Late-2000s recession

Hearing Rod Sterling’s comments were extremely helpful. After watching my first episode of the Twilight Zone with my Dad a few years ago, I always wondered where the ideas for The Twilight Zone spawned. Thus, when the students asked the question, “Where do ideas come from?” I was delighted to hear Sterling’s answer. His answer was quite profound. Sterling simply answered that ideas come from “one’s experiences.” I thoroughly enjoyed how he showed that story is personal and comes from the…

you, I’m doing great how are you. How is Ms. Carr, is she here today. I asked excitedly. I enjoyed seeing his wife when I came to the door. She is gorgeous and always keeps her self-flawless at all times. Yes, she is here, but she went out for a late lunch, she should be back before you leave. So Ms. Lovely what brings you’re here today. Mr. Carr asked. I explained to him of the dizzy spells and the Nassau and vomiting that sometimes follows it. It’s strange because it doesn’t happen all of…

Lizzy Hernandez “Flight 93 boarding soon,” I hear over the speaker. “Great my moms calling again, she 's trying to stop me but it isn 't going to work,” I said to myself. “ Hello. Yes mother. Yeah I know. Okay mom, look I really don 't care what you think. I’m an adult now. Yes yes i’ll be fine, okay whatever mom. Good bye.” I 'm 18 years old she can 't keep telling me what to do if I want to go see my friends I sure can. It 's her fault anyway for making us move. Whatever it doesn 't…

SStepping out of the carriage, both men stretched, hoping that particular action would alleviate their aching muscles, a direct result from their jarring ride, and said their goodnights, although almost daylight, to go their separate ways. Entering the manor, Nightburn hurried to the north wing library, opened the door, and went directly to the bookcase, easily finding the book and opening it to the page, read the passage aloud, “The power of Vilgoth is necessary. Destroy all those who would…

Trauma vs Valuable Life Experience I remember a time when I had to listen to my mom beg for my life and her own. It started one day in the early afternoon around 1 o’clock. My bedroom frigid and relaxing from the air conditioning, as I laid there listening to the movie, “Mac and Devin go to High school.” All while texting my friend Kayla about what time I was going to go over to her house that weekend. “This might be the start of a really great week, it’s going so well and I can’t wait to see…

Breathless It’s the beginning of fall here in the Big Apple, a time of year that brings out both senses of calm and crazy. The apartment I share with my boyfriend is dark and cool, the only light is from the moon as it seeps its feathery blue rays through the curtains. My body is cocooned in the warm covers all alone as I try and keep myself warm without the usual body heat my boyfriend provides. I toss and turn before finally settling on a position and letting sleep envelope me. I don’t know…

In the house? Daniel, have you not learnt your lesson? This thing will kill you! Please. Life is busy killing me, anyway. - That 's no excuse to carry on... - Hey! You have a job and you have money. Girls are offering themselves to you at the shebeen. All we have... - are our problems. - Everyone has problems! You can solve yours. I can only forget mine. That 's a pathetic excuse! Why didn 't you tell us you were living with a pastor? I 'm not preaching! You are not our mother so you…

Do it now and Talk Later! We are given 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, and 12 months in a year to get things done. Let’s break that down into minutes! That equals 1,440 minutes per day, 10,080 minutes per week, and 525,600 minutes per calendar year to do what we need to do. When it comes to the term “Do it now and Talk Later”, it simply means just what it says! What are you doing with your time? Are you getting things done? Many of us say that we wish that we had more time, but what…

Most of my life I have allowed others to define me. Not only did I let others assume who I am, I even would (still do) let others make decisions for me. The summer of my junior year I let a lot of people assume things about me. It was an important summer of finding myself in terms of my sexuality. That summer was very hectic because of how I grew up, my family 's values, and how I felt about all of it. It lead to a regretful decision. Before talking about myself, my parents are both Seventh-Day…

I’ve done it time and time again. As the dark void overtakes me, the anticipation for adventure grasps my soul and sets my heart ablaze. It’s the same every time. I open my eyes to nothingness, then like a wave breaks upon the sturdy ocean rocks, my psyche is bombarded by the overwhelming presence of wondrous displays: an aurora of light, mingling with the soothing sounds of nature and church bells, and the sweet aroma of cherry blossoms and rain. Nothing can compare. By now, you may be…
