Who am I?
Who am I? I am Brock Jackson Holland. I have a normal 15-year-old life. I live with my two parents, and my two brothers. I go to Lord Botetourt High School, and I am in the tenth grade. I am not a huge fan of school at all. I don’t play any sports for the school, or outside of school. I like to do my own activities outside of school. Hanging out with my friends is all I do. I like hunting with my dad, Dutch Holland, during hunting season. Skating with my friends is also one of my favorite activities to take part in.

I am the type of person to correct people when they are wrong. My parents say that I think I’m smarter than everyone, but I already know I am. I can argue with anyone for forever. I will not stop until I

    Tom should tell the sheriff about the murder. Some reasons are that it is bothering Tom not telling the sheriff who was the actual murderer, it would be wrong for a innocent man to get hanged for a crime they did not commit, and it is also bad for a murder to be on the loose on the streets because he can commit more crimes. Some people would say that he should not tell because he could get killed or because he took an oath not to tell anyone, but even though he took that oath and could possibly get hurt or killed it is best for him to tell because what Injun Joe did was wrong and he should be punished for his actions and not Muff Potter who was accused for the crime.…

Another activity that I greatly enjoy is baseball, where the loud crack of the bat is accompanied by the wafting smells of hotdogs and peanuts as the ball soars out of the stadium and to the other side of the world.…

    Houdini Research Paper

    I think that Houdini became a popular entertainer by showing people that he swallowed 40 needles, he went to a wall and came out from another side, he can escape from handcuffs, he can escape from a coffin full of water and all those things and, yet people became entertained because no one has ever done anything like houdini. I think that Houdini would become famous at being a singer because when we were reading this article they said that back then when Houdini was alive the films were not good and, yet i think a singer people would listen but that’s why i think that maybe would be a famous singer than a famous movie maker. I would prefer to watch an escape artist than watch a magician because Houdini never said how he did his tricks to…

    Crookes then worked on rarefied gases in vacuum tubes. He discussed his investigations in his 1878 Bakerian Lecture and his 1879 British Association Lecture, explaining the equipment he invented to carry out these experiments—the Crookes tube. “This instrument consists of a sealed glass tube from which nearly all the air has been removed and through the walls of which are passed two electrodes” (Infoplease). When Crookes introduced a small electrical charge between the two, he observed an unexplainable ray emitting from the negative electrode. Many of these rays miss the anode and strike instead the glass wall of the tube, causing it to exhibit fluorescence.…

    Essay On DISC Assessment

    Having never taken the DISC assessment before, I was unsure about what to expect. I thought it was fairly accurate in many ways, but I felt that it very much tapped into what I consider my “work” self and did not cover much of who I am outside of that. I scored a high average score on the D spectrum. This seemed accurate, as I am relatively competitive overall, I like looking at the big-picture, I don’t mind taking risks, I can be critical of those that don’t measure up to my standards and I am very interested in new and innovative things.…
