Flat racing

10,000 ft up in the Rocky Mountains skiing my first black diamond ever. I slowly approached the trail as my heart was racing. With the Gopro on my chest I glanced over the edge and saw a huge vertical drop my mind says I'm not ready but my body wanted that adrenaline rush. My skis pointed straight down the edge and all my mass shifts forward and was off. Avoiding the moguls I swiftly weaved in and out making a powder wave that trailed behind me.

"The cost of educating an undergraduate student in a particular subject area is roughly the same at Pennsylvania State University, a public institution, as it is at Cedar Crest College, a private one is flat-out wrong” (Hochner, par. 4).

screamed. Nothing. I gave him another breath, and another, and another. Nothing. I started to do chest compressions, but found that I didn't seem to have the strength in my arms to feel that I was being of any use. Adrenaline kicked in. My thoughts were racing. I thought "I need help, NOW!" "where is my phone?" I then remembered that my cell phone was sitting on my in-laws piano bench back at their house. Oh the irony. That I can remember were I left my cell phone but can't seem to remember to…

out? What is this stabbing feeling in my chest? I need to go to the emergency room right now!” Those are just a few of the thoughts racing through my head on November 3, 2015 the day I will never forget. The day the doctor told me, “You have a mass covering your left lung and it looks as if it may be cancerous, so a biopsy is necessary.” He went on to tell me in a flat tone that they needed to transfer me because they didn’t have the equipment necessary to keep me alive. “Oh,” he saved the best…

This need to be alike kills the sense of individuality that used to be sought after, and creates the feeling of being an outcast.

In the late 1800s technology was starting to speed up, early automobiles and “flying machines” were being produced. Early motion picture devices such…

His breast rose in a long neglected breath andhe raised his eyes upwards. He looked into the empty greenish blue sky and down again to the earth which formed a flat, round carpet, deep down in infinity, and at the sun which was rolling westwards like a glowing ball. Last of all he looked at the head of the pilot who sat before him, at the airman 's cap which turned, neckless, into shoulders filled with a bullish…
