It Could Have Been Me There are many things I regret in my life that I have done at a young age because of negative peer pressure from people that I grew up with, people who I thought wanted what was best for me, family, ones who could have the same opportunities that I have now, but finally I received my wake-up call realizing that I wanted know part "I didn’t have heart for it" as he would say, in a joking manner. For my brother it wasn’t the case it was too late to turn back, it was too late…

Chapter Seventeen: Let the Fuckers Burn! They had decided that planning would be useless, and contacting the others again was far too risky. They had no idea where Melissa was, and as horrible as it sounds, they couldn’t afford the time to find her. Deanna said that as soon as they were out, they could shut the place down, and get her out more safely. There was only so many people she could get out. Tracy had expressed concern with then getting gout of solitary in the first place. Deanna had…

I 've even seen with the staff and teachers, they want to be, staff up here and kids down here and that doesn’t work with these kids. They are already fighting against hierarchy anyway and authority. That is probably why they went to jail or whatever their situation is. Whenever you act like their friend and I genuinely care about them, I think that is a huge thing and to work with these populations. It 's not just the curriculum, you have to form that relationship or they are not going to…

Because this is the first informal piece I write in American Literature, I think you should know where I stand on a variety of issues. Telling you about myself feels, by some means, dishonest since the most important thing about me is that I am constantly changing. When I was little, teachers used to tell us to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes before we judge them. Yet, I’ve never understood what we’re supposed to learn from a pair of shoes. If you want to know who I am, I suggest taking…

“What the hell was that for?!” I am the Evil Que- the Mayor you injudicious idiot! So stop this nonsense and explain properly. Why did Henry eat the poisoned apple turnover? It was meant for you Emma Swan. You, you were supposed to die not Henry! Oh don’t look at me as if you don’t know what you’re guilty of. Miss Swan, you interrupted my soothing life and manipulated Henry with your loyalty, blinding him from my love. As long as you were alive, Henry was never going to be mine. Allow me to…

The morning sun hits my face and I open my eyes with excitement and fear. Today is the day; there is no going back now. I get out of the bed and stretch. I decided first things first; I need a shower to get me going. I grab my clothes that I picked out to cook in and wander into the bathroom. Once the water is to the perfect temperature I jump in and proceed to mentally prepare myself for the chaos that is going to ensue today. After a final rinse I jump back out and get dressed for the day. I…

I stood awkwardly in the living room with a bunch of Ariana 's friends and family. She sat beside me, holding onto my arm. It was Thanksgiving and she invited me there, since my family never celebrates Thanksgiving, I decided to go. "Yeah, we 're leaving for Michigan tomorrow to go meet my dad." Ariana smiled, looking up at me. "Are you nervous?" Mac asked her and she nodded her head fast. "Of course, I haven 't seen him in five years. I wonder if he looks different, I want to know what his…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Cindy, I first met you in grade 9 French class. I still remember sitting one row behind you. The first interaction we had was probably when we were doing a French activity where we were supposed to meet someone and find out more about them. I was using a pen at the time and somehow managed to spell your name wrong, so I crossed it out, scribbling messily around my paper. As time passed, I was miserably failing my tests, while you were pretty much getting perfect on each one. I…

The Reality of Goodbyes Saying goodbye might be one of the toughest things anyone has to do. The feeling of sadness seems to overwhelm you at points. It does not really matter the amount of time that that goodbye may last, but just the thought of that person leaving causes heartache to be even more evident. Then regret seems to make itself known, all the times that something could have been done or could have happened. Wasted. It leaves a feeling of despair, one that you wish would go away.…

Children don 't come with an instruction manual, parents aren 't required to take a course on child rearing, for the most part parents are left to figure it out on their own. This can be quite overwhelming at times. Fortunately, there is help available through family members, friends, and books. Utilize all of the help that 's available to you, because as they say, it truly does take a village, raising children isn 't something that any parent can do all on their own. There are no perfect…
