I dreaded going to school every morning and having to put up with 8 hours of feeling like I was born stupid. My teacher, principal, and vice-principal did not have very good faith I was…

Research Portfolio: The retrospective data gathered for this paper will be the foundation for the argument. The book and papers previously mentioned will serve a significant role in helping to gather information because they themselves are detailed and all contain a preponderance of further readings on the subject.

The car was ready for our trip to Emerald Isle North Carolina. My brother Will and I argued on who would sit in the “hump” in the car. The “hump” was the tightest, most cramped and the seat that can’t adjust in the middle of the two awesome window seats.
