The sun’s burning rays beat down on us as we dug through the layers of Egyptian sand and rock. We had only begun the excavation the previous day and had already uncovered one-fifth of the ancient pyramid. I, as well as a team of high-ranking archaeologists, had accompanied Sarah Parcak in an expedition to unearth a lost Egyptian pyramid. “How’s your section of the chamber coming along, Erica? We’ve just uncovered a new sarcophagus,” remarked Sarah as she passed by, carrying a large coffin.…
My Hero: Katlyn Mullins Most people’s heroes are Batman or Wonder Woman. Mine is not a fictitious super hero. Mine is a real person. Mine is my dad. He may not have a cape or a bat cave but he is the most important person in my life.…
Finding someone to admire is a difficult task in itself. The title of role model can be bestowed to anyone ranging from a celebrity or to the local mail carrier. Whoever it is, they are someone you are proud to look up to no matter what, and can always depend on. Fortunately, I have a person who I partisan and proudly call my role model. This person goes by the name Rachel Meyers, she has been my role model for two years and she is a marvelous friend of mine.…
Do you still have Vicki's e-mail that says we had the 8:30 and 8:40 tee times on Tuesday? I can't find it anywhere, but I'm sure that's what it said. If the times Vicki told us were wrong, that's not our fault. We've had those same tee times on Tuesdays for the last three years... We waited on the tee until 8:25 and then left.…
Daesha Foster I have always been the type of person that is very independent. I did not have to depend on anyone to do favors for me because I did a lot of things for myself. My friends and family would always rely on me to be there whenever they needed me. I never knew how to say “no”, and id I couldn’t do something for someone it was a problem. I would get treated like I was the worst person in the world.…

Independent Independent-free from outside control not depending on another’s authority. This word desribes me so well. Independent was the first word I Iearn how to spell. I actually learned how to spell this word from a song. Independent by Boosie and Webbie.…
While job hunting, I found a job ad in the relief society newsletter. It was good money, flexible hours, and easy work. I jumped at the opportunity. When I went the first day and met Sister Briggs, I knew I couldn’t take money from her. However, she wanted it to be a job and I learned that I was really serving her by allowing her to pay me.…
There is no teasing as there has been every other time as she takes in as much as she can. I try not to buck into her mouth as she sucks carefully, literally sucking the life out of me. My hands find her hair, gripping onto her curls roughly. I silently curse at my decision to let her guide me to my orgasm – but that is part of the fun – letting Melinda be in control.…
I see my mother crying every time she held her in her arms because my mother knew any day would be her last. Every time she would hold onto her tighter than the last time. These horrible memories that I remembered of my mother and her meant nothing to me at the age of five, but now resemble pain and agonizing heartache. On - Alma Karina Martinez was born in the hospital of - in -. Alma was diagnosed with -.…
Break Her Down Children want many things. There are days when they want to play with people and days when they don’t. As a baby through my toddler years we had a dog, Kilo; I’m not sure of the breed. He was very overprotective over our family, especially my brother and I; however he was still a friendly dog. When I was around five years old, my mom went outside to find Kilo had somehow hung himself by his chain.…
I open the door and greeted her immediately with a handshake. We were on the third floor in the library of Texas Woman’s University, in a study room that was so small and warm. I could tell she was just as nervous as I was. I mentioned to her that she was brave individual for telling me her story, and if she did not want to speak of certain topics she did not have to do so. She responded, “I do not mind, all I ask for is to stay anonymous,” (personal communication, September 22, 2015).…
I complete my interviewed with Felicia Smith. Both of us agreed to meet on a Friday inside the library. Before the interview, I was little nervous because I was not sure what to ask. I thought it was going to be awkward talking to someone about their life experience. Interviewing a peer about her life experience was a very unlike for me, because it was my first time ever interviewing someone else.…
It was the middle of freshmen year in high school. Just an ordinary girl about to make extraordinary leaps in her life. Fifteen and feeling like the world is at your fingertips. Well truth is, it was, for me anyways. Brand new school, new family, different lifestyle, small and homey yet adventurous community, and friends that will truly last a lifetime.…
