Everyone dreams of being an MLB player or an NFL player but many people don’t think of what their goals are when they are younger and in school. What do you want to happen while you’re in school? Get good grades, be great at a sport, or become more spiritual? My goals are to get straight A’s, get under 13 minutes in cross country and become closer to God. My questions are, how am I going to do that? Will I become a better person in the process of these goals? These are ways I think that I…

I didn’t know where I woke up. The bed sheets smelt like wet cigarettes and old beer. A small room with fading pink wallpaper appeared as my bloodshot eyes focused. I was in some roach motel I didn’t recognize. The Bag! Cold panic hit me like ice water. The leather travel bag was sitting in the armchair. I sighed in relief. There was a pack of smokes on the nightstand. I reached over for them—it was empty. Lousy luck is all I’ve had since I took on this assignment. The thing that drove me bat…

I don’t really have ten reasons that I will die alone, but I read that if you put a number in your post title you get more hits. Sorry for the deception, but since you are already here please read on. I may not have ten reason that I will die alone, but I firmly believe they will find me one day, lazy-boy in the recline position, a spilled glass of scotch by my side (hope it’s the cheap stuff; hate to waste anything good), my NETFLIX queue empty, and a cat sniffing at my rotting corpse (wait, I…

hour Maela found herself guarding the entrance to Harvest House. The moment the other guard passed around the corner and out of sight as he headed for the rear of the building, Maela walked up to the entrance and entered the courtyard. There was a single guard in the courtyard, and Maela noticed several guards on the wall. They were obviously familiar with Teal, however, and they didn’t give Maela a second glance as she walked up to the main doors. She had a moment of panic thinking that they…

Panic filled me as I came to. I jolted out of my position, whoever was next to me jumped, but I didn’t care, all that was on my mind was to get Ventus back. I was still stuck in the moment where I was helpless to save him. I tried to scramble out of the bed I was in, but a hand on my shoulder pulled me out of my state of panic. “Vanitas! Calm down, boy!” Fraun said. I paused sucking in a deep breath to calm myself before I spoke again. “Did you guys get Ventus? They stole him…. Damn…

**TW: BLOOD, IMPLIED SEXUAL ABUSE/NONCON** Jekyll wasn’t able to sleep long before those *horrible* nightmares came to plague him. Ones that filled him with guilt and pain. Ones that reminded him how he had caused his family pain. But one memory stood out against all the distorted nightmares. A memory that he both wanted to forget and remember. *“Zio!”* A little girl of the small age of eight ran out in front of him, her pigtails bouncing. Her name was Rose, his niece. “Yes, *carino?”* He looked…

The Law of Evaluation communicates the importance of understanding the difference between hurting someone and harming someone. Cloud and Townsend state, “You need to evaluate the effects of setting boundaries and be responsible to the other person, but that does not mean you should avoid setting boundaries.” When setting boundaries, it is likely that some loved ones will be hurt by our decision to set certain boundaries. It is our responsibility to to think through the other person’s feelings…

Hello Nora Del Pilar Guerrero how have you been these past few years? My Spanish is getting worse and worse since my favorite Spanish teacher, you, is no longer in my life so I had to use Google translator so you can understand my e-mail. This is my first & I hope won't be my last e-mail & communication to you in a very long time so please be patient just like your patient with your family and friends. First of all you have no idea how much I miss you and our son and I know you're angry…

Insurgent began with a very interesting and fast-pasted start beginning only an hour after the previous book in the series Divergent. I thought this was very well done by the author because while it would have been better to read the previous book in the series, the way the author Veronica Roth wrote the book, any reader that did not read the previous book Divergent would be able to understand what was going on in the plot of the book by the end of the first chapter. Roth’s’ writing style made…

You’re inside your brain, it’s dark and the only light you see leads to the outside world. You peek through the hole and you see everyone at your beck and call. It’s a new feeling, a satisfying one. You’re surrounded by voices that tell you this isn’t right, that you shouldn’t be acting this way, but the other voices tell you different. They tell you, you’re in charge, to enjoy the feeling and take advantage of it while you can. There are two sides to every story, there are two sides or more to…
