I Threw Up

better and I believed he, like myself, was adjusting. It was now mid-September, and we were gearing up for our trip to Europe. I had discussed the trip with Dr. Rossi, and she gave me her blessing to go. We were flying out on October 10th. We would be visiting England, Italy and France. I still had morning sickness, but it didn’t last for long. I felt sick when I got up and within an hour or less I felt better. The weekend was here and David and Charlie had plans to get the pool ready for winter. It needed to be completed before we left for Europe. I got up that morning and felt horrible. I threw up and had an awful discomfort in my stomach and pain in my side. I went downstairs, and Charlie looked at me. “Anna, are you okay?” “I don’t feel so hot today. I just threw up, and I feel overall like crap." “Do you want your juice and toast?” “Not really, but I should have something.” “Well, go sit down and I’ll get it for you.” David got my juice while Charlie made me some toast. I couldn’t eat a lot in the morning but needed to get something in me. Most mornings, that was all I had. I drank a little juice and took two bites of my toast, before pushing the plate away. “Anna…

It hurt. I remember that it hurt. I would wake up and lay in my bed as I thought how my phone wouldn’t be answered, my stomach wouldn’t be fed, my hair wouldn’t be washed, my life wouldn’t be lived. They always said, “Be grateful”, but how could I be great if I knew I wasn’t. I took it as a literal term, to be grateful. Whenever someone told me that, all I could see was my body thinned and toned, my face pure and markless, my smile glorious and grand, my life happy and fulfilling. I knew they…

Character Education in Up Disney-Pixar is the undisputed king of the animation film industry. Each of their productions is synonymous with “Top Grossing” and commandes raving fanatics and 5 stars ratings. “Up” is no exception. As the title suggests, “Up” is a movie that with each viewing seems only to bring the enjoyment and fantastical pleasure gleaned from this movie up. One of innumerous Disney films that are regarded as instant classics, Up was created in 2009 and to the surprise of no…

"Its better to walk alone, than with a crowd going in the wrong direction." Herman Siu. Why would anyone in their right mind have school start at 7 in the morning, like I need my beauty sleep... God knows I need it. But today is the first day of senior year, and I woke up 30 minuets late. Luckily I showered last night but my blond hair made its self in to a actual living birds nest on my head, That I brushed through and threw in a very messy pony tail. My outfit consisted of my brightly…

.Beep,” a loud screech rang through me ears. I looked everywhere, from my right to my left, turning and shaking my head in confusion. “Where am I?” I thought. Suddenly, my brain processed my surroundings, and my eyes focused on the view ahead of me. As soon as my head was in the right mind, I saw Fantasia in front of me, Hilary besides me, the huge fish net looking net set up high held, with two poles, in front of me, and my coaches along with the other teammates were waiting on the sidelines.…

Mrs. Whitelaw’s CEP class is the class I looked forward to observing in the most. She and her two TA’s made me feel the most welcomed by greeting me every time I observed in their classrooms (none of the others made me feel unwelcomed). I believe that the welcoming also came from the classroom environment that Mrs. Whitelaw provided her students. The class was covered in the students’ school work and achievements. The classroom also provided escapes to any of the students that needed alone time…

game, as I’m sitting in class thinking how important this game is to the whole school. Even though I was not going to play because I’m the backup goalkeeper I was still excited to be part of the team. This is my senior year and I hoped to have memorable moments. “Let’s all support the boys and girls soccer team in today’s game versus Leuzinger at 7 o clock. Go Cougars!” The principle, Mr. Newell seem extremely excited over the announcements for tonight’s game against our archrivals Leuzinger…

While I was running I looked behind to see Lily, my best friend, a few feet behind me. She was a exceptional runner, just not a great sprinter. The second I turned back around, I heard a laugh and a fall to the ground. It sounded as if boxer threw his opponent against the ring. I spun around just in time to find Sarah sprinting past Lily, who was now on the ground with a huge bruise on her left knee. I knew I should’ve stopped, but I crossed the finish line instead. The instant my feet…

those people?” I wheezed out. I hated the cold, this was a fine punishment I suppose. “Of course you’ve heard. Who hasn’t? I’m just the crazy witch that’s killed hundreds of people. No need to answer my questions. I see how it is.” “You didn’t just ‘kill all those people, Freya.’ You are responsible for a massacre. The Rushelli Massacre. Hundreds of people died. Innocents. The guilty. You killed them like they were all guilty of the same crime. That is unacceptable. You need to pay for what…

Body Next, I will be discussing the three types of power along with the definition of power, from the communication concepts found in Superbad. “What is the definition of power?” Power Definition: (Merriam-Webster Dictionary) the ability or right to control people or things; political control of a country or area; a person or organization that has a lot of control and influence over other people or organizations. According to the textbook, “Understanding human communication”, power is group…
