First Plane Trip The first time I went on an airplane, was when I was twelve. My family was traveling to California for the first time, to visit the family on my father’s side. I remember being nervous, but, extremely excited at the same time. It was a long trip, about six hours give or take, and my family was not prepared one bit. Yet with all the chaotic things that happened, it was still a memorable and fun experience. Of course for the first time on a plane, you’re going to think the…
when everyone started to laugh at me. With my face all red like a tomato, I just laid my head down in shame just hoping this day well just come to an end soon. Afterwards they stopped laughing, I lifted me head up from the shame but I kept hearing laughter and it was coming the group of guys in my group. I didn’t really think non of…
like, well my rescue came early. As they were coming closer Thomas was starting to think that they were not the rescue because the rescue is a different color. He then realized they were Gangsta trains and he was sweating a lot and getting really nervous. As the Gangsters were getting closer, he was thinking about what to do or what to say. The Gangsta trains got to him and were circling him and holding bats, pipes, knives and guns.The gangsta trains started to threaten him. Thomas is scared at…
In the front of a ginormous school, just staring up at the school hanging over me. As I had enough courage to walk inside I pushed through the crowed of people. There was senior party banner that was hanging on inside the school. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go necessarily because I was a kind of a popular girl. I don't want to mess up my reputation and ruin my education in school, I was a A+ student. There could be fights that could break out of hand. Troublemakers at the school, that are…
It is fascinating to find that things that apparently seem to be so different can be developed in such way that they sustain the same point of view. If we think about the career of a very tall, basketball player; people attraction to voyeurism; the career of a country music singer who beats records in discs’ selling, and the use of laugh tracks in comedy sitcom, it looks like there can not be a strong connection between them. Now if we consider that the public is looking for this basketball…
15 days until deployment -------- "I have two weeks, a day, and approximately 8 hours with Lauren. To put it into simpler terms that 's 15 days or 21,600 minutes. Probably 21,598 minutes after figuring out the conversion of days into minutes. Lately, I 've been reading a lot of books on military families and children, which I think was to make me feel better but has seemed to do the complete opposite. As if telling me to prepare for death and to stay positive during it would help me feel better…
I have always tried to live my life without regrets, so this assignment was kind of hard for me. I had to sit down and really think about what it is that I would want to tell my younger self. Then it finally hit me, one thing I would tell myself as a child is to take more opportunities that come my way. Not saying that we should take every opportunity, but to enjoy life a little more when we are given the chance to. I would explain to my younger self that we may not realize it now but we have…
The way your life follows is just how you make it. Live everyday like it is your last. “Who are you to judge the life I live? I am not perfect and I don’t have to be! Before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean.” Bob Marley, a singer, songwriter, and musician, is famously known for his amazing quotes, especially this one. His quote is stating be the person that you want to be. Do not ever live with regrets. Live your life with only yourself in mind. The most…
Who am I? I am a high yellow mixed boy, wouldn’t say I’m rich and wouldn’t say I’m poor. I am educated and unhealthy, and one with a lot of resentment. I’ve always been taught “Stop talking white, and you sound stupid talking like that.” I’ve always been the type of person to ask a lot of questions so my response would be simply what does it mean to talk white? Society has taken the word “proper” as a way to attract white culture. What does it mean to be proper? (Proper means to represent…
people hurting themselves for laughter, we can laugh due to almost anything. Lately in pop culture, there has been a lot of backlash towards the source of laughter. In movies, we see girls laughing when they make fun of another person, we see boys laughing when they pull a harmful prank on another guy, and people are generally laughing at other (s) misfortunes. Laughter as an entire concept has been blamed on this, but it seems more plausible that the source of laughter comes from the person…
