cell phone usage, but our military is fighting the hardest it has for us in the past 17 years because of new threats and new terrorist groups. Everyday we can do whatever we want to because we have people sacrificing their time, and sometimes their lives for us so we can be free. One gift is America itself, the land, the freedom and the people. Everywhere we look we see our great country. Even though there are some bad parts of our country, most of it is the great and wonderful country we all…

Great friends, school, teacher, everything I liked. The first place I felt welcomed and I just did not want to move which I had known from the beginning. My dad had a job that required him to travel around, since his job was completed in West Virginia, he was required to move. At certain times, I was just crazy…

will not win over the fact that you are living a busy life. Most of the time, when we start to live a very busy life, we tend to neglect the fact that we should be taking care of the elderly. We often come to the decision that maybe it is time to send them to a nursing home. This is the best place where we can send out loved ones because this serves as a second home for them. These are able to provide a place to sleep, stay, talk with other people too. The most important thing about a nursing…

afternoon and I’m with my best friend, Lisha, on the streets of New Orleans. It’s a hot 90-degree day, but that did not stop us from coming out to explore the city. In areas like the French Quarter, there are passionate, talented musicians playing spontaneous jazz music in the middle of the road. The streets are covered with colorful houses with gorgeous, old-fashioned balconies and bars that sell alcohol in exotic, neon drinking cups. I see restaurants that remind me of Tiana’s Place from the…
traveled west to find a new place to call home. These three groups of people traveled west for many different reasons and had many different experiences; which were both positive and negative. I will discuss these three groups in detail, and also describe the life I would have chosen, had I been alive in the early 1800s. Farmers were looking for the best fertile soil that they could get their hands on. Some writers were telling stories of large flowers and the best soil. This generated the…

The people are living in cramped huts, have clothing that is torn, and most of them look feared for their lives. The country outside of the movie theater does have people and places that has some qualities which need improvement, but not all parts of Sierra Leone portrays what most Americans think the country truly…
