Many theories have been proposed on what exactly would take place post nuclear war via multiple works of fiction. Stories like "There Will Come Soft Rains" and even games such as the Fallout series present their own ideas on what the world will be like after it has been engulfed in nuclear fire. These representations are all incredibly interesting and provocative. However, in the story, "Searching for Summer," readers are presented with a world where most have given up hope. Interestingly enough…

“Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Pleaseeeee! C’mon, let’s go! We have to!” I shouted. It was January 20th, 2015. 8:00pm. (AKA my birthday). We were in the middle of having cake. And as in we, I mean my Mom, Danny, Zio, Nonna, and Nonno. As we were enjoying our strawberry cake, we were discussing if we should drive to Arizona or not. The only reason we were thinking about going is because, well, Danny’s mom had just passed away and my Nonna Angie (his mom), and Nonno Vito (his dad) had a house out in…

Planning I decided to do my macro project for those suffering from addiction entering treatment at these two agencies, Addiction Treatment Center (ATC) and Women’s Renewal House (WRH). These two agencies helped me change my life around for the better. I wanted community members to understand that people do not choose to become an addict, and addicts can change.

Each chapter has a different story to tell with one thing in common;…

Jobs I’ve Held Jobs are very important to me. I am very thankful for the jobs that I have held in my life. From my first job to my current job, all of my jobs have helped me become the person I am today.

you don’t see a smart, organized, intelligent man. But I do. He is organized not just for enjoyment. He has a reason. He likes living in a comfortable environment. All his clothes are hanged and folded nicely. His room looks like a suite at the holiday inn. He is very good when it comes down to finances and organizing a spreadsheet. I think he gets that from his mom because she is an accountant. He likes to keep his daily tasks organized like a to-do list: wake up, shower, breakfast, work, pick…

Nessa kissed Tim on the cheek twice. “You saved me,” she said to him, vulnerably. He took her by the hand and prayed for their fortification, as he drove down Kennedy Street. “Amen,” they uttered simultaneously after he concluded. Nessa drew in a deep breath and exhaled. “I appreciate you for coming,” she told him, feeling as though she had inconvenienced him. “You know I wouldn’t have took it personal if you said you couldn’t come. I’m sure your wife was unhappy with you leaving at that time of…
