Drill bit

wonderful sunday and rest of their week. As the people leave, Mr. Hooper chats with the crowd and makes his way to his office. As he goes over his message from the morning, he notices a strange pressure coming from his chest. It goes away for a little bit. He treats it like it’s nothing. Once again he feels the pain and pressure and it starts to worry him. So, Mr. Hooper starts making his way home to relax and access the…

We sat down in the corner and talked more while we ate. Soon, a friend that I made, Skylar, had to return to a hotel that her dad was staying in since she wasn’t allowed to camp that night. Her dad came to the corner to pick her up and unexpectedly handed me a full pizza pie for everyone to share while Skylar was gone. The night went on, and the musical artist named Drake was playing a show at The Garden that evening. After the show began, security came out and told all of us that we were not…

Across the NWSL, teams are struggling to adjust to Leah Galton, the English rookie who started the season late but since then has scored three goals and notched three assists, reinvigorating a struggling Sky Blue attack. The Hofstra grad is the second English player to be drafted into the NWSL from the college ranks and the combination of an English pedigree with the fitness and strength that comes with an NCAA athlete has proved lethal this yearfor both Galton and Rachel Daly, the St. John’s…

My Life Soundtrack The first song I would have to choose is “ I’ve Been Watching You,” by Rodney Atkins. My favorite quote from this song would have to be, “He Said, I’ve been watching you dad, ain’t that cool. I’m your buck-a-roo, I wanna be just like you.” This quote has always gotten to me, especially from when I was very young. I have always wanted to be hardworking like my father, because I have always been proud of my father and I want him to be proud of me. The reason I have been proud…

Reflection I remember going to the College advisor and trying to figure out what class I would be taking for the fall semester of 2016. I was a little late in the enrollment process and some of the classes I wanted to take were either not available or completely filled. So my advisor asked me if I would be interested in taking speech class. I thought to myself “I don’t really like talking in front of people but it is a requirement.” So I signed up for Introduction to Speech Communication…

Desolation Destination I never thought it would be such a huge deal when he started working at his new job. I didn’t think of a lot of things, and in a way, I was really unprepared. He had been at the house for a good 3 months getting ready to start his job. To me, and pretty much our whole family, this time period life was most enjoyable and entertaining. He had never been at the house for such a long period of time, and we had an avid time while he was there, but it's when he is not there…

tv with my blanket over me and my pillow under my head. I grabbed the remote and turned on the tv, just to find out that my favorite show was not on tv. My favorite tv show at that time was called Suite Life on Deck. After a watching it for a little bit i became very tired again and before you know it, I was asleep. Right there on the couch wrapped tightly in my blanket and I was nice and cosey. That was until I heard my mom yelling at me to get up off the couch. I asked “Why did you wake me…

sounds good with my last and middle name, and I could not imagine having a name other than Preston. I am a person that tries their hardest at anything they do. I love to help anyone I can, because it lets me know I made someone's life just a little bit better.…

Deep in the forest there was a bunny’s burrow, her name was Wendy. Three miles away there was a fox’s hut, his name was Brad. The Wendy’s biggest fear was coming face to face with a fox.

He looked at his stomach and it growled. “Lunch time!” he thought to himself. Brad was so hungry he could eat a…

Believing there is a beautiful place beyond is all the good I can hang onto. After the tragic death of my mum and little sister Betty, I am stuck in this sick world of my fathers. He is never home and when he is, it's like I am trapped in a world of hurt. The person my father used to be is now gone and I am left with a stranger that drinks. Before the accident, he would never touch anything like alcohol, but he's the only known family I've got now. "ANDROMEDA" yells Dad from downstairs "GET…
