Figure skating

On the last day of school before the Christmas holidays, Percival was taking his class down to the local outdoor rink for an afternoon of ice skating. A gang of fifteen eight-year-olds was a little much for Percival to handle on his own but fortunately Gwaine wasn't scheduled for a shift at the fire station that day, so he'd volunteered to help…

Oh Snap, That was my Wrist, Here's how it Happened… A few years back, I decided I wanted to be cool and have my Birthday party at Rollercade. When I told my mom, she was excited that I wanted to learn how to skate. But then again, nervous because there would be kids who are 10ft taller than me and don’t pay attention. But I guess I’d have to deal with that problem when it occurred. I invited ALL of my friends to come, but on the night of the party, only 4 people actually came, but I guess it was…

I believe almost everyone encounters a feeling of doubt when it comes to their future; no matter how prepared they think they are. In Gordon Marino’s ‘A Life Beyond Do What You Love’, he explains that sometimes the right (sometimes even ethical) thing to do is not what you love, but whatever it is that will allow a person to fulfil their responsibilities and take care of their family. Dr. Marino states he is an advisor, occupational counselor, and counsels economically. Marino uses the…

Diversity is an important trait in a business or your life in general. There are very many reasons as to why this is a true statement. Diversity is a range ofor different things or a variety.

I shove my headphones into my ears and turn up the song I 'm obsessed with, Tainted Love by Marilyn Manson. I light another cigarette then neared off to the park where I can be alone. ~ I push the snow off the bench and plop down. The park is quiet and lonely; no one in sight except for me. I look at the jungle gym and study the frost on the bars. I wish for a damn miracle. I twirl my foot in the snow making an imperfect circle. I switch positions and feel the papers in my back pocket; I take…

She stopped in front of Mr.Andren’s desk. As if there wasn’t enough red flags glued to this ball of bad feelings. It didn’t take very long for me to be called out the room. I was followed by Mr. Anderson. He was mad as fire. It took me a minute to figure out what had happened when I did I immediately knew Shela had done it. She had signed my name on a page in a Curse Book that Sheila had “found”. Mr.Anderson wouldn’t calm down enough to let me explain. So for just a second I hated him. For just…

This quote relates to one of many ways I feel about running. By being a runner, I have come very far as a person. I would not be the person I am if I didn’t have such a love for this demanding sport. To me, being a runner is more than just an extracurricular for fun and because of this I have been taught many valuable life lessons. Throughout my life I have done many sports, but I have never found anything I was good at. I decided to try cross country, and after the first practice, I knew this…
