Every year when spring cleaning rolls around, I always rummage through my closet to organize the years worth of junk I’ve hoarded. In my closet sits my pink, bedazzled Motorola Razr that I treasured in middle school. Though my minutes were limited and I could only play a demo of bejeweled for free, my first phone had a special place in my heart. It was only ever what it was meant to be; a back up, only to be used in emergency situations. As I put away my first phone, I walk out of my room,…
The thought of a life without freedom is unimaginable to most Americans. Each day, we live our lives, with shallow complaints, taking for granted the simple freedoms that we enjoy. It isn’t often that we reflect on how we came to enjoy our freedom of choice, and it most certainly takes a tragic event to awaken our awareness of those who place their time, efforts, and lives at risk to ensure our existence as we know it to be. Events such as September 11, awaken us long enough to bond and…
Over the course of our lives, we meet many different types of people that benefit us in positive ways and help us shape who we are today. We often don’t even notice the impact that these people make on us until after we have been impacted. Throughout my life, I have met many people. Sometimes they have a positive impact on my life, and other times they have a negative impact. Because my dad has made it through tough challenges, been supportive, and shared his experiences, he has made a positive…

My parents didn’t plan on naming me Amari Navaeh. They had picked a few names and couldn’t decide from them. They had thought of Makayla, Mackenna, or Mackenzie. Then, my parents realized they didn’t like those names and had settled on the name Chase. They had thought for sure that Chase was going to be my name, but in the end, they decided against it.

“My eyes see nothing but crosshairs. My right-hand does nothing but clicks. In this cyberspace with no cares, finally, happiness sticks. My ears hear nothing but bullets. My left-hand does nothing but W, A, S, D. An experience that's as good as it gets, for at least a few hours, I'm free! My feelings are nothing but joy. My thoughts are nothing but video games. A place I can dominate a boy without having to say any names.” (Outcast). This poem portrays the feelings of most video gamers, who find…

I forgot to mention, Chadrick PCP discussed with me and…
