Ice Skating And that’s how I broke my leg, just kidding, but I bruised it really badly, here’s the story behind that. was December 2014, my sister had discovered the “joy” of ice skating and was obsessed with it. She constantly asked my parents if her and her friends could go ice skating at the arena. I had never gone ice skating before and asked her one day if I could go with her and her friend Lucy. We got in the car to go pick up Lucy with the usual silence the whole ride. When we…

They twisted down corridors until they came to a room separated in the middle by glass. “Master Jiom,” said the woman whom he had contacted before. “I gathered Jesex, but I haven’t sent them out yet, because I was waiting for word from you─” “Yes, yes, Tamare, that was appropriate.” The men stood on the other side of the glass, a row of buttons in front of them. “Meg, I shall grant mercy, but…

My midnight black eight-year-old eyes stare intently at the tall man standing in front of me. He wears a purple and yellow striped shirt, a very unflattering color combination, with thick sand-tan cargo shorts, and piled on top of his head is a massive brown afro. Who is that? I wonder as I clasp my sister’s sweaty chubby hand tighter. The man steps aside to reveal a big banner on the doorway. “Yerba Buena Skatebowl Camp” it reads, and it hangs lopsided, one end brushing the top of a young…

Popping An Ollie Physics Around Campus Ryan Meehan Physics 102 Spring 2017 This is a picture of me popping an ollie in the basement of Dooley Hall. An ollie is the first trick that many skaters learn, as it is the foundation for almost every other trick and can help skaters avoid obstacles such as small cracks and rocks that could ruin your day, and knees.

Unconsciously, she was still seeking a father figure, a continuation of her childhood. As she herself realized, ."..I passed from Daddy's hands into yours. You arranged everything . . . and so I came to share it--or pretended to..." (Act III…

Keep it on your radar. Be aware of everything around you. Heads up or you might miss all of the fun around you. Look with eyes wide open. Watch for cues from customers. You have to choose to be engaged in your surroundings and not let the day to day create blinders. Don’t let future growth, new ideas, and potential success pass right by while you are looking the other way. Give us an inch and we can turn it into a foot. Little things are what get noticed, especially when things are…

The Truest Wisdom Are The Facts Filed Below Your Conscious If possible, she liked to think she was getting better at treating her friends well. She did not agree with everything they did and that was okay. Her best friend was someone she barely agreed with. It was either one or the other of them that did not think the other one was in their right mind, but it did not stop them from caring about each other. Then there were the others. No, she did not understand them at all (most of the time), but…

I believe everyone is familiar with stupidity. You know exactly how it feels as your brains are missing, so you can’t think about some things you want. In addition, when you are screw-up, you will think about why the others are so much smarter than you, how they are smart and how to fix the mistake. I know deeply how hard it is to fix the fear in our mind because I have experience about it and been failure as you fall in cliff then how to climb it without fighting. It isn’t impossible to reach…

The phrase, “do what you love,” is a saying many of us use when it comes to choosing a college major or a career. However, one person questions that phrase by asking if it is “wisdom or malarkey” (Pg. 1). That person is Gordon Marino and he is a philosophy professor at St. Olaf College. His article, called, “A Life Beyond Do What You Love,” questions the famous motto by saying that sometimes we should not do what we love, but rather do other things that will make the world around us better.
