Game day. I wake up and that is my first thought. Although it is not the first game of the season, so many emotions are running through me. Western Dubuque is a great team. There is crappy weather coming our way.I need to eat breakfast. Their leading scorer is 2nd in the state for goals. All of these toxic thoughts flooded my mind. One thing I did not know that morning is that I would take the biggest emotional and physical blow later that day. The feeling I get whenever I step on to the field is like riding a bike for the first time or when you ace a test. It is a huge rush that pours over me. I love the atmosphere. I love the feeling of the grass under my cleats. I love the sound of the ball hitting the back of the net. When I walked on the field that day I was ready for the game. I knew in my heart we could be successful. I loved everything about that day until the first blow. A ball nailed me in the head during warmups. I did not see it coming. I turned around for a split second, and suddenly a meteor shot me in the head. It stung for a second, but I did my best to shake it off. The game began and within the first 30 seconds, the other team scored. They scored 3 goals in the first 5 minutes. Although this was not a blow to my head, it still felt like something had hit me. I knew I wanted to do everything I could do even the score or at least get one goal. I tried so hard. I went after every ball. Some of the balls even went to my head. I am sure that was not helping…

It was an early day for me, waking up at 6:30 on a saturday morning just to walk out into my living room and lay on the couch facing the tv with my blanket over me and my pillow under my head. I grabbed the remote and turned on the tv, just to find out that my favorite show was not on tv. My favorite tv show at that time was called Suite Life on Deck. After a watching it for a little bit i became very tired again and before you know it, I was asleep. Right there on the couch wrapped tightly in…

The face of Nicholas Easter was slightly hidden by a display rack filled with slim cordless phones, and he was looking not directly at the hidden camera but somewhere off to the left, perhaps at a customer, or perhaps at a counter where a group of kids hovered over the latest electronic games from Asia. Though taken from a distance of forty yards by a man dodging rather heavy mall foot traffic, the photo was clear and revealed a nice face, clean-shaven with strong features and boyish good looks.…

are the best cartoons ever made. However, lets focus on more recent cartoon styles such as the 1990s and 2010s. Though I was born in the 90s I have little memory of the 90s so I am not obligated to say that I am a true 90s kid. I am more of a 2000s kid. So, now you’re probably thinking, she’s going to go with the 2010s cartoons being better. However, I did say 2000s; which is in the middle of the 1990s and 2010s. I feel that the 90s era of cartoons is a lot better than the 2010s. Why? Let me…

zor nabo. Hamu wak yak boyn, There were not so many differences. We were all similar”. In other words, the gaps between the haves and have-nots were not so wide. In the 1990s, almost all people lacked access to similar things, which is no longer the case. The new polarization, and inequality anger people more than the actually lack of things. Today, not having means something different to the different groups and people are live together with very different lifestyles. And for the majority who…

The view of marriage that is being displayed in this story is that it’s a woman’s place to stay at home, do what is told, and don’t ask for nothing. This story completely paints an opposite picture of the modern day roles as a man and woman and what each person should be doing and contributing in the relationship. Through three scenes I am going to show you how this marriage is an old fashion union between two lovers. When Mrs. Mallard created her own peep hole and decided to become a peeping…

We all look at the same moon in the sky, and sometimes this is the only comfort those in a long distance relationship have. Some couples may not have the chance to talk for days, so they seek a sense of peace from the orb in the sky. If this is the case, though, why is anyone in a long distance relationship? With a face to face relationship, there is rarely the worry that one may not see his or her significant other for any length of time. Long distance relationships are growing in popularity,…
