Field officer

The Paintball Life "Go! Go! Rush through it! He's the only one left! Go! Go! Goooo!" Purple smoke is only thing between me and the enemy player. Heart is racing, shoots are still being fired from both sides of the field. Deep breath, gun up and go. If you've played paintball before, you know exactly what I'm talking about. A full bore rush of adrenaline, a learning experience, an adventure to the unknown and of course there's nothing better than wearing war paint while talking with the team…

Which brings up the next point where many people find fields they fall into, some stick to those fields simply because it’s a means to pay the bills, which can lead a person not to be happy for flourish in that field. I am more of a person that likes to change fields, I am someone that is all over the place, and I worked in a machine shop running a CNC laser machine that would cut products out for various companies…

In the story, “The Man Who Was Almost a Man” the gun and the mule are two apparent symbols that contribute to the meaning of the story. They both relate through the character Dave, a teenager who desires power, respect, and independence. The gun represents Dave’s idea of manhood, specifically Dave’s desire to be a man. The mule, most importantly, the death of the mule, symbolizes Dave, his growth into a man, and the passing of childish ways. Impulsively, Dave buys a gun thinking that it will…

It is hard to keep a commitment without making sacrifices. This can be seen by looking at a few elements of the movie Radio Flyer’s plot. Radio Flyer, directed by Richard Donner, is a film about two boys named Mike and Bobby, their mother and their abusive stepfather, who likes to be called The King. Mike, as the older child, promises to protect Bobby and help him achieve his goal of escaping from The King. First, Mike and Bobby sacrifice their safety by not telling their mother of The King’s…

Hi, I’m Elena Hoxha. I was born during the Middle Ages by my parents Eda and Ermo Hoxha. They were born Serfs, then, I thought it was pretty cool to be a Serf. It sounded cool. But, apparently, being a Serf sucks! When I was seven, Eda brought us some bread, it was coarse and black. This was apparently a special day for the Serfs. Then next time we got that kind of bread was a month after. As I grew up, my mom taught me how to do what every women Serf does. She also had me wake up at 3am every…

really hard to learn how to play soccer at the age of twelve, specially when there wasn’t a lot of field it practice at, and that it was that it was expensive to rent a field back then, but that’s again if you find a field available to rent! Fields back then were made of grass but all you can see was dust and if you fall then that’s it, you’re hurt. Ehab wished that he could practice often in fields like the ones we have now. So basically it was difficult to learn and practice soccer back…

We as a society need to encourage more young girls and women to take an interest in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In 2009, 48% of the United States workforce was comprised of women while 52% comprised of men (Kimmel et al, 2012). While the slight deviation in percentage seems small, when STEM field jobs were looked at in particular, it was realized that that 76% of the STEM jobs are held be men while women only held on to 24% (Szelényi et al, 2013). In…

By the end of September 26th I was exhausted. That was the day I did my semester project for civics class. I volunteered to staff the Kickfest soccer tournament that is held annually at the middle school. My day included field managing, working the concessions and even refereeing games. I volunteered with my friends Lindsay and Julia. We enjoyed the experience and plan on doing it again next year. We thought this was a really good way to help out a program that is on a budget and can't hire…

more and more fields, until one day, he was the owner of every farm in the village. His neighbors, friends, and relatives did not know what to do, as the only way to Aongus’ heart was money. He considered himself to be king of the village, and disregarded any advice he was given. He punished those who disagreed with him by leaving them and their families without any source food. Those who disobeyed his orders were brutally beaten and forced to work in inhumane conditions in Aongus’ fields. For…

The words that are typed on this paper do not begin to describe the experience or the feeling in which I encountered today. Describing the place and all its elements would not be enough. La Ventana De Los Cielos is place outside of the norm. One could say, it’s a place of no judgment, where people are free. I knew I was going to have a great day even before I we got inside the farm. The decoration of the entire on the gate was breath. There were different quotes all over the farm. My farm quote…
