Staggering bravery I can definitely say that my high school years were some of the best years. It carries heavy concentrations of memories and experiences, for me; the perfect blend of laughs, cries and frustration. Every day was never the same.

and bicker sometimes. He can have a short temper sometimes, but the more time we spend together the closer we become. A couple of years later my little brother asked, " will you teach me how to play baseball?" So I did, and the next day we went to the baseball field where the grass is green and smells freshly cut. The first thing I did was teach him how to hit the ball. At first he used a tee, but as the day went on he got to where he wanted to hit the ball with me throwing it to him. Then…

Winston Churchill once said, “Success is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” This quote would guide me through the past few months of learning how to fish and taught me that nobody is perfect, so it is alright to struggle a little. It is how you learn from that struggle that really sets you up for how quickly you want to succeed. Learning to fish would prove to be the most important life lesson that I would experience. In fact, I would apply it to different aspects of my life.…

If I had no TV, computer or video games for a week what would I do? My mom grounded me from watching TV because I stayed out to late with friends, now I can?t watch for a whole week instead I will go hunting, fishing, and work with Jim. When I go hunting I like to go by myself so I don?t have to listen to anyone talk. My favorite kind of hunting is deer hunting and squirrel hunting. I will shoot a buck or a doe just whatever walks by really. My favorite gun to hunt with is a 308 243 or a 270…

could stay all year. Yawning and hungry from months of hibernation, stinky bears rush to the lake to rinse off the winter days and catch a bite to eat.

I chose three subtopics The struggle with identity, the desire to be someone else, and the negative effects this desire has caused.

In The Talented Mr Ripley Tom has trouble being his own person. We see this when he says he can forge…

Catch 22 The Struggle of Being a Boxing Writer and a Fan I remember growing up in North Philadelphia in a city where Boxing is a way of life. I was living with my grandparents along with my parents and 2 brothers. My Grand Father Victor Roldan who was a Boxing Addict would record every major Boxing match on VHS. I remember watching Felix “Tito” Trinidad’s early matches and the happiness it brought him to see Tito win. My Gramps would teach me Combinations like Jab, Straight Right, Left Hook,…
