Billowing Blizzard Baffles Boy “Trust me, I’ll be fine! Go have fun!” I exclaim, practically waving goodbye to my winter-wrapped family. Almost like they couldn’t wait to be rid of me, they climbed aboard their snowmobiles and drove off. Quickly, I shut the front door to my grandparents’ house. All alone. No family. Just me and this rickety old house for an hour or two. I take you wish for some kind of background here? ‘Suppose so. Leaving from my humble abode to my grandparents’ was a bore.…

Unlike other suspension bridges constructed around this time, the Tacoma Bridge failed to withstand wind speeds over 40 miles per hour, due to unequal stress on parts of the bridge. The construction of a suspension bridge must include geometric…

Obtaining Smart Goals I plan on obtaining my smart goals by buckling down and becoming a better leader not just for the employees of JAK but also for myself. I plan to finally put a stop to that nasty habit of procrastination and set aside those two solid hours daily to focus solely on myself and my duties. I know…

Devastated. No word better encompassed my feelings. The first AP Environmental test of the semester had been returned and slowly but surely, the optimistic faces that littered the classroom had dimmed to faces of despair. My eyes frantically roamed the scantron that was loaded with red marks indicative of me selecting one wrong answer after another. It was simply inconceivable to me that the place where a glittering A was supposed to be instead held a vapid 73. Leading up to what I considered…

I had grown tired of waking up in this cold and sterile environment of the hospital NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). As every morning nurses were bustling, getting the first round of vitals on each tiny patient, updating health profiles, and getting prepared for new arrivals to the NICU. Today came as a relief escaping the bleak hospital halls for the comfort of home, no more monitors, tests, or paperwork. Bringing my precious baby home after forty-four days was long awaited; once home I…

Drivers who choose not to wear seatbelts are also the drivers who engage in risky behavior when behind the wheel (Higgins). By making seatbelt use mandatory, more of these drivers will start buckling up, which can lead to them making better choices about driving. Observational surveys have shown that seat belt use in fatal crashes is much lower(Higgins). This is a critical reason to why primary seatbelt laws are so important. Not only do they…
