Children Act 2004

You believe in them, despite what everyone else says about them, you take their side. When you need some to rely on, you can count on them. They will be there for you, drop everything they're doing and go to you. Maybe you are in need of some new food to try, you ask them and they tell you about a great place. You take their word, and the food turns out being amazing or it doesn't; but you believe in them. They probably don't have the same taste buds as you, and maybe you knew that, so then why…

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…

He shrugs. “I mean, I feel better now than I did on Monday?” It will have to be enough, Darlene thinks, and surges forward, ignoring how tight he goes under her hands. “Stop it,” she says into the prickly start of his hair. “I’m your sister and I love you, and you can hug me once in a while. You already tried to kiss me.” Elliot laughs a little. “I won’t do it again, I promise,” he says, but his body goes quiet in her arms, and he actually reaches up and hugs her back, just a little. His hands…

We’ve all had experiences that greatly impact our lives. Some have more impact than others, some in good ways and others in bad ways. Regardless of the emotions we assign the experiences, they help shape who we are. The unique views, opinions, habits, character traits, and perceptions we have are molded out of these numerous experiences. I have had so many experiences that have changed the way I view the world, the people in it, and myself. One of these such experiences happened to me when I was…

Unit Life: I like my unit a lot. We get along very well without much effort; however, we aren't as close as we could (or maybe should) be. I know that I contribute to that just as much as anyone else does, and that people find myself and the things that I do just as weird and annoying as I find the things that they do weird and annoying. We don’t do many activities together except for required things: church, worship nights, learning components, family dinners etc. This is something that I think…

My eyes snapped open and my heart was beating like I had woken up from a nightmare. Immediately, I could tell something wasn't right, not at all. I rushed to the mirror on morning sea legs, clutching the mirror's edge so tightly, I was sure it would break. I stared blankly at my blurry reflection. My shirt, it... was green. I persisted to the window and yanked open the curtain. For as far as I could see (which wasn't very far), the view from my bedroom window was... green Suddenly, I was…

Driving through black iron gates and circling around parked cars with fogged windows, I proceed to the dimly lit parking garage. With minimal light and dozens of parked cars I continue to the second level to find a space. Loud music, chirp chirp from alarms and slamming doors have become a part of my morning routine. I cut the engine off and gather my belongings for the day all while making the same chirpings noises I heard a few minutes prior. Pulling out what looks like a credit card from…

On October 5, 2015, I was unfortunate enough to watch and listen to this man speak about his baseball career and about his foundation that he has created. I had many issues with his speech, however. Steve Sax talked about a lot of things in a short period of time and jumped around often. He wasn’t able to stay focused on one topic for long. Steve Sax. Steve’s delivery, organization, and content were all over the place. Steve spoke with a quiet voice that faster than he should have been and his…

“Let me introduce you to Mercedes, Champagne, and ah… Virginia. I’m glad had finally decided to show up. I’m thinking about flying down to a friend’s private island for a party I’ve just been invited through a text from him and you’re coming with me. I can’t speak for these lovely ladies because not one of them seems as if they won’t mind flying naked. As you can see…” All three girls took off their bikini tops and threw them at Geo giggling and swinging their chest playfully. I would…

After the one-week break, I am glad that we got back to normal therapy sessions. As stated previously, Kenosha is a kind and talented doctoral student but I cannot make an emotional connection with her as a client. On the other hand, you are so important for me both as a teacher and therapist. In fact, since the begging of this semester I am most reactive to you in the group. The last session made me thought about your role and importance for me. Throughout the seven weeks, group provided me a…
