After working to save seventeen hundred dollars my mom and I drove to the Honda dealer to go get the car of my dreams.

Without any hesitation I…
Doing something that I had always wanted to do and adding personal effort to it had brought out the best in me. Doing something well makes me feel good about myself, but importantly, it teaches me the process of how to improve on my skills and work efficiently.

Playing together as a team creates a special…
I hate rapists for they took Nora from me and I will surely make any I end up personally meeting suffer. I hate those that try to stand before me, obstacles in the way of my ambitions shall be moved aside, with as minimum force as needed. I tend to hate unpleasantries but once in a great while I will go out of my way for what must be done. I…
both knew this was a once in a lifetime moment. We talked and ate slowly, determined to make the night last as long as possible. The boy who I had known exclusively through webcam and Facebook messenger was now suddenly sitting on the same bench as me. I felt like a thirteen-year-old girl again- I was distracted by his voice, the way he moved his hands as he spoke, the way he rambled when he was nervous. The whole experience felt incredibly surreal; I didn’t want the night to…

After all, things always went according to plan before I moved here, my days quiet, orderly, peaceful – dull, boring and predictable. Now? Let’s take my failed attempt at a barbeque for example, my efforts to throw the party of the year resulting in the fiasco of a lifetime. I swear, I will never live long…

likes Batman and Harry Potter. Dr Vincent Chiang, the chief of Children’s Inpatient Services comments, “This is about the parents and the children. There’s a feeling of helplessness and vulnerability for our parents here. When people like Kendrick come to visit, just for that moment, the parent gets to be a fan. Sometimes it’s for the parents as much as the patients. A visit like this gives their lives normalcy again. It’s a way to make the helpless, vulnerable feeling go away for a little bit…
“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.

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. Donny reaches the street corner and makes the split-second…
