Host station

few plans were made, but one particular plan had me excited enough to follow through. My friend, Olivia had introduced the idea of her visiting me. She planned on taking a train to Long Beach, and from there I’d be able to pick her up at the train station. After the plans were made I went to clarify it with my mother. My mother was extremely wary about the idea. The anticipation of a drivers license turns into a terrible trip for a friend. The significance of the trip was a well taught lesson…

Book: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Mark Haddon, 226 pages Theme: In order for a person to be successful, they need be surrounded by UNDERSTANDING people. To start with, the main character, Christopher, reflects upon first meeting Siobhan eight years ago, “She showed me this picture and I knew that it meant ‘sad,’ which is what I felt when I found the dead dog” (2). Siobhan knows that Chris has a really hard time trying to converse with people because it is hard for him to…

some parents that would simply just leave their child at our station and not even care if they needed help. There were also some parents that would just stand behind their child and would reach over them to get stuff for them and not even get down to help. Another poor example is a parent who did the craft all for themselves and left their kid in the stroller not really paying attention to them. The parent then went to the cookie station and decorated a bunch of cookies for herself, and again,…

her age could not afford to go to school. She would always speak up about this and ask teachers in her school why things couldn’t be different. When she got older, she was offered a job at a radio station called Radio Cacique that was “different than other radio stations, Radio Cacique; it was a station of struggle” (Bell 68). Lelenne made it her life mission to make sure that people were informed of what was happening in Haiti so that the government could not sweep anything under the rug.…

think you would steel? No, think of how many lives can be saved and stores in good shape. For example, studies have shown that most gas station robberies happen, as a result of people having no money to obtain things like cigars. As we know, the drugs in cigars are addicting which causes people to need cigars really, but with no money they rob the gas stations. In brief, if there would be no money this would eliminate robbery. People could get what everything they need. To begin, getting…

Man and the Sea resembles Christ's journey to Calvary through the actions of Santiago, the protagonist. To begin with, Santiago's resistance to defeat symbolizes the first Station of the Cross. The first station is the declaration of Jesus's execution. In accordance with Scripture,…

Are cars really where we want them to be right now? Sure, it’s easy to look in the past and be content with the advancements we have made but where is it that we stand at this moment? If we can look at what the car does not just for ourselves but for our community we can see so much more. When we look at the little things and all of the progress being made we start to realize where we are going with it all. It is safe to assume that in 2050 self-driving cars will be very common and will aid in…

As I walked in the forest I kept a sharp eye out for the figure who had been following me for the past week. Then I saw him; as usual, he was just a shadowy silhouette against the background. I tensed as I knelt to the ground, supposedly to tie my shoelaces. I heard soft footsteps behind me. I whipped around, ready to finally confront the person who had been following me. "Ginny!" I gasped. "What the heck are you doing here?" I asked, desperately looking for the man. "I saw you in the park, and…

Pushing through the hordes of people, I catch a glimpse of my train’s boarding check-ins. Like a captain frantically seeking a lighthouse in a storm, I haul myself across the ocean of human bodies, trying to stay afloat, to avoid being stranded – or trampled – in the dustiest city in the world: Beijing, capital of both China and smog. Luckily, I find my train with plenty of time to spare, and without being turned into a pancake, which is always a plus. The train conductor in his freshly…
