I Do

“Well, I used to be 5’10’’ and a half. Now I’m probably just 5’10’,” she says with a laugh. She has short brown hair threaded with gray that she pins out of her face with two brown barrettes. Upon her nose sits a pair of glasses, though if it’s sunny outside…

As the clock ticks, I wait anxiously for it to hit 3:23 P.M. All I could think about was football practice. My first game is tomorrow and I am overwhelmed with excitement. Forgetting to pay attention in class the teacher calls on me saying “Sabin, what does the m stand for in y=mx+b?”, me being clueless I look at my notes. Being lucky, another student answers saying “m is slope”. As the bell rings, the teacher comes up to me saying “Next time pay attention instead of looking at the clock, time…

Pleasant High? How do you like school after the incident? Which did you like more? Thomas Bishop: I loved school. I loved the way things were before the school shooting at Pleasant High. Ever since Dr. Henry Willner was hired as the grief and crisis counselor, things took a turn for the worse. Everything got stricter. I hated school after the shooting. Dr. Willner implemented new rules at the school that is just plain absurd. If I had to choose between the old and the new school, I would…

Requiring national service to be completed by law would be overwhelming disaster for our society regardless of how long it would be for. This is because helping people should stem from a deep desire within one 's own heart and not from needing to do so because of a lawbook. It also creates a lapse in somebody 's year where they might otherwise be attending school or working full-time to provide for a family. Finally, because there isn 't an overwhelming need for so many volunteers in the first…

in a fight and verbally abusing another officer. As Phillips (1992), notes, there are not many leadership courses that would advise a leader to avoid a confrontation with another, instead, they teach the “can do” viewpoint. In Lincoln’s story, he describes how a man with bigger things to do, does not have time to quarrel, not to mention the consequences that come from the fight. It is simply better to avoid the fight from the beginning. Lincoln uses the dog as a metaphor for the fight.…

From the day we are born, until the day we die, we are taught and held responsible for being responsible of ourselves. We must consider this unwritten, but ever so powerful code that applies to our daily lives and interactions at all times. We need to do what is right and take action even when no one is looking. As students, parents, children, teachers, friends, and family, we all must maintain a personal responsibility of ourselves as we serve the community we are part of. Rules and laws are…

practicing for this night for about two months. I could already feel the sweat drip down my face. My mask of makeup was going to melt off by the end of the night. However, that’s how these shows usually go, bright red lipstick gets smeared all over your face by 2am when we leave Wehrenberg Theater. I was a new addition to the crew and in charge of bringing the actors props to act out different scenes from the 1975 cult classic film Rocky Horror Picture Show. I had seen the movie plenty of times…

Limbo I am an error in the source code of the universe. I shouldn’t exist, because I was never born. That was my fault. That’s why I’m still anywhere at all. Remove me from the equation, and I’m still part of it. Keep me, and I’m not. Paradox. So far as I can tell, the universe has decided that I’m someone else’s problem. The problem with that is that, it being the universe, by definition there’s no one else. So I’m stuck in some sort of temporal-spatial limbo. That’s my theory, anyway. There…

I was very anxious and motivated to start VWII. After VWI, I was on a roll! Everything was going great with the open mic and I was slowly but surely getting comfortable with Dragon. I was excited to get started with the voice mask. Initially, I was under the impression that getting used to and adapting to the mask would be easy. I set everything up with ease and one of the 1st things that I dictated was my Week 1 discussion post. The mask was working well with Dragon and seemed to be…

hound from hell already, so I don't think a giant eagle would faze me. By the way, where is that hound from hell? I have not heard from him ever since we left Rydia. Speaking of a hound from hell. Where the heck is Marchosias? At this point he'd be telling me "what a ridiculous farce, your gamble will only work so many times, and it stops when you need it the most." Or something along those lines. As I was thinking to myself. The king approaches me, looking straight at me. I look at the eagle…
