Quinn’s Fight How are you today, Quinn? We haven’t talked in awhile. I think that I get to come to the hospital after school today. I can’t wait to see you. Text me back when you get this. Love Summer I sent the text as I was walking out the door to meet the school bus. Quinn is my all time best friend, but lately its been a little bit different she has *cancer and has been in the hospital for the past one week. I miss her a lot like no one would ever understand. I’m walking to school as Avery…

June 4, 2010, is a day that I will remember forever; it’s a day that taught me to never take life, family, or friends for granted because you never know when something unexpected, bad or good, will happen and impact your life forever. The day started just like every day has for the past month. We started practicing basketball early that morning, with the same routine as always: stretching, running, layups, and splitting up into two teams and playing against each other. Our coach, Coach Joey, was…

neo-Nazi groups were using football matches as occasions to attack against minority ethnic communities and east European refugees. 1.3 Theoretical Framework Since racism is one central point of my research I believe that it is necessary to explain this term, especially in association football’s fan behaviour. According to a guide published by UEFA and FARE (Football Against Racism in Europe) in 2003 on how to tackle practically racism in European football, racism is the belief that a race,…

outs, bases loaded, and down by one run is both a baseball player’s most glorious dream and most onerous nightmare. This dream was my opportunity as I stepped up to the plate in the Delaware Regional Senior League championship game. The few metal bleachers near home plate at Leroy Hill Park were packed with families from all around Delaware, meanwhile those without a space set up lawn chairs around the outfield fence. Every single person at the field, whether they have played baseball since…

Mark Twain’s quote, “It [is] not best that we should all think alike; it is difference of opinion that makes horse-races,” suggests that one should not base their opinions on others’ opinions. Each individual should think for themselves and judge things based on their own criteria. If everyone thought the same then there would not be any diversity. This diversity in opinion is crucial for our society to progress. This quote also encourages individuals to speak their mind and not feel…

Quote 1: “Until I can take pride in my language, I cannot take pride in myself.” (Anzaldua 39) This quote expressed an idea that linguistic identity is a mirror to ethnic identity, and also a mirror to one person. As the author grew up, from her family to the society, everyone is ashamed of the language the author speak. However, in this quote, the writer realized that people truly need to accept the language they speak, in order to have a full understanding of who they are. Quote 2: “We are…

because they described Chris Creed a big mouth and weird. He became an outsider. One really scariest member of the boons named Bo Richardson beats up kids whose big mouth, weird, and annoying. What he did to Chris Creed is pushing, “Chris off the top bleacher in the gym” (Plum-Ucci 19). Some kind of flashbacks occur when Bo Richardson did something bad to Chris Creed. This is similar to the book example because, Chris Creed had no experience socializing with other people, he often got into…

The Rented Altima The weekend had finally arrived. My wife and I got up early Saturday morning and headed to Enterprise to pick up a rental car for our family vacation. We left in a 2013 Nissan Altima and headed back home to pack our luggage. While heading home, my wife opened the glove compartment and found a bright yellow sticky note with the words, “Open up the compartment where the spare tire goes.” We were both curious. As soon as I pulled up to the house, I got out and opened the…
