Last year he passed an old, faded school bus, when he was on duty rushing to a call in his old Ford Police SUV, he passed the school bus with worry on his face, hurrying to get to the mysterious man taking pictures of houses, the bus driver had called him in because, he passed her when she “had her lights on” he had taken the blame for it and received the ticket and court date. He knew that her lights weren’t on he had video of it. About a Long week and a half later. His jury had arrived to the stand with his lawyer on one side and the bus driver on the second, he was not guilty. He lost his job because of this, jobless for a year and a half. But that didn’t bring him down, he knew he could get a job but they

    When I think of the word “grit”, to me it makes me think of someone who has a great spirit, who is self-motivated and does everything they can to meet their goal. The one time that I can say that I had true grit was during the time when we all as a Housing and Residence Life department, took place in our annual event ‘Battle of the Hall Stars’. Battle of the Hall Stars is most likely the “Olympics” of Housing and Residence Life at the University of West Florida. There’s nothing but different events, from basketball, handball, obstacle courses, and much more. At the end of it all, everyone gathers together at the end, all the points are tallied up and the Hall Cup is presented to the best Residence Hall.…

    I walked up to the steer I was working with and pet him on the head, letting him know I’m friendly. He jerked in fright, and suddenly he turned his head and stared at me like a monster. So many large animals makes you feel vulnerable no matter how big you think you are. I got to the state fairgrounds just in time to wash the cows. I’m not sure who washed who…

    Andrew O’Kula A small streak of pink began to emanate from a slim point along the horizon as the late afternoon slipped into the evening. There had not been a cloud in the sky to ruin this beautiful picture the sky had created all day. And being that it was still early in June, that had turned out to be a very long day. Our hands were covered in dirt while our arms glistened with a thin sheet of sweat.…

    Faith is the belief in something greater than us one can put full trust, confidence, and reliance on when difficult times arise. I was raised to be involved with church activities to maintain my spiritual life; additionally my faith grew dramatically when my cousin deceased and gave me an overview of what I wanted to pursue my career as. When I was a child, my parents encouraged me to always be as loving and caring as I could be, not for personal gain, but to be benevolent to the people around me. I was raised with two loving parents, Mario and Rebeca, along with a younger brother, Mario and older sister, Ana.…

    Time stands still, frozen like New York in the wintertime. And all I can hear is the fast da dum da dum of my palpitating heart. Adrenaline spikes in waves through my clammy body. I look straight at the brown wooden door in front of me and pretend it is the audience. Taking a deep breath of the musky air, I envision myself bold and confident.…

    When growing up, just about every child has some grandiose yet profoundly naïve dream for themselves, be it an astronaut, cowboy, the president, or even the regional manager of a gas station. I, of course, was no exception to this rule; much to my mother’s disappointment, my dream was to be a rock star. The idea of being on stage wowing crowds of people thrilled me immensely; however, even as a child, I understood this dream of mine to be incredibly unlikely, which made my moment of playing a shredding bass solo in front of an astonishing crowd of no more than thirty people all the more monumental. This dream remained dormant until 3 friends and I decided to form a band when we were in middle school.…
