    It didn 't matter that this type of love I had for you was forbidden and unrequited, that someday others would notice these feelings or that you 'd never accept them, as long as I could continue being with you. Besides, I never could look at you as my big brother. To me, you were the only one who took care of me with all his might. No matter how things difficult got, you didn 't complain. When I think back on the days we spent together, when I finally realized that the love I had for you was the…

    Two more weeks! Two more weeks! Two more weeks! Well, more like two more weeks and a half, but the only thing you do during those last few days are final exams and test, so I ain’t counting those. I’ve been waiting since the day I was paired with Ariana for the end of the semester to be here and time is finally on my side. Nothing could possibly bring me down… “What the…?” “We’re in the closing weeks of the semester, students,” Mrs. Sorun announced, sitting down right beside where I was laying…

    Would you rather almost die and yet come out alive as a changed person with a hopeful beginning, or go through a short trip to maturity with no hope? These two situations display themselves in the two stories titled “€œContents of a Dead Man 's Pocket,” written by Jack Finney, and “€œMarigolds,” written by Eugenia W. Collier. The former tells of Tom Benecke, a salesperson, who risks his life by climbing out of his eleventh-floor apartment to retrieve a sheet of paper important to his desire to…

When you get made fun of, when people point out your weaknesses, that’s just another opportunity for you to rise above” Zac Efron. Growing up, I was not the quiet child. Once high school hit that all changed for me until the day I rose above it and made a change in my life for myself. About two weeks into my first year of high school. I was sitting in my first class…

    was an ungrateful person who didn’t care about no one else but herself. School was not important not at all. I rarely attended to any of my classes it was boring in my opinion. I was lazy never did my homework if I did attend to class it was always late. I was never home I was always with my “friends”. I never listened to my mom I was just a rebelled teenager who didn’t know anything. I always blamed my family problems into being the reason why I was such a horrible person. I guess part of it…

    It was a Beautiful evening in 1995 Sydney, Australia until it all went bad. A sudden crack of thunder raged in the sky and buckets of rain started to pour from the sky. A family in a car, unfortunately, got stuck in that rain on the highway back home. There was a sudden pothole that caused the car to pop up, slip, and roll over on its back while crashing into a wall. There were sirens everywhere while an inferno grew from the car.

    Back in high school, it was very typical for me to be running late to school. I was also considered to be the “lead-foot” of the family when driving so needless to say, I would only ever be a few minutes late to school, if at all. During the spring of my junior year, I was having one of those typical mornings when something caught my eye alongside the road. I immediately began to slow down for what turned out to be nothing. As I was slowing down, a big black SUV came out of nowhere and pulled…

    I’ve heard it said that you can’t have a great story without a great beginning. Apparently, it’s impossible to have a decent story marked by ordinary things. Whoever said that has obviously never lived life, because all the best stories of my life have started with the terrifyingly mundane. This particular one begins with a skateboard. It’s funny isn’t it; how the turning points in our lives can be marked by something so mundane. Turning points should begin with rockets, or with fireworks, or…
