The Walls The school’s doors were unlocked, which was strange because they’re never unlocked. It was so dark inside of the school that I couldn’t even see my own hand. It smelt like dirty socks with a hint of roses, but that was the natural smell. It was difficult trying to find my locker, so I ended up just turning the flashlight on my phone on. When ending up finding my locker, I tried my combination, but it wouldn’t open with whatever I tried. I turned my flashlight off, getting ready to…

The most significant event that has occurred in my life thus far has been my parent’s divorce. When I was fourteen, almost fifteen years old, my parent’s decided to end their thirteen years of marriage. At the time I had no idea on how to feel about it and wasn’t sure exactly why they had made this big decision, but as the years passed I slowly gathered the information and pieced it all together. In about November of 2010 my parents had separated, but remained under the same roof until late…

What is social media? Social media is a way for people from around the world to communicate with each other without ever seeing each other face to face . It’s way to express our feelings without the fear of public humiliation. This new fad has become a popular invention that can be used to many advantages or disadvantages. Some of the advantages are that it’s a way to hold a social relationship with someone that you may not have frequent contact with such as family, friends, or people that start…

It was a gorgeous, but frigid Wednesday afternoon in January as I made it to Wadsworth library around two o’ clock. Checking my watch, I made sure it was two. I was meeting my best friend, Zaire for lunch and when I tell you that he’s a stickler for time, the boy’s been on time for everything since I first met him in ninth grade. The library was quiet with patrons on the computers while some older folks were playing chess in the back corner. I scanned the spot for Zaire, but found no sight of…

When I was younger, I thought my little brother, Roodly, was from another planet. He looked nothing like my parents and I. For instance, the color of his skin is lighter and his nose is flatter than ours. At the age of nine, I made the conclusion that Roodly was adopted because he was so different. Roodly even spoke in an unusual dialect. My parents thought his speech was a phase, but his speech didn’t change. When the school reopened in the fall, his teacher took notice of Roodly’s diction. She…

It started out a nice spring day, a little dampness on the grass outside. When you walked outside you could feel the warmth of the sun on your skin and the sound of the birds in the distance. To me it was like any other day, but one thing happened. One thing that I needed to work with myself and the surroundings to make sure that I lived. Starting from the beginning, I woke up with a day off of work thinking “ What can I do today?”. I normally take my time getting up and doing all my morning…

Life Threatening Obstacle! On a sweltering summer day around 3:00 pm, my mom said “ Simeon don't forget to wear your hat when going outside” I was planning to go outside and shoot a few baskets before I relax in the shade in front of my house. Suddenly, I started to feel sweat melting down my face, I was feeling that I was being fried up on barbeque stand! Before I become a full fried barbeque meal, I went inside my house, turned on the Air Conditioning and started to play games on my device.…

I never was a kid that loved Reading and Writing. Science and History were my favorite subjects from elementary to high school. I always had a problem with grammar and sentence structure, I never understood where to place a comma, a semicolon or a period. It was always funny to me that my favorite part of any English class was when it came down to poems, I loved writing poems it was something about them that freed my mind. I can’t remember my first poem but I do remember that it was the first…

My family does not allow me to watch much TV. Therefore, I must be selective about what I watch. While I could waste a lot of time watching Duck Dynasty, when it comes to choosing a quality show guaranteed to make me laugh, Family Guy is my top selection. Among currently running animated sitcoms, there are a few that have current connections to people and events. Most famous of this genre of shows are South Park and Family Guy. Unlike South Park, which follows a group of friends at school,…

Dave Carson’s talk to my public relations class really inspired me and gave me a different perspective on my life and what I 'm doing with it. What really caught my attention was how he talked about how Coe is a business and how that it’s preparing us for the rest of our lives. I have had some doubts about Coe this year, but him coming and speaking to us about how well Coe prepares you for the future and all the amazing opportunities Coe has really made me come to a conclusion that Coe is the…
