Never have I ever

basketball coaches have used, they always taught us “You learn a heck of alot more from the opposing team than I could ever teach you.” I believe that to be one hundred percent accurate. If someone who’s job is to beat you can learn from you, you will lose every time. They have their knowledge plus your new perspective and insight to help them gain an edge on you in every possible way. Firstly, opposition is indispensable is a keystone of his quote. You can not beat anyone if you never…

(Lowry, 52-53).” This shows the faith and trust that Jonas and the people around him, have in the elders to choose their jobs correctly. They also trust that they will choose their jobs to tear specific liking. Secondly, in the community no one will ever starve or be starving. In the book it says; “He was not starving it was pointed out... no one in the community was starving, had ever been starving or will ever be starving…

on end, she is the greatest friend that anyone could really have. She’s been with me through thick and thin and if we argue, we get over it like nothing had happened. Her stubborn attitude and how she goes about daily life is what makes her and I complete opposites. Though all of these are true, they are reasons why she is both my best friend and the one person who has impacted me the most in my life. Her name, is Hannah Marie Gentry. Ever since the first grade when she protected me from…

As a child, I had a love for many movies, but I had a special love for a specific movie, The Breakfast Club. My Father says that I would sit in front of the Television and watch this movie for hours at a time. Some would believe that it is odd for a child, my age, to love the movies that I do. Ever since I can remember, I have had a love for movies from the 80’s. My favorites included: Sixteen Candles (1984), The Goonies (1985), Beetlejuice (1988), and especially Dirty Dancing (1987). Actually,…

When I was fifteen my mom had decided to uproot our lives in Michigan to move to a small town in Florida. It started when my mom fell in love with a business partner, Keith, whom she had talked on the phone with for months. She then had flown to Florida to meet with him several times for over the course of a year. When they decided that they could no longer live apart, the decision was made that my mom and I would move from everything we had ever known, to move to a small Florida town. At the…

before us? This is how I feel as Troy has been smothered by the Greeks. That Trojan Horse, I do not know why everyone thought that it was a peace offering! How could anyone trust those Greeks? Now because of them Troy is smothering to the ground. My poor Paris. How could he get out of this alive? Achilles already killed Hector and now Paris is next! Troy is falling and nobody can help us!” This is the story of the Trojan Horse and the Trojan downfall. War was amongst us as I stood atop alongside…

It wasn’t until I was entering my freshman year of high school that a challenge became almost immediately life changing. Feeling as though I was climbing a mountain; not knowing if I was going to successfully make it to the top. Feeling like I was crossing a road; unknowing of what was going to be on the other side. Never had anything been so scary or so difficult to execute. I walked in to the school. Frightened and hesitant. There were hundreds of people, standing around and talking like a…

yourself. What I have learned about myself is that I am very hardworking and I have a motor that does not stop. I may not seem like a hard working person in the classroom but when it comes to my passions it is almost impossible to make me give up. The three top experiences that made me realize that “ never give up” is my saying, lies within my car accident that hospitalized me, a injury that slowed down my progress for football, and living with a disability that is…

wants to tell his story about the Holocaust. I can relate to this quote because I am very much into politics. I know many others do not like to talk about politics, but I am really passionate about it. I like to use my voice on social media about issues. If you do not ever rant and talk about something or try to make a change then nothing will ever happen.Eliezer wanted to tell this story especially because the substance of the story is historical. I like to write emails and letters to my…

Have you ever wished that you just hadn’t done something you did? I definitely had. Especially one time when I got into a ton of trouble afterwards. It happened in third grade, during a week that would otherwise have been uneventful. After this experience, I knew never to purposely do things I would regret ever again. Back then, we had a recess period from 10:30 to 10:45 every day. After recess was over on this particular day, Jackie, a kid that I teased a lot, was standing in line next to me…
