All the black belts had to go to 20 workshops in the course of two months. The workshops started at five in the morning and went on until 12, and all we did was push…

Imagine a high school athlete, head spinning from tests and quizzes and homework grades, mind swimming with due dates and deadlines, trying not only to balance the hardships high school offers but also juggling his passion of football. Imagine after all his hard work, one of his grades slipped and now he is forced to cut his sport. Do students really deserve this kind of pressure? That is why the no pass, no play rule is a ridiculous rule to follow, since not only does this add extra stress to…

The blue eyed man reached out his hand for me to shake while he walked over to my table, but I didn't bother to. He then sat down across from me.…

I have smelled the things they’re cooking, and they’re toxic, I’ve a hunch. And the salads are so soggy that you’ll never hear a crunch. I bring my lunch to school! I can’t stand the food they serve me! I can’t stand the food they serve me! I can’t stand the food they serve me! I bring my lunch to school! They torture nose and taste buds with both hamburger and spuds. There are meatballs in a gravy that’s like iridescent mud. Mashed potatoes hit both tray and stomach with a…

Then three years later my brother and then four years later my sister. When I was young my life was filled with action figures, trucks, sports and books, which I spent most of my time playing with. I grew up playing sports, swimming and taking karate classes. My parents spent hours waiting on the side line of a soccer game each weekend for me to play. From as long as I can remember I have liked boyish things, such as trucks, sports and hunting. I have found that I relate most easily to…

There has never been a time when I did not attend church. The first memory that I have of myself being in church was at four years of age. I was standing at the edge of the pew watching people walk by; not sure if it was the choir because I do not remember hearing music. I remember being in Sunday school at this age. I shared crayon with a boy, aged five who is now my husband. I remember playing Tag and Catch a Girl – Kiss a Girl with him in the church basement, walking to the candy store,…
