I Decided

It was finally Friday. I love school and everything, but I was looking forward to this weekend. I had plans to play with the girl who lives in the apartment below me today. Together we had decided to build a Treehouse in the backyard. When I really think about it, we might only be able to build a landing of some sort because we only have one long piece of plywood. However we were both determined to make something out of our single supply. I went through my apartment getting ready for my big…

I knew immediately that I wanted to give up social media for three days from the moment I read the details of the assignment. It was an easy choice for me because, it is something that I engage in every day. I am on my apps and my cell phone constantly. Perhaps even more than the average person should be. Checking my cell phone as I awake is a part of my morning ritual, and it happens subconsciously. I wake up in the morning and grab my phone to check Instagram and Facebook like it is the…

Florida. I was there expending my vacation with my church group. After we went to a few of Disney’s parks we, went to eat in Golden Coral buffet when the beautiful day come to be a day with a bad experience. I was fourteen years old when I wanted to go to Disney, but for doing that I had to put in my effort, and I had to work in summer for one month. While all my friends enjoyed and play around, I was working so hard to earn money to pay for my trip to Orlando, Florida. I felt sad when I saw my…

I was so depressed and drank all the time. I did not know what to do with myself. Medication was not working and the kids were on vacation with their dad and his new pole slinging bi$%^. I was full of bitterness, anger, resentment, depression and alcohol. I decided that cutting my wrist would be the smart thing to do. Not so much. That stupidity landed me in Green Oaks. Oh my, what have I done now?! I was there around twenty-four hours and they realized I did not belong there either.…

Strength training I haven't exactly had sand kicked in my face, but I have experienced the independent woman's equivalent: having to ask my boyfriend to replace the five-gallon water jugs on my water dispenser. Water weight For years, we had a perfect system. I wanted a drink; he did the heavy lifting. But when things got shaky between us, I was forced to take responsibility for my bottled water habit. First, I tried three-gallon jugs, but they were still too heavy for me to carry up to my…

One day my biggest fear came true, I lost control of my mind and my life changed for the worst. I had become the monster I feared so much. This is my story. It was a typical day in Canton Michigan, a nice sunny day with a calm breeze, the birds were out chirping, just simply a great day. I flew through my 6 classes at school and I was on my way home. I had taken a…

Identity Paper One of my very first things that I really remember is of my dad teaching me the planets through a story he created. Where they were in the solar system, what they looked like, and what hobbies they loved or foods they ate. We always spent so much time together. Then the day came that I was told, "You 're going to be a big sister! Aren 't you excited?" was so enthused to have a baby brother. I planned it all out. He was going to play 'Barbie 's ' with me and help me pick out…

Emery I looked around the dank tunnel before stepping aboard the train. Those around me stared out the window with blank, unfeeling expressions. Their eyes reminded me of the sky above us- gray and hopeless, afraid of the upcoming downpour. Coming home was never fun. After a successful 7 hour day at the CDC, I had washed off all potential diseases and taken a stuffy, slightly yellow tinted can with wheels and sticky seats. The trains had been in use for years, even after the bombings and the…

This basketball game is where it all started, I thought I met the guy of my dreams. I was a senior cheerleader for the Indians and my mother was working in the concession stand that night so my friend Kira and I decided to go get some food. We got up from the far right corner of the gym and started walking toward the left corner to the door on which the concession stand is at. As we walked through the double doors I looked up and seen a guy name Trey. I looked him up…

should do for our skit. Ben and I butt heads a few times, because he really wanted to do his specific conflict. Everyone looked towards me for the final verdict, and I respectfully said no, we could not do his conflict. That was the only major altercation that happened within the group. There was a power dynamic of girls versus the one boy in the group. The girls had a tendency to agree with each other. Ben did not say much but when he did, we did not attack him. I feel like we all took his…
