“Katie! Get up! You’re going to be late!” Mom yells from downstairs. I open my eyes and glance at my alarm clock. It reads 7:28. “Uh oh,” I think. “Coming, I’m coming.” I mumble, still half asleep. I rub my eyes and climb out of bed. I get dressed and go to the bathroom. I ride the escalator downstairs and sit down at the island. A bowl gets set in front of me. Cereal. Again. I know better than to complain, so I start eating. I finish and ride the escalator back upstairs for my second trip to…

The girls were a bit in front of me when I seen it trees and what does trees mean it must mean water! The girls are flipping out but can’t run because of being so tired from the heat. As we approach the trees I seen a little porch and 2 large trailer with the smell of rotten food. As we all walked up gina says “Maybe we should knock to see if anybody is in these if not lets break in!” I said “Okay that sound good both girls went up to the trailers and knocked “KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK” but no answer…

manufacturers to require retailers to sell merchandise at the same price to avoid price competition for their products (Antar, 2011). This type of regulations force Eddie Antar to look for a different alternative in order to remain in business. It appears as if his only options were to purchase overseas and overstock from other retailers. Crazy Eddie stores had one goal in mind; sell a product to every customer that walked into their stores. Greed and personal gain was the main reason why the…

I remember the extensive heat and the annoying sound of mosquitos revolving my head, I just layed on my bed thinking of what life had prepared for me. The thought of going through the most difficult moment in my life sadden me when was I to think that I would leave my parents and not be certain when I was to see them again. I could feel the emotion arising inside me, breath after breath I could feel an extensive knot build up within my throat. My face got stiff and my vision became blurry I…

After having watched The Lunchbox as well as The Piano, I've come to realize how well these movies demonstrate the correlation between love and happiness. With the help of characters like Saajan Fernandes, Ila, Ada McGrath, and George Baines, the directors are capable of showing us just how important partnership is in our lives as human beings. Even with the two movies being set in two completely different areas, the same concept continues to arise. Love and partnership is essential to…

A month ago I lost my best friend, Itzayana. It’s a day I will never forget. Almost every detail is as fresh as it was the day it happened. It was a Friday I was doing my homework. I remember taking a break and getting in my Facebook account feeling very stressful and nagging to myself, “it is only going to be a few minutes”. I got into Facebook and went directly to my messenger because there were two new messages. I checked the first one and it was my cousin from Mexico asking me if I was okay…

It was 7:05 as Michael got in his white Mercedes and pulled out of the driveway. He turned out of our neighborhood onto the main road and he was gone on his way to work. It was 7:15 and there was a loud bang from Sydney’s room as she ran into the kitchen. “Mom! I’m gonna be late to school! Charley didn’t pick me up this morning, I need a ride or I’m not gonna go!” Sydney screamed angrily from the opposite side of the house. Johnelle got out of her bed sleepily and rushed to the kitchen while…

Cabin Number 15 One day, some construction workers decided to build a campsite for kids close to the graveyard and the fishing lake in the forest. A construction worker said that the cabin that they built closest to the graveyard will be cabin number they each didn’t like. They came up with number fifteen. So after they built the whole camping site for kids, the whole place was a huge hit! With kids 7-15. Two years later... two girls complained that strange things were happening in cabin…

“Yes.” I didn’t want to chance anyone having the time to arrive home and having to introduce Blair. He walked to the door without another word. In the car he remained silent as I led him outside of town to the Crossroads Subdivision. The only conversation was my simple cues to turn right or left. Blair slowed the car to a stop in front of the log house. “Thanks Blair!” I said before stepping from the car. Halfway up the walk the front door opened and Jack appeared. His genuine smile shone…

“Thank you Old Lady Daniels!” I turn to face the faded white picket fence and continue to lightly skip to a rhythm, trying my best to dodge the cracks of the sidewalk leading out of the lady’s house. She sits on the wicker rocking chair on her dull porch that’s coordinates with her dull house which coordinates with this dull atmosphere. Once I start to get close to the road, I turn to face her to offer her a friendly wave. “Goodbye, Gregory. And please don’t call me old lady”, she replies. “Yes…
