I used to hate reading, it didn’t matter what book it was. Fiction, Non-fiction, Biography, Autobiography, none of it interested me at all. I also don’t have a good attention span, so if I didn’t like a book in the beginning my ears would shut off. I would stop listening to it, or I would stop remembering what I had just read. Until my freshman year, I wanted to do good in high school because high school is when grades start to matter. I had Mrs. Eischeid for my freshman year English I teacher,…

knees for a sign of adolescence. Sleeves vary greatly today. Some dresses have no sleeves, and instead are tight around the top of the bust and the circumference of the back. Others are long and laced revealing the skin underneath. Some, like the halter-top, go from under the arm and meet each other at the back of the neck.

Slipping my boots on, my focus was fully on the task of getting my mare bathed and ready for the barrel race we were heading to that evening. My thoughts racing in my head as I reached for her halter and lead from the hanger on the tack room wall. I've been to barrel races so may times in the past twenty years that I should be at ease, but I'm almost more anxious now than I've ever been before. Walking toward the gate, lost in my thoughts, I'm wondering what the night ahead has in store for…

graceful, and very fairytale-like with long, wavy manes and tails. They are unusually friendly, well mannered and gentle by nature. Friesian horses are really peaceful and sweet, so much so that in Holland, they often carry stallions round with just a halter on. Friesian horses are popular in both Europe and the…

Don't tell me to “spit it out “or try to finish my sentence. Listen as my check flush red and cold sweat and stress of retrospect Just listen. Listen, because you're discrimination halters and falters my ability to matter. And you have the nerve to say that “You shouldn’t be allowed speak aloud.” So then came the hours upon hours to elocution lesson. Suffocating at grips annunciation and articulation. Sputtering, stuttering, stammering…

When justices on the bench of the United States Supreme Court make their respective decisions on a case, they are faced with two outcomes. The first is that they can decide to overturn a decision from a lower court, deem a federal law unconstitutional, or nullify other federal or state statute. When the Supreme Court changes previous statute or overturns a previous court decision, it is judicial activism. But when the Supreme Court decides to uphold precedent, upholding laws passed by Congress…
