Being deaf in a world that most of the people are hearing and don’t understand the deaf culture is very hard to live in. In my opinion I don’t know how they live or what they do or how they feel because no one told me their life style. I though their life is just the same as mine just have to go by way a different way but I didn’t know coving your mouth or whispering or not paying attention with your eye is distrustful because us hearing people can talk with looking at some in the eye or…

As I am waiting to get back to Earth I think about all of the stuff that has happened. Will my bones be okay? Will I actually see Nana? I guess I don’t really know until I get to Earth. I then ponder about my parents. I wonder if they will be worried, or maybe they don’t notice because of their stupid Mars research. At least on Earth they have water. I hope I can see Nana again, and I hope she is okay. I’m satisfied that I’m going home but, I am also very concerned about my bones. We all have to…

Technology serves a very strong purpose in the world. I say cellular devices have more of an affect with this generation. I can’t walk down the street without seeing someone’s face planted into a screen of any kind. I feel separated from the world even though it’s right at my fingertips. Crazy how something so small can hold so much “knowledge”. Wrap your mind around this, one person sends or receives, on average, 110 text message a day. The average person sends 120 emails in one day. Ridiculous…

From a very early age of 13 , i knew there was something different about me. Theres was times i would tell myself i wish i wasn't gay. But i had that weird feeling about the same sex. But i didn't really know what that meant at the same time. At the age 14 i was in middle school. I started to realize more that i was attracted to guys. There was times i would go to bed crying , wishing i wasn't gay. Because i was scared of how my family would react especially my father. Most of the times, when…

The whistle blew to start the second game of the new season. After a win that morning, we were eager to begin playing again. Already sweating, I touched the soccer ball to my teammate and we began the fight for another win. After a rather uneventful first half, the fluorescent ball had yet to find the back of the net. Neither team had taken control of the game and it seemed like it might stay that way. As the game droned on, the sun descended in the sky, and my legs strained more with each…

I am seeking a nomination to the United States Air Force Academy because I believe it is the best way for me to reach my goal of becoming a leader in our nation’s armed forces. The Academy is a place where I know I will always put my best foot forward. I felt a strong pull towards the academy when I started looking at colleges in 10th grade but attending the summer seminar sealed it in my heart and mind that this is the place where I want to be this fall. I know that, by having the opportunity…

The Attack of the Mutant Chicken Nuggets My story begins in a small rural town called Nowhere, Nebraska. It’s a mile from You Turned the Wrong Way, and right next to, You’re A Goner. Times are tough around these parts, people up and leaving and never to be seen around here again, and my guardian leaving for the Reserves every month. Leaving me with my crazy inventors I call my “Grandparents”. They are an older couple who’s taken care of me since… the accident. Well anyways this is the story of…

I stood in my house as I observed my dad saying “we got accepted”. With laughter and tears in his eyes, he ran to the phone and called his bestfriend telling him about the happy news. With confusion and wondering what is going on, my dad gathered us and said “ we are going to migrate to the United States Of America during the summer.” I was lost, shocked and had many mixed feelings. It felt like I was going to migrate to the new world. Everything seemed to be unclear. Then my dad said that “I…

The first move was very rough for me, just the thought of moving away from everything I had ever known. I mean really from the restaurants I ate, people I knew, all the way down to the very streets. I sure would miss it all of it. It took me a long time to know even how to get around this city, aswell it took me an even longer time to know the dang state. So now I have to learn an entirely new place. I mean this was everything I ever known growing up, and now having to learn an entirely new city…
