On 12-03-2015 at approximately 1745 hours I Officer Hildebrand, Officer Patrick Sullivan and Sgt. Joseph Harris were dispatched to 630 N D St. for report of an assault in progress. While en route Dispatch notified me saying the male individual assaulting the victim was Kevin Meyer. I had dealt with Kevin Meyer earlier in my shift. While driving East on West Gallatin I spotted Kevin 's pickup headed West on Gallatin.…
The Hunted I didn’t know who I was. I woke up next to a bunch of muddy kids. They all smelled like they haven't showered in weeks. There was two twins, a chubby kid, and probably the skinniest kid I’ve ever seen. Then I realized I smelled just like them.…
As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…
The Never Ending Rollercoaster As my friends and I pass by store to store we had realized that there was a bright red flyers. It had caught our eye, we went and grabbed a flyer and it had said “Ladies and Gentlemen there is going to be a new rollercoaster opening up this Saturday! Come and join the ride!” My friends had said that they wanted to go and check out the rollercoaster.…
Sometimes in life, the real monsters are not who we think they are. They are not the ones under the bed, or in the closet. They are not the ones that lurk in the dark corners of your room. These monsters wear a mask. The mask is so good in fact, you may know some of these monsters without even realizing it.…
The speaker from PreMedical Ms.Schnarre, I was not interested in any of the things that this major had to offer. I have never been interested in PreMedical. Will probably not want to pursue any kind of job in this of work. Even though the opportunities seem interesting, the money was with my interest. I would not want to take a different direction that I am already headed.…
One of the first videos that I watched on your channel was your playthrough of The Beginner’s Guide last summer. I started watching it a couple of hours after midnight and I did not once pause it. I remember feeling closer to you than to any other person in the world that night. I experienced stronger emotions than I had in weeks or maybe even months throughout the entirety of your play through.…
I also knew I couldn’t blame anyone but myself. It started in line to go talk to the coach. Soon the moment would come that would determine if I made varsity or not. A girl…
That timeout only lasted thirty seconds but seemed like minutes. Timeout was over and I stepped back up to the line trying to find my courage again. I made the second shot and I remember feeling so accomplished and courageous that I had just made it possible for my team to win the…
What would you call a "thing"? Would you call it any random object you have seen or perhaps something that is a little more important than that? I have owned many objects in the short 16 years of my life from a shiny, pristine, and lightning fast bike to stylish Nike running shoes to a flat-screen HDTV, but few objects have ever truly transcended the line of being an object to being a "thing". Bill Brown's explanation of what makes an object a "thing" would be something that had a profound impact or some major significance in someone's life, in this case my own. That being said, the Holy Grail of "things" in my life would be my PlayStation 4 due to the fact that I love video-games, it was a major surprise to me when I received it, and finally it has genuinely gave me great satisfaction whenever I play it.…
The red Button “You ready?” my mom asks “Maybe, it's not for two weeks, hi i’m chris.” I don't necessarily like school. But like everyone you have to go. I just moved to this house, I see kids playing.…
At the age of 6 I can remember very vividly, my first fight. My oldest and favorite foster brother whose name was Eddie, took me and Lajon, my foster brother, downstairs to the basement of our house for a very important “life lesson”. The teaching on that day was, “How to defend yourself”. I don’t remember any physical altercations before this day. I also will never forget this day.…
The Future The frequent question asked by students is: “What would my future be like?” Well, today's society has become more challenging as the years pass, and “education is becoming the number one passport to the future”, as Malcolm X once said. The speech that Barack Obama and Harry Kim made about education being important for the future and the countless lectures that Mr. Thoma drilled into my head had me feeling the elation of my entire life. I feel the perseverance to not let my community and my family fall in disappointment.…
I look to my right at my opponent who has just finished his speech and sits back down with a smug smile on his face. I glance at my paper where I jotted down swift notes during his speech. The clock is ticking as my prep time comes to an end and an idea rings through my anxious state. I add a couple more counter arguments while I try to find a loophole in the core idea of his case. The timer rings, ending my preparation time, and I stand up to begin my speech.…
A Turning Point Many events occur during a person’s lifetime, some heal the soul and others leave an unpleasant scar. Either way, by time, all of those events come together to give that person a memorable experience that will not be forgotten. I have faced many terrific circumstances, some of which gave me good memories and some gave me terrible experiences. However, the most remarkable event in my life was an exceptional one, one that made me realize that no matter how bad things get, there will always be something better.…
