Bobby pin

competitions, I learned to let go of my insecurities and allow my potential and hard work to shine on stage and in real life. On one occasion after botching new steps in a dance routine, I ran offstage with mascara running down my face as countless bobby pins poked into my scalp. Utterly disappointed, I sought solace in blaming…

One day at breakfast, Katie started talking about this dancing lady that appeared in her bedroom just about every night. She had a great imagination and embellished that thing to the point Pete actually started to believe her. Kate would tell the family how strange and mysterious it was. How it was dressed like a ballerina, and she even went into detail about what kind of hair and eyes her little friend had. She made that thing sound as if it was her own personal fairy—like a guardian angel. As…

Death Doesn’t Ask for Permission Everyone knocks on your door when they enter; unless it’s a thief then they use a different way. But what 's worse is death, with no previous warning or cracks on the door it takes you. That angel of death is very intelligent. Looking back to a heartbreaking experience I had to endure. I can promise death for sure doesn 't ask for permission. I have come to understand the cycle of life and death, and how one can leave this world unexpectedly. Until this day, I…

Satire is the 'safest' way to contradict another person’s statements/ actions/ beliefs through use of humour, irony, exaggeration, and ridicule. Satire highlights key topical issues in society and identifies their flaws. It inspires some, and it'll offend some. Such is life. It's not easy being the perpetrator of a damaging ideal, only to have a mirror held up with the ugliest parts of our humanity reflected back. Thank You for smoking, released in theatres March 2006, is dark satire disguised…

Suddenly I Became Me I started to figure out who I was during my lifetime. There are plenty of funny and terrible instances for me that made me find out who I was. I can name three instances from the top of my head like me picking my dad’s lock to get in the fridge when I was about four, when my biological mother decided to give me and my brother away when we were five and she wanted nothing to do with us, and when I went to my first summer church camp for the first time. I believe that these…

away. Soon the chain fell off the wall. The sudden force made Aria fall onto the ground with the chains with a loud thump. She stayed on the ground for awhile regaining her strength. Her hand moved to pull out the bobby pin holding her hair together. She unlocked the cuffs with the pin. The silver cuffs fell to the ground. They left behind a faint red…

the bright lights. As I woke up it felt like another day of work, just without the proper amount of sleep. I swung my feet across the bed realizing the answer to get a little more motivated was to take a shower. I grabbed the hair spray, mousse, bobby pins, hair donut, dropped them off in the bathroom; then took a quick trip to return for my clothes and a towel. After the steamy shower, putting my hair into a perfect bun was the challenge. Every baby hair decided to pop out and to think in five…

The bell rang dismissing students from the torture called school. Piper and I packed up our belongings and made our way out of the library. "Hey, Piper, did Gabe give you a solid reason why he broke up with you?" The question should have been asked earlier, but my evil mind had gotten way ahead of me. "Nothing in particular. He said we were getting too serious. Thus, we were done," Piper answered. I nodded and replied, "Well, he will be regretting it soon. I need to go to my locker. I'll meet…

It has only been sixty-nine years since sports were integrated by Jackie Robinson and it seems so long ago but this pivotal event is only two generations removed from my generation. Based off this one event, sent a ripple effect throughout all other sports as well, because it allowed many to see what African American new and that was that we are just as good or if not better than our white counterparts when it come sot sports. However, on the other side of the spectrum, you have the majority…
