I'll Stick Around

Drowning in Debt Ranked 13th in the world for external debt, Australia continues to drown. This debt growing as each year passes. The reason for this crisis is Australian government’s spending outweighing its revenue received through taxes. Our revenue and spending are becoming great issues as they both persist to exponentially increase every year. Taxes are one of the most significant aspects keeping our country running. In particular, corporate taxes being one of the main forms of revenue.…

class I’ll see what words students think of when they hear the term magnets. I’ll then explain that every magnet has a north and south pole. Finally I’ll demonstrate what happens when like poles are brought together and what happens when opposite poles are. I will continuously go around the room from group to group to make sure the students are on task and understand what their objectives are. The last ten minutes of class each student will answer 5 simple questions on an exit slip. I’ll start…

Ralph picked up his stick and prepared for battle. But what could they do? It would take them a week to break a path through the thicket; and anyone who wormed his way in would be helpless. He felt the point of his spear with his thumb and grinned without amusement. Whoever tried that would be stuck, squealing like a pig. They were going away, back to the tower rock. He could hear feet moving and then someone sniggered. There came again that high, bird-like cry that swept along the line. So…

beam, and two parallel bars, and a vault table. All I need is my leotard, grips, and ambition to score big. I’ll dance across the floor, leaping, turning, flipping through my routine, knowing all eyes are on me as I own the floor. Sprinting down the runway, jumping off the springboard, flying through the air, and flashing a smile at the judge, I stick my landing on vault. I swing around the bar, jumping from high bar to low bar, covering myself with chalk and pride. The beam welcomes me, but…

field next to 11 of my teammates and 12 opponents. We were losing the lacrosse game by two points and we had four minutes left in the game. I instinctively made a choice that looked bad on the outside but ultimately… was still a bad choice. It was around 8 o’clock on a thursday night, our girls lacrosse team was playing a normal regulation game against the dreaded high school team from Hempfield. Hempfield wasn’t even that great of a team, they just have a set of sisters that “run the show.”…

The bright orange flashes briefly between the forest of legs and sticks. I bend my knees. I know the shot is coming soon. Clack. There. My brain registers in a split second the direction the ball is coming from and I pull back my foot, making contact with the bottom of the sphere, sending it flying through the air. The adrenaline rush dies down as the ball is dribbled down the field by my teammate. I let out a thankful breath. I’ve been looking forward to this all summer: the first game of the…

The Outsiders Perspectives The dictionary definition for “stick up for” is to “support or defend a person”. In the book, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, it seems that friends are always supporting and/or defending each other in all ways, taking blame, lying and being extremely supportive. I completely agree that friends should always stick up for each other. Dally from the story has this perspective too, as he helped Johnny and Ponyboy get out of the town after killing the Social. Johnny also…
