I knew and even more memories that have given me these strengths. Events in my life have led me to be a better individual, learner, and community member.…
One day when i was walking through i fell in a hole so deep i coulden get out. So after about two days my uncle Harald came by and fell into but luckily he had a ladder in his back pocket to get us out. Uncle Harald has always been my biggest role model because he tought me how to scoot a gun, gut a deer, and how to climb. The first time that i can remember him teaching me to climb was when i needed to get the pop tarts off the top shelf. I can remember how he showed me to stack up all the cans and stand on them so i can pull myself up to the top and get the pop tarts.…
I heard once that it does not matter where you come from, but where you are going. While this quote conveys a very powerful message, it is simply a dream for many of the people that I’ve grew up with over the years. Some of my friends can only wish for a chance to have a better life or even to move out of a neighborhood where people are shot in their backyards. As we have learned in various class lectures, the overall environment in which you grow up plays a major role in our development, well being, and our ability to prosper regardless of our situation. We are all vulnerable to adverse influences from our communities.…
To be honest, if my uncle was ever in jail in the first place, I wouldn't go help him escape. But if I have to imagine myself in Creighton's shoes, then I guess I would. Either way, there's a reason why he's there and it's not my problem that he is in jail. That's his problem.…
Becoming an adult does not require a specific event or situation to occur, it happens when we allow our heart and mind to open. During the events involving Uncle Frank, David himself began to process the situation. This was not only a chance for David to find out what had happened, but a chance for him to grow into an adult. He would have to learn that as an adult there are steps we still have to take and lesson we still need to learn. David was right on the edge of adulthood.…
One of my middle brothers, Lucas Wheeler, was always the troublemaker of the family. Ever since the day my father left my mother, he has made my mom’s life a living hell at times. He was by far the closest to my biological father, so the day that he left was not easy for Lucas. He used to spit at my mom when he was mad at her and said “how do you like that?” My mother would have to hold him down while he threw a temper tantrum and when he was done, he would cry and say “I just want my dad”.…
Memoir: The Tragedy of a Family Family is a value most people like to hold. It’s great to know that family is always there for each other, but seeing that family break a part is a sad experience. Great parents doomed to split or divorce is a big event for a family. It, sometimes, fully break families a part. The year 2012 was probably the worst year for me.…
The grandfather in the film represents our generation, the generation that takes too much, and can never get enough… 6 billion people wanting more than they need. Do you think this is a fair description of the state of our world? Are we headed towards the future depicted in the beginning of the film? I think this is an accurate description of our world today because people are constantly consuming more and more, when for centuries people have lived happy, productive lives with far less than what people now days consider sufficient.…
