I unintentionally won a presidential election. Poster boards, a strong speech, campaign cards, and a desire to experience something I’d never experienced before fueled my accidental competitiveness. My one reason for participating was because I thought it’d be a fun thing to experience. Not once did intend or even tease myself with the idea of winning. One of the greatest memories I have to date taught me to step out of my comfort zone and try new things because you lose 100% of the chances you…

Next, all of a sudden the principal Mr. Warring was on the intercom saying “ intruder alert, intruder alert!!” Now, at Westville intruder alert means a bad person/ group is outside of the school. The students are bawling their eyes out, with fear of this random intruder. The teacher comes back and states…
MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Dictionary.com defines it as a noninvasive diagnostic procedure employing an MR scanner to obtain detailed sectional images of the internal structure of the body. From my own prior knowledge, Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within the human body. The idea for Magnetic Resonance Imaging was initially conceived by Damadian in 1971 after he recognized…
The building have several unoccupied entrances and signs directing visitors to one main entrance. At the main entrance a security feature that either allows a punch code to disengage the locked doors for entrance into the building or an intercom system allowing the visitor to call their destination to be granted access into the building. My supervisor shared with me that there has been a past history of the building being broken into or finding uninvited guest in the building, which has…
monitored the glitch very closely during re‐entry,” (Sands 8). This method is also displayed in “Mission to Mars,” but is only presented once. When Roy goes out of the spaceship, “Ciara [sees] what happened and immediately shouted to [Roy] over the intercom. ‘Throw something out in front of you! As hard as you can!’ Roy knew when to listen to his wife… The force of his throw generated an equal and opposite force that sent Roy hurtling backwards—right back into the spacecraft,” (Raman 4).…
and is underground; therefore, the system is protected from the external forces that occur above the Earth’s surface, and earthquakes do not seem to be a common worrisome threat to AIS. The communication line offers employees to communicate using intercom systems that are located in both buildings. In addition, AIS has a special website in place for employees in case of a crisis. This site allows employees to not only seek information pertaining to the crisis, but they can also post information…
my emotions, and it still does today. I wanted to look out and see more, but I couldn’t because of the inertia pulling me to my seat. I chose the window seat so that I could see the clouds as we passed through them. The captain came on over the intercom and told us we would hit some slight turbulence as the plane began to shake violently. When we started descending, I felt a sense of weightlessness, which turned my stomach upside down. Learning guitar was a long process at first, but by…
into the path of the passenger plane. Just like that a large flock of Canadian Geese sent the plane on a downwards path. Luckily, Chesley was able to think fast and safely land the massive plane in the Hudson River just before speaking over the intercom “Brace for impact”. Though the plane sunk, all 155 passengers survived, most of them completely uninjured, and those who were injured, had very minor injuries. Chesley was very soon recognized as a hero and was even sent a phone call by the…

The only sounds radiating from the nearly empty gym court were the dribbling of a ball against the hard wooden floor and the occasional swish or clank of the hoop. Sweat drenched my red shirt, staining it a dark shade of maroon, and the shoelaces of my Nike Air Jordans were becoming undone, but I barely noticed as I continued to practice that Kyrie Irving move I saw during the 2013 All-Star Rookie-Sophomore game: cross between the legs, behind the back, in and out, cross left, step back, and…
