My Life Soundtrack The first song I would have to choose is “ I’ve Been Watching You,” by Rodney Atkins. My favorite quote from this song would have to be, “He Said, I’ve been watching you dad, ain’t that cool. I’m your buck-a-roo, I wanna be just like you.” This quote has always gotten to me, especially from when I was very young. I have always wanted to be hardworking like my father, because I have always been proud of my father and I want him to be proud of me. The reason I have been proud…

A Little Bit About The Holocaust 11 million died in just 12 years, this is called the Holocaust (website). The span of the Holocaust was From January 30, 1933 when Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany, to May 8, 1945. (When the war in Europe officially ended) A total of 11 million people died, 6 million being Jews, 5 million were another race and 1.1 million were kids. The Nazi’s were tricky people because of how they convince people to go with them; the Nazi’s called it “relocating”, as if…

Giving back has always been in my thoughts. I was able to do a little bit of giving back monetarily last week but I try to have a giving attitude even though my finances have constrained me for a long time. I think having gratitude for what we have lets us feel like we can give a little of it away. The last chapter that…

park with my teenage cousins and let them play basketball, while I watched children play. I watched a little boy and a little girl play together. I am not sure if they are siblings, or cousins or even just friends. I think the little boy was a little bit younger than the little…

in the game at our 20 yard line. It was 1st & 10 for them at our 20 yard line and then it was an attempt to get a touchdown Carson Palmer intended a touchdown pass to Smokey Brown and then bam! Intercepted by Mike Mitchell and then he got a little bit hurt but was okay. Afterwards we had the ball with 2:15 left in the game when the QB completed a pass to Bryant in our own 22 yard line and ran and juked every defensive player. That's how Bryant put a close to it with exactly 2:00 left in the game…

The everyday social norm that my friends and I were trying to violate simply had to do with the way that people act in a general retail store. Putting a little twist into just taking things from peoples carts, we instead would be walking by a person with a cart and purposely trip over their cart and dramatically fall to the ground. Also we would run into isles of pretty much anything that couldn’t break open. Generally just making a scene, something that you wouldn’t see on an every day basis.…

degree day in Council Grove, Kansas, so everyone was bundled up in coats and complaining about the cold. I run out of the school hop in my truck and floor it home. On my way home I decide to take a little drive out on a dirt road and just cruise for a bit. As I start down this road a thought comes into my head “do you really want to be an accountant for the rest of your life.” I did not know what to think all the way through high school I had planned to become an accountant because it was a…

Reflection I remember going to the College advisor and trying to figure out what class I would be taking for the fall semester of 2016. I was a little late in the enrollment process and some of the classes I wanted to take were either not available or completely filled. So my advisor asked me if I would be interested in taking speech class. I thought to myself “I don’t really like talking in front of people but it is a requirement.” So I signed up for Introduction to Speech Communication…

not built in a day. The ideas of racial inequality and stereotypical racism, as well as the idea that racism is a challenge yet to be solved, are referenced within the articles “Black Men and Public Spaces” by Brent Staples and “Is Everyone A Little Bit Racist” by Nicolas Kristof. These articles discuss the pressure and suffering that African-Americans face due to racism, as they are stereotyped to be criminals that are accustomed to violence, even by themselves, and the negative influence that…

eye can see and an infinite clear baby blue sky above it all, there was a little red barn. It was old and rustic, completely different from the other cheery and bright cottages in the tiny town of Wicksdale. It’s paint peeled off the walls a little bit more every day. It creaked and groaned with the gusting winds that accompanied the hill it sat on. Nobody ever approached the Johnson barn. Everyone in town was terrified of it. The barn was best known for it’s eerie occurrences, such as when…
