If I Did It

Callie” I slid off and Caramel jumped a little bit. Caramel Is a big scaredy cat, She hates new things and things she has seen at the barn one hundred times before. I walked caramel back to her stall to un-tack her. She goes straight to her food bowl like always. I took off her bridal and I heard the clinking of metal on her teeth as I took the bit out of her mouth. It felt slimy but I did not hold on to it for long. I slid her halter on to her head and walked her to the cross ties so I could…

a child, I grew up playing soccer. On my father’s side of the family my uncles as well as my father were fanatics of the sport. Both my father and my uncles raised my siblings, cousins, and myself to play and love the sport. Soccer was an intense sport in my family; we would get together and have scrimmages usually once or twice a week against ourselves or other teams. I also had soccer practice on weekday evenings and games Saturday mornings. Soccer helped me get fit as a child, before I began…

people more than I expected. The audience was dressed regular since there was not a dress code. On stage were the bands seats with the instruments they would play beside them. The background was a bluish theme color setting the mood of the music. The composition I like best was the second piece they played. I couldn’t really hear the name because they had a strong accent but I did hear him say “The Blue Bell’ known as the flock eared mule. This piece seemed more classical and I could…

What is shame? When I think of it, it is like a wound, a complex problem that I can never solve. Nobody at home or school will teach you how to move through shame. Just like Dick Gregory, I struggle a lot with shame. The main source of the shame must be my parents' parenting style. I am the eldest granddaughter in the family so everyone has high expectation for me. My parents always urge and criticize me if I did not perform perfectly or in the way they want. When I was in primary school, my…

innocent or would be given a punishment. This depended on the witch’s testimony that would be given to the judges. Often these testimonies that are given by these witches are usually admitting to witchcraft and shortly after accuse someone else. Some did not admit to witchcraft…

positive aspects of the case competition? What did you do well? What did your team do well? What did the judges/organizers do well? (Roughly 200 words) I had an extremely good experience competing in this case competition. There were many things that stood out to me during this experience. The first was the judges. I thought the judges did an excellent job with giving feedback to each and every student that presented and gave honest critics of their performance. I even had the opportunity to get…

I believe the strengths of my lesson were keeping the students on task and including all students in the lesson. I kept students on task by explaining my expectations and showing enthusiasm before the lesson. This made the students aware of their behaviors and became engaged because they sensed my enthusiasm. I grabbed their attention by doing a small version of Simon Says. For example, I said, “If you are ready to learn, touch the sky.” I did 3 of these at a time and reminded the students to…

I said I want a sandwich and some juice. Walking to the frigeraterdered I drop my phone once again and thinking my phone was safe.…

I don’t think that Lizzie Borden murdered her father and stepmother because she’s not brave enough and her family was really good people. The family attended the Congregationalist church an institution in which Lizzie was particularly involved. Lizzies father Andrew and his wife had a normal life and they went to work every day and came back home did the same thing every morning. The family seems like they are good and are innocent people Lizzie didn’t do it cause she would be scared. Abby and…
