Childhood's End

towards the theater with Mason close behind. The way Mason paced himself only made it seem like he was having a struggle keeping up with the doctor. The walk lasted for roughly five minutes as they passed many miniature buildings. The theater is at the end of the road standing greater then the rest of the buildings. The theater was once a proud opera house with many floors below the opera floor. After many years of running the…

It appears that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will be without one of his favorite wide receivers this upcoming season. According to Dan Hellie of the NFL Network, the Miami Dolphins signed former New England Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola to a two-year, $12 million deal ($8.25 million guaranteed). The former undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech spent the last five seasons in New England, after beginning his career with the St. Louis Rams. Amendola won two Super Bowls with…

“Kingdom of God”, “the day of the LORD”, “the end of the world”, “the last judgment” and “a new heaven and a new earth.” These words are the image of eschatology, and eschatology is an important subject in the Bible. Even Donald K. McKim says that the theme of the Bible is the kingdom of God (McKim, 167). In the Gospel, Jesus taught about the kingdom of God in his whole life and ministry, and the kingdom of God is represented as “already, but not yet” (McKim, 170). John Calvin, a 16th century…

At first, It was my team and I just sitting in our little locker room. We were banging on the lockers as hard our hands could handle. Then the music started playing. “BOOM! HERE COMES THE BOOM, I DON’T REALLY WANT IT NOW.” Then, we sprinted out of the locker rooms at full speed. The team was so intimidated by our appearance. We were screaming and yelling chants to get our team and the crowd fired up. Then, it was kickoff time. My buddy Shawn got the ball on kickoff and ran it back to the 50…

schedule for the duration of my time with Masonic. My nervousness at this time has subsided since Ms. Renee was so friendly and warm. I had my departmental tour with Ms. Rahimzadeh and she introduced me to the staff that was present at the time and at the end of the tour I was taken to Document Imaging to start my day. I spent all of my first day with Maria Marin in document imaging. Her duties were to assemble the health records and scan them into the system. Once the records are scanned the…

District Attorney Jeffery F. Rosen launched the Santa Clara County Conviction Integrity Unit in 2011 and had David Angel head the unit. This county CIU shares the same structure as Manhattan, by having both a front-end and a back-end approach, that way to prevent future wrongful convictions by reviewing cases and limiting errors. The District of Attorney Office structure is to maintain accountability and commitment to integrity; because Rosen supervises both the CIU and…

Rules play a significant part in any activity system. How we define an activity system is best described in the essay “Activity Theory” by Kain and Wardle. In this essay they define an activity system as “a group of people who share a common object and motive over time, as well as the wide range of tools they use together to act on that object and realize that motive.” (Kain and Wardle 275). They establish boundaries and limits to maintain order in a given system as an example the “Dead Ball”…

Thought about all the great times I’d had over the season. And that’s when I realized that this was just a taste of what was to come. With high school coming to an end, football wouldn’t be the only thing I’d never get to do again. I realized that we were all growing up. In a few months, everyone was going to head their separate ways. Some guys would go off and play college ball, and some would go mooch off their…
