Felt

adrenaline. I could smell the sweat and freshly painted grass all around me, the stench burning my nose. I was scared but excited, I had never got the ball during a game and this was my moment. I felt like I had to do good but I didn't need a touchdown; I just needed a few yards and to hold on to the ball. I felt the ball slipping in my hands, so I wrapped my arms around like I was bracing for a big hit. Just then my gut wrenched as I realized that every player in a black jersey was coming for…

In the month of January, I found out my class rank: 33/113. When I first saw this figure, I immediately felt that it was a mistake. These numbers did not make sense. For one, in my previous school, I was ranked 12 out of 556 students. How could I have gone so low? I expected myself to be in the top 10% of my class because of my academic record of many PAP…

Pain is a necessary aspect of life. It can be broken down into two parts: emotional pain and physical pain. The latter could be a burn or a broken bone and is felt by the nerves in the skin that send signals to the brain. Emotional suffering is a pain not felt by nerves, nor can it be seen like a broken bone on an X-ray. Both make life uncomfortable but unfortunately, both are necessary. Getting hurt could mean both in an emotional or physical way but, without pain, there would be no way to…

thought just popped into my mind and I realized that it wasn’t 9 months from the time my parents got married to the time when I was born; it was only 7 months. The next day I asked my mom about it and she finally told me the truth about that situation. I felt like that had explained…

I never thought this moment would come. Never thought I would feel so empty and emotionless inside. On the morning of July 17th, 2011, it had felt like a typical summer morning. I had woken up and was just laying in my bed for a while, feeling the sun on my face and the light summer breeze. I must have fallen back asleep because moments later I was abruptly awoken by my brother. The unthinkable had happened. Words I never thought I would hear my brother say came spewing out of his mouth. My…

opening day had begun. I felt excited for that night that it was difficult to stay still. When we reached my grandpa’s house, we pulled out our all-terrain vehicle and drove it about a half mile to our stand right in the middle of a swamp. The first hour out in the woods was uneventful. I sat there looking at the…

a topic or story. Ever since I was a lass, I felt I could not express myself with my words through my voice. I was always faint hearted. I felt like my voice was very small. No one would hear me or even understand how I felt. Socializing was not in my dictionary. People would laugh because I never said a word. They thought I was a ghost roaming around with no future. Every time I talked, they laughed because my voice sounded like a mouse. I felt undignified with myself. At…

Boulevard region are highly advised to stay inside. - C. Glen 1998 On a dreary night, at the corner of Redstone Boulevard, Andrew trudged home from his friend's house. Walking at night, by the stone paved roads and dimly lighted sidewalk, Andrew felt alone. Something that had become a habit for Andrew since the night his parents died. He still…

place that she had come from. It was huge and black. It had the same shape as the screen back in her room. It did not belong in this place of pure beauty. The Voice had lied. Told her that her life was the only life. 47 felt a new feeling now. She felt her body tighten and heat. She felt this one in her head. 47 was angry. She decided to leave, though, and forget about anger. It didn’t make her feel good. After all, what could she do? Then she saw movement out of the corner of her eye. She heard…

scandal never would have happened without a few key people. If it weren't for Richard Nixon, the Committee to Re-Elect the President, Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein, and Mark Felt, the Watergate scandal would not have happened and Richard Nixon would not have been the first president to resign. Carl Bernstein, Bob Woodward, and W. Mark Felt played critical roles in the Watergate scandal because they wrote stories about Watergate, they had good connections, and their stories had a big impact on the…
