That person cannot afford to raise their own kids because they have no money for food or clothes. Now, imagine a person that wants to work out, wants an opportunity to make more friends while doing so. This person does not have the money to afford a gym membership. These people both have one thing in common, a lack of money. What…

In today’s world the internet makes up a large portion of the way we get our news and keep in touch with family and friends. Some people believe that the new technology is a new tool used for conducting incivility. I have to disagree with these people on the thought that it does more good for this world than harm. I believe the use of internet and social media encourage civility in today’s society. Cyberbullying is a new form of bullying that has just recently come about from the use of…

Where would you like me to start Brittany Sandra Pollock? Yes, I am going to use your full name in this. You may ask why? I have always loved something about a full name and it 's a little hard to explain. I guess I will start with me leaving Omaha for California this summer. But I will really go back even further after I explain something. When you and I were driving to the airport that day, I could tell that you were ready to explode in tears, but honestly, I was on the verge too and I don…

"Wh-" he clears his throat, "what was that for?" I shrug, "just..wanted it." His face fills with pink and he stutters out words, "I-I-I..That caught me off guard." He laughs a little, "I like that."

Ben Stout Mrs. Peeden English 9 3 March 2015 Humans Suck Humanity is coming to an end.

But it 's always your fault, because if you want change you 're the one who has got to change.” Elders are abused by kids and the ones they love. Education is failing, and the economy is collapsing. The police are corrupt. Politicians lie, and…

The Pastor cleared his throat. "Your father has gone to be with the Lord." Fifteen years ago, my dad received a kidney and pancreas transplant. It was a successful surgery. He was a juvenile diabetic, and for the first time since he was nine-years-old, he didn 't have to inject himself with insulin. It was a successful surgery. Two weeks later, on New Year 's day, my older sister and I were sitting in the family room waiting to go to our next door neighbor 's house. My dad had been throwing up…

The effect you’ve had on my cognitive growth has been a lot both for the good, and the bad. You taught me everything, you both did. Everyone thought I was going to fall behind, but we showed them and I was doing more than most babies my age except for the walking part. You guys made me so smart I almost failed out of kindergarten. I never had to study in high school either so I had to accommodate my schema for learning new things in college, which I assimilate with my college courses now, and…

The memories still throbbed in the back of Vect’s mind, a time when warlords drowned nations in blood and engines of war marched the land. It was a time when people gave his church thanks and gifts rather than scorn and ridicule, but that was decades ago. When the fighting was over, the victor of that great conflict took power. While peace…
