Clapping

friends consist of the people I met on this pilgrimage even though they are from Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. We all come together to reach a goal. Usually, the goal is to get closer to our faith but it may differ. The sound of everyone clapping, playing guitars, singing and laughing fills the air even after countless hours of walking in either the blistering, hot sun or the cold rain. I dedicate myself to reach that sole feeling of accomplishment once I reach Our Lady of…

started to exit toward the nice locker rooms. Coach drew the gameplan and LeBron put me on his feet. I felt so happy that I was about to burst. We entered the court where the crowd was as loud as a booming thunder. Everyone was wearing red and clapping out of cheers. The game started and LeBron was missing every shot. After the 3rd quarter LeBron had only 5 points and we were losing. Crowd was booing at me and LeBron. This time I didn’t get down on myself. I was confident to contribute in the…

The style of vernacular music is powerful you can feel it in your voice, the crowd and the musician. Cultivated music is soft, elegant and high pitched rhythm and uses various instruments. In the second half of the nineteenth century the separation of the two types of music took place. The separation occurred because songs were taking more of a syncopated and rhythmic feel. Also, during that time marketing and promotion affected people’s listening style. One of the many vernacular songs I chose…

December 6, 2016 is a day that I’ll not forget anytime soon. I have never felt such a genuine energy and calmness at the same time. But the story really began four years before that in an airplane. I was nine years old on my way to America, and I was looking at a page of American sports. I held the page up to my parents, and I asked the question,”Which one of these is basketball?” because, in Ethiopia, I had never even seen a basketball. I remember the first time I tried shooting hoops at a…

the stage of reflexes, like sucking on objects. The second stage is the stage of first habits, this includes grabbing objects like their bottle to suck it. The third stage is the stage of making interesting events last, an example of this would be clapping hands when told to. The fourth and last stage is the stage for adaptation and anticipation. This would be like the baby doing something to for you to start playing with them…

Temple College Jazz Combo I attended a Brown Bag Event featuring the Temple College Jazz Combo, on November 29, 2016 from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM.

The quartet is comprised of Jacob Armstrong from Belton…

her dancing enticed the audience watching, her attitude she presented herself was sassy in the beginning to charismatic. She moved with energy, it makes a person feel as if they’re in a Bollywood music shoot/video. When she finished, the roar and clapping of the audience lets her know she’s done a spectacular performance. The next dance is termed Twitterpated, choreographed by Beth Bowen, performance by Jude Law. The song used is “Love and Marriage & In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning” by…

The Drop I looked ahead of me to see the beautiful coast of Maui, Hawaii. I saw plenty of waterslides, beach towels and beach chairs.The waterslides had long lines with people waiting impatiently while the beach chairs were set empty lined up like plastic soldiers. I smelled the scent of sunscreen being applied and I heard the noise of the waves crashing on the sand. " You ready kid?" The lifeguard said. I heard him, but all I could really think about was this waterslide. I also heard my…
