There are three things that all gentlemen fear. A night without a moon. A storm in the sea. And the anger of a gentlemen. But there is a new thing that should be added to that list, the death, or almost death, of a loved one and someone you hold close to your heart. There was one point where I experienced one of my friends getting stabbed. He almost died, but another friend helped him. Like the play ‘Romeo and Juliet’ took a course over three days.

Saying goodbye to the clan leader, Dondorian was one of the hardest things Moira had ever done. Her large amber eyes glistened with the strain of the moment, for it had the feel of forever to it. He was a savior, a father, a friend. It was he that set her free as a young slave. And he who invited her into his wagon as a child of his own. It was he that wrapped her in a hug that communicated more to her than he would ever voice. "We adapt, survive, maintain, circle through, but we come home.…

football teams and basketball teams brings in a lot of money to the universities. Big game like NCAA have millions of watches it is broadcast all over the world, and the tickets are very expense. Although, college athletes get scholarship, but what about pocket money that’s need for other expenses. Most college athletes cannot get jobs because practice take up most their time after class and games take up most of their weekends. I think college athletes should get paid at least minimum wage base…

My junior year of high school was in my mind full of injustices, some petty, some not at all. There were a few standouts, one regarding some of my best friends betraying me completely and lying to get themselves out of any trouble with the police. Another, being forced by my english teacher on the fourth day of school to rewrite an essay that was in my mind amazing just because she didn’t like my style.
