“Wake up!” Ugh, I thought. “Let’s go eat breakfast!” Emunah exclaimed. “Fine” I said as I got up and headed for the kitchen. It was a gray rainy day outside and nothing was stirring. Emunah smiled as she strided in the kitchen after waking up my brother Dean. We were on vacation with my mom and all of my other siblings were at a sleepover with their best friends. “Today is going to be great” Emunah says as we sit down to eat. We all say good morning to Mom but she says nothing back. “Mom?”…
My research will be a reflection on my first alcoholic experience as a teen. As sociologists, we can uncover the decisions, influences, and potential motives behind adolescent and teen alcohol use. We should care about this experience because if can offer data and perspective on how salience can prevent alcohol use. I plan to use personal recollections, primarily, as my source of data during my research. In my research project, my personal experience shows how teen alcohol use is affected by…

Self-destruction Was I told not to touch the tools and machines in my father’s lab? All the time. Was I expected to listen and follow that rule at all times? Of course. Did that stop me from wandering into my father’s lab and touching things? Absolutely not. My father worked in our basement which we called his lab. There was always some sort of noise going on, and in the limited visits I’ve received down there, there were electronics and stray parts everywhere. I never know what he’s working on,…

The play I decided to see for my theatre experience was the called Stupid Fucking Bird. Myself and two other from the class went down to Portland Center Stage theatre in downtown. Walking up to the play there had been a good about people walking in to the theatre as due to the fact that it was just about to start. As we walking into the main door I was actual taken back with how many people I had see inside the box area. The people who where here to see the play where on the older side of life…
shook our house. All I could hear was the creaking and cracking of the walls and floorboards in our kitchen. “Grab anything you can!” my mom yells worriedly. The lights flickered on and off as the storm water slowly but steadily seeped into our small, single story home. I held the flashlight as my mom and dad quickly grabbed food and water out of the cabinet. “Eddy, keep the light on the cabinet!” Yells my dad. The murky water was up past our ankles, submerging our torn sneakers. Dad opened…
Today is going to be just like any other day, I sketched in my morning journal. The morning Baltimore sun shone past the skyscrapers of downtown, and light protruded through the silk blinds that covered half of the picture window in my room. I rose up from my queen bed. The sheets had become untucked and the comforter lay halfway off the edge. My back rested against the mahogany headboard with my head fitting perfectly between two of the wooden posts. I felt my knotted hair falling out of the…
“Je t’aime ma princesse Sierra” As a little girl, I always smiled when reading these words when opening a birthday card or christmas card from my grandmother. The cards were always beautifully decorated with glitter and artwork of princesses in tall castles on big hills. My grandmother loved tales of knights and princesses, and would always read me the French translations of many common stories. She was always so wild and energetic, always wanting to go out and do something. My mother would…
