    One afternoon, my father came to pick me up instead of my mother who was usually given the task. As we were walking toward the car another parent stopped my dad for a brief conversation. At this same moment another student, who I assumed had to have been new to the school, asked me if I was adopted. Dumbfounded, I looked at him, responded with a stern no, and began to wonder why someone would ever ask me such an idiotic question. The student walked off and my father eventually finished his conversation, but before returning home he had to stop by the local Giant.…

    I hear the loud, rough sound of the door opening, as I enter my soft, green house. Today at school had simply been horrific. My alarm hadn’t gone off this morning and everyone was in such a glorious mood when I arrived to the all too familiar building (note the sarcasm). Suddenly I hear the all too familiar jingle of the tags on my dog, buddy’s, collar. Setting down my black and white bag with a sigh, I trudge to the back of the house where he is.…

    What my dog has taught me Humans are basically social animals, and in learning to coexist more peacefully, our pets could teach us a thing or two. Humans are sometimes arrogant enough to believe that our lives matter more than others, but in owning a dog it 's clear to see why it doesn 't. I know some people consider their pets as a part of their families. I strongly agree with that stance towards the dog I have in my home. Having been a dog owner since the age of nine, I can claim that a lot of growing and maturing goes on during that timeframe. Pets have this ability to teach people things that even humans cannot.…
