Civic, power locks, power windows, sunroof, alloy wheels, and the best part was that it was a stick shift. Sitting inside the car for the very first time was a feeling that I will never forget. I know that most cars come standard with those features, but back in 2004 that car was my dream come true, specially after watching The…

started to set and the children in the neighborhood begin to head home, when I could distinctly hear Survivor by Journey; Jorge was calling my phone. Jorge had been distant for the past few weeks and as a matter of fact his attendance at school was quite poor so I was not sure what he needed. In a soft monotone voice and with long pauses between his sentences he says, "Hey man, I need someone to talk too. Would you be able to come over. I can't do this over the phone." Without any hesitation I…

player from the team. We became friends and the relationship became a life time commitment. Today we are happily married. Basketball added fun to my life. It gave me something to do and a group to belong in high school. Instead of sitting down at home watching television and playing video games, I engaged myself with basketball practices.

Timberwolves are trying to reach the college student market, which otherwise, may not be able to afford the regular priced game. Getting a large number of college students to the game has the potential to increase crowd noise and activity, thus increasing home court advantage; which, ultimately, can lead to an increase in wins.

It was all about a dream, a dream of a simple child. Madiba considered his life as a challenge to overcome. Sometimes, it’s the fear of failure itself that make a dream impossible to achieve. Madiba couldn’t think about failure even though his situation headed for the…

For the remainder of the day only five more trucks come. Today will be harder I tell myself and maybe longer, but after two weeks it will be worth it. I arrive and can already hear the loud truck engines as one is leaving the scales. Once I clock in, I go to the office where the dust is so thick I can…

“Stop and put your hands where I can see them!” The officer hollows as he continues running after the boy, who has the stolen loaf of bread cradled in his arm like a running back running a football. Donny bolts through the busy sidewalks filled with people. The officer continues behind him and radios in but is slowly losing track. “We have a 10-43 requesting backup on Yawkey way.” Donny has a 100 foot gap on the enervated officer.
