However, he conveyed the preliminary results to us yesterday which I will share with you now:The primary engineer who’s reviewing your questions is out of the office sick today, so it will be another day or two before our full…

Bang! Gunshots and explosions are the sounds that follow me. I can hear bullets quizzing passed my ears and I hear the screams of my fellow soldiers as they get hit in different locations around me. I try to aim my gun towards a Vietnamese, closing my eyes before I shoot. I don't look back to that area. I don't want to see whether or not I hit him. My heart pounds in my ears, but it's not loud enough to drown out the moans of pain that sicken me to the core. All I can think of is that…

I have had a rough life. I have been through a lot and I am ready to accept what has happened in the past. The idiots who called me names are gone. There is nothing I could gain from either yelling at them or beating the living day lights out of them. There were times that there were rumors that were spread about me like me being gay or not being able to get a girlfriend. Even though those rumors were false, I thought at the time everyone hated me and so I shut down emotionally. After that…

Amazing stories, amazing skills, an amazing story to…

The city streets scream out the ideals of entitlement. You are entitled to only the best, the top, the newest and you can’t be satisfied with anything less. There is a quote that goes, “Today’s better will always be bested by tomorrows better yet.” This means whatever you have is never enough. Face it, your new iPod nano 5th generation that was once the top on the market will soon be bested by the Nano 10th generation. “Good morning America”! All they did was change the shape and add a few new…

What are you grateful for? I’m grateful for my opportunities. Living in a small town in Iowa you might not expect there to be many things to do, but I’ve found invitations for adventure all around me. In eighth grade our school had a trip to our nation’s capital, my church group goes to conferences across states, our band was able to go to Chicago, and our soccer team went to Scotland. However the opportunity I’m most grateful for was when my parents were asked to go on a missions trip to Africa…
