From 2011 to 2012 I worked as a content creator for The Examiner, an online news site. This was before it became to bogged down in advertising and became more of an opinion site than an actual news site. I took a factual and practical approach to the writing. I wrote content under three different titles: Liberal Examiner, Green Examiner and Space Examiner. As a Liberal Examiner I covered issues and happenings that related to social liberalism. Social liberalism, is a political ideology that…

I was at Kings Pointe at the water park with my family. The one thing that I was most excited about was the high dive. My brother went first off the high dive because I wanted to see how he went off it and what he thought about it. Splash! Goes my brother into the water. As I watched him run and jump off the high dive. “Hey, want to go off the high dive after me it’s really fun.” Asked Carson “Sure it looked really fun was it?” I said. “Yah it was I was really nervous when I got up there but…

At 29,029 feet (8,848 meters), Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world in terms of altitude.

the best place to set up your line, it’s time to gather the necessary gear. This includes: • 1-inch climbing webbing, though you can choose 2-inch webbing if you prefer a wider line to walk on. This webbing should be about 40 to 50 feet long, depending on the amount of space you have to work with. Remember, the longer the line, the more vibration and sway you may be dealing with. • 5 oval climbing-strength carabiners. If using thicker line, you can substitute a ratchet for easier tightening,…

“Potential”, the devils word I’ve never been a fan of the word “potential”, not potential energy, but rather someone’s possible ability to achieve something. Being told, you have so much potential if you just… or if you did… telling me I can make it if I just do what they say. In baseball, “You have the potential to hit a homerun every game if you just turn your hips and twist your foot as though you are squishing a bug”, I had dreamed of hitting a homerun, and when my coach said that to me, my…

Meritocracy is a philosophy or a political system in which merits determine the social status of each individual. According to the Harrap’s Chambers dictionary meritocracy is “a social system based on leadership by people of great talent or intelligence, rather than of wealth or noble birth.” Even if it is never stated, most Western countries nowadays are using this meritocratic system, including America. It can be opposed to the aristocracy which is a government only led by a small part of…

felt much easier. The weather became warmer and we could clearly see our path. As I had predicted before, there was no major difficulty we faced in climbing this mountain. As soon as we reached the second base, my friend, Michael, challenged me to get back to the first base in just 1 hour. I accepted this challenge in order to prove my mountain climbing skill. I have conquered Mount Breckenridge in Colorado and Jiu Zhai Gou in China; hence, I thought this task will give me no trouble. But I…
