High Noon

The Road to a new Chapter Now that I am soon heading to college in Oregon and leaving almost all of my friends and my family I wonder what new chapter I will soon start with in my life. As my best friend Ziggy and I drove all the way to Oregon we were discussing all the awesome memories we had when we were little and how I once sprayed her with water because she was dressed like a ghost and almost made my heart pop out. Ziggy has been my best friend since we were in preschool. I met Ziggy when…

in 1984. All-star cheerleading was established in 1992. High school cheerleaders, jump, scream and wave to support their sports team. All-star cheerleaders, tumble, stunt and sweat to prove they are the best and strongest girls with the biggest smiles. All-star cheerleaders and High school cheerleaders are so often bunched together because in the eyes of the general public there is not much to differentiate between the two. All-star and high school when understand to the fullest have almost no…

socially awkward. The best I can do is to go off of my experiences. I fail to understand how public school is considered social when kids are in class most of the day and then go home to work on homework. Some days I would be done with school before noon, giving me freedom to spend the rest of the day however I wished! I was involved in private music lessons, choir, several Missoula Children’s Theater plays, youth group and sports. Needless to say, I did not miss out on learning social…

her education, only third grade because money was tight at the time and she wasn’t the only child, she was the first of nine all getting as far as third grade. My father on the other hand was the only child to go far in school, having finished all of high school with grades equivalent to straight “A.” Unfortunately my dad had lost his mom at thirteen and my grandfather’s damn machismo pride got in the way of my father’s education. He was given a scholarship to continue school. With this…

going to have fun this summer and work on getting better at baseball. I also planned on getting a job and saving my money up to be able to not have to worry about money during my senior year. That outlook and dream changed when I went from being a free high school student with minor responsibilities to a part time parent. Changing dirty diapers isn 't was I had planned for my senior year. I went from only worrying about myself to worrying about a new born baby, named Parker, and taking care of…

group meeting for the older classes in the cafeteria to explain what had happen and inform them that there were social workers, therapists, and nurses present to help. We counseled children experiencing anxiety in group and individual sessions. By noon, most of the children and staff seemed to be back into the routine of school. We were notified that 141 students were absent due to the fear of the bomb threat. The team was instructed to come back on Monday. After, returning we had a sessions…

I read the book Canoeing With the Cree by Eric Sevareid. This book is about two young men named Eric Sevareid and Walter Port. These men were best friends in high school. They decided to seek an adventure that summer by doing something that has never been done before. This was the first time an all-water trip had ever been made from Minnesota to the North Atlantic Ocean. Their plan was to start in Minneapolis and go to York Factory at the Hudson Bay. They canoed up the Minnesota River and its…

thinking it. In high school I began developing the nasty habit of falling asleep during 5th period. Every day. Almost the entire period. It came to be my happy time but it also reflected negatively on my work. Well obviously, you were asleep the whole time! Anyways, second quarter I transferred to a different class. Guess what? Fell asleep everyday. Second semester rolls by and I purposely change my 5th period to P.E. but come 6th period I would fall asleep. Everyday. My second year of high…

out. When I asked my parents for a phone, they quickly snapped back with a no and said that phones and texting are just the norm now and that it will be over pretty quickly. That was certainly not the case, in fact, as I moved on to middle school, high school, it just got worse with people walking around glued to their phones. It was just an excuse to comfort me. In fact, most parents have a perception that addiction to social media and socializing with friends will lead their children off…

littler present but nevertheless near the same amount as me. After we were tired again and it was around 4:30 we headed back to our rooms with our candy so no one else could take some out of ours to eat it. I soon fell into a light sleep after the sugar high went away, me and my brother would wait until we heard our parents start to wake up or my dads alarm go off, since it was christmas my dad wouldn’t have to go to work until 8 o’clock. We heard Nate get up to go get his stocking, he always…
