When people act obnoxious and disrespectful, I would just like to go up to them and say “I was at about six there. Don’t make me go to ten”, a quote said by Dale in Step Brothers. My pet peeves involve the disrespectful actions of high school students. It really irks me when people in band just don’t play their music correctly or march properly. If we have been practicing the same song for a short amount of time, then I understand if most don’t pick up the notes right away.…
I can not imagine how you must feel right now. I am sincerely sorry for my actions Friday December 11 .That later on ended up injuring Taylor. I wish there was more I could at this point. Even tho I did not throw the rock at her I feel fully responsible for the whole thing.…
I managed to reach a point where I began making false promises to myself and others about addressing my situation. Among those empty promises was the one where I claimed I would give up drinking, attend rehab and try to get my life back on track. I even fiddled with the thought of seeking inpatient assistance if things weren't working as planned. Let's be clear and fair.…
Abby, look at me. We’re okay. All right. That’s better.…
Flaws: Internal and External The day I found my rash, I did not know it would be a life long struggle. I remember my family telling me that it was just a rash and that it would go away, it never did. It may not seem like a significant problem, but at 7 years old it was. This led me to see that everyone has their flaws, big or small.…
We all walked out of the Saint Mary's hospital,and all I could think is,Why is it broken? We were at Awana, our church group at the end of the day game time and we were playing basketball. There was a fast break (when someone has a breakaway towards the basket) and my brother ran up and poked the ball out of Aiden’s hand the best 5th grade player there. His teammates yelled “GO Ben GO Ben!”…
Having found myself in dicey debates with myself regarding commas that would satisfy the need for a mild pause or the full stop that would “totally” serve the same purpose; the fictional yearnings for an existence that would have an unbiased, yet debugging nature that would clarify and put an end to subtle, tricky-little-things have always hovered around my writing table. And here I am, many years later, looking at an opportunity to help a fellow Engineer or a burgeoning scientist shape his/her highly rational thought into a more linguistically cohesive form. The grueling English Grammar classes back in high school has slowly, but steadily helped me build a firm grip on the language. My experience as a freelance writer for organizations and…
Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” One of the biggest setbacks and failures I had faced in my life was during my high school volleyball season of junior year. The kickoff of the season was quite simple: go to practice, earn a spot to start, and play hard. After I had succeeded in earning a spot on the varsity team I actually started as a bench player thus I didn’t earn the spot to start on the court. However, at our first tournament, one our starters, Tyler, had injured himself and so I was the next in line to take his spot.…
At the end of the school day Bobby and I were heading home to play Xbox live together. “Let’s play that new game that you just got Jazzy.” Bobby exclaimed. I had just gotten a new game called Survival. “Hey Bobby” I said, “Want to meet me at the barnyard on level two?”…
The United States Army Project, My first reality check occur when my hometown suffered Hyperinflation that reach 7649.00% in 1990, so you can imagine how bad it was make a living under those circumstances, when right now our economy have a rate of 0.70% of inflation. In this moment I can use the same phrase that our democrat candidate Bernie Sanders is relaying now in his political campaign Enough is Enough ! that came across my mind due to I was just tire to be the citizen Guinea pig for a political class that was experimenting from democratic, populist, dictator style to manage the country with very bad results. Many years later I have the chance to migrate and I started working in construction at the time, this economic sector was propelling…
For my entire life I’ve been afraid of heights. The idea that you could fall from anywhere, at anytime was paralyzing for me, but until then I’ve never had to do anything so enabling of these fears. In the eighth grade, I started the new trimester off with a smile, and a jump in my step. As I sprung through the grey gym doors, I felt immobility stopping me while I widened my eyes. It was the rockwall.…
