Cliff

Whether it is climbing an actual cliff or simply getting hooked up on a climbing wall, it is pure pleasure. The simple rock wall is where my joy for this started. My family went to the fair and they had one set up, the little indomitable me was begging to try it out. As soon as my dad paid…

out that at the top of the waterfall there was a cute little geocache. So naturally, I had to go with him and a couple of my cousins to go and find it. When we were almost to the top after a long climb, I lost my balance on the edge of a cliff. Mind you, this cliff was 50 feet down to a little pool that was about four feet deep. So basically if I fell it would mean certain death. The only logical thing to do was to grab onto something. Completely ignoring the tree right in front of me, I went…

Individuals look at freedom as something that they have based on the fact that one has choices. However, individuals make choices based on their surrounding. The argument for that statement would be to get out of that surrounding. The answer to that would not be so simple for the individual making those choices. The definition of freedom varies from person to person and to the…

One can observe Holden’s…

we’ll fix that.” “But I’m guessing you’re not here to thank me,” I growl. “You’re not as dumb as you look,” he states. “I’m here asking why you were there.” “Oh, just looking over last night’s footage where I was wandering around, jumping from cliff to cliff and…oh yeah overhearing some very interesting conversions,” I answer, telling the truth. There’s no point in lying. I flash a smile up at him as I stand up, catching the ball in mid-air. “If you are going to threaten to kill me, then at…

his pose for a second, letting it all exhale with a loud and pleased sigh. Opening his eyes he saw enormous mountain ranges stretching beneath him. He was about 5 feet away from a sharp cliff face that lead to a gruesome demise. The sigh gained the attention of his horse behind him that refused to approach the cliff.

Recently, I have focused on shadowing two physicians at Ear, Nose, and Throat Care in Oak Cliff, Texas and providing dinner to a youth emergency shelter through the charity SouthWest Kids. These experiences reinforce and strengthen my motivation toward a health career because by becoming a physician I will be providing a service to the…

Lord of the Flies One may believe that William Golding’s Lord of the Flies could be based off of the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes who believed that human nature is essentially evil and that government, laws, and rules are necessary to protect humans from lapsing into society.
