Some may say nurses are heartless, I know I did. To be a nurse is to be mentally strong. Based on my personal experiences I have come to see that American nurses…

Ethan and I have been in hard core training mode this week. An all protein diet and intense football practice. The past few days we have been working on just building our muscle and strength up.

thrill of a lifetime.The roller coaster came to an abrupt stop, probably giving us all whiplash. Thinking the ride was over, I was thoroughly confused when the coaster rocketed down the track once again.

After a few more twists, turns, and drops, the ride finally did come to a stop. All of this happened in less than two minutes,…

High school had been his private hell and now with the drama at home, life in general had become intolerable. The one thing he was thankful for was football. Being on defense, he was blessed with the ability to hit people on a regular basis. There was only one thing he disliked about football, although defense is critical in winning games, the defense was not as appreciated as the quarterback that could do no wrong.
