that long only because I did not have the necessary social security number. It’s unbelievable how much money one can make, but just as amazing how quick it goes. I had to pay for the social security number, four weeks of rent, food, and a pair of shoes. The good pair you gave me wore out on our journey to the top of that mountain. I will get ahead because I’m a better worker than the rest of my countrymen. I can see that already and so does the “boss.” Coming here will be hard for you,…

That boat is not friendly; it is apart of the terrorists we’re are trying to flee from. Please listen to me and think!” I howled with my last breath of stamina and will. Silence fell upon our boat and 20 pairs of eyes were focussed on me. People stood in realisation and panic followed. Screaming, yelling, shrieking and crying. This was the end of us. Everyone panicked, however no-one took action. In disgust and in hopelessness, I stretched for the motor…

narrow room. The maximum number of students in that classroom at any one time is nine, however it does get cramped very easily. Ms. Humphrey has arranged the room in such a way that utilizes the space as best as she can. She pairs the students often so many of the desk as in pairs, which also saves a little space in the room.

A few weeks ago, I was driving down highway 36 to get to my house and the person in front of me was going 50 on a 55 and I was getting very mad at the person, then he decides to turn right off of the road but he didn’t use his turn signal so I almost knocked into him.

to wear in Florida. Backstabber. My little sister Eva is no better, as she tries on multiple pairs of sunglasses. Betrayer. Rick is doing unrelated spring break activities and focuses on the movie. I silently thank him for being tolerable. I sit myself down on the opposite side of the couch where my parents are lounging. They have offended me greatly by purchasing the family flight deal of only 5 tickets and instead of splurging for one more, are forcing me to go on a miserable “vacation.” I…

In a moment she reappeared to hurl my change and the ticket on the counter with such force most of it fell on the floor at my feet.” (Griffin 51). Another moment was once again on the bus, but this time it wasn’t a problem with the bus driver but with one of the passengers. “Her blue eyes, so pale…

Why is it that the honorable decision is the hardest to make?
