What Will Make Me Successful in Davenport’s Nursing Program? Throughout my life, many factors have changed, but the one thing that has always remained the same, is the passion I have for helping people. When I was five years old, I saw my Aunt undergo chemotherapy, and I witnessed the impact that the nurse had on her. By the same token, I was astonished at how similar I was to the nurse. That was the groundbreaking moment, when I knew that I needed to be a nurse. Fast-forward fifteen years, and…

As we go through life, we have many experiences that become pivotal and defining moments, moments that shape us into who we are today and even cause us to change our attitude or perspective on life itself. Two of the most defining experiences in my life happened around the same time, sophomore year. My life changed so much just within the course of a few months. One of these signature moments in my life was a happy one, the other, the worst thing I’ve ever had to go through. There are two days…

“Sir Percival, Sir Percival, I’m here, I’m here! I have my own sword and everything!” On a stifling summer morning in Camelot, Sir Percival turned and saw a little boy, about age five or six, bounding toward him. The young boy’s shaggy brown hair bounced as he raced forward, and his cheeks were flushed bright pink due to exertion. Only a few paces away from Percival now, the little boy tripped over the too-large sword he carried, and the weapon went sailing into the air. Percival was forced to…

Hazel Grace Lancaster is your average cancer patient. She is obsessed with A Imperial Affliction By Peter Van Houton. The one extraordinary thing is her little infinity with August Waters. This the greatest infinity of all times. "A boy was staring at me. I was quite sure I'd never seen him before. Long and leanly muscular, he dwarfed the molded plastic elementary school chair he was sitting in. Mahogany hair, straight and shirt. He looked my age, maybe a year older, and he sat with his…

I believe that hard work pays off, almost every time. Last winter, I joined my local select basketball team, Ballard select. I didn’t have to try out, the coach just saw me play and asked me to join the team. After a few months of playing with Ballard, I became very committed and grew very close to my teammates. Finally spring came, and so did try outs. My coach Taylor, and the founder of Ballard Select, Sara, had told us only eight of the twelve girls on the team were going to make the team…

"Murphy where have you been going?" Murphy looks up at Finn and just shrugs. He figures he doesn't really owe an answer to anyone and especially not Finn. It's not like he's been doing anything wrong lately, if anything he's been looking for Akna these last few days and he hasn't seen a trace of her. He's stuck to his story that he's still trying to find scrap metal and maybe the occasional scavenge but he hasn't shared anything else. "You leave here everyday at the same time and hardly ever…

Frank’s POV We were at a party, when Gerard thought it would be a good idea to fuck with me. He was sitting a couch with me on his lap at our friend Pete’s house for some party he wanted to throw.

I looked over at Gerard who was talking to his brother, Mikey. I felt…

“Shame it is, right Carl?” Steve moaned. He couldn’t believe himself. A blood curdling scream had filled the empty, black room, and he knew exactly who had made it. It was like he just turned to stone. None of his muscles decided to work. Somehow he didn’t feel any drips on his cold cheeks. He knew Hart’s fate before his deciding, why was he only mourning his death now? “Yeah…” His thought trailed off to the sky, and he noticed how much more smoggy it became. “At least we’re fine though. Hey…
