A Perfect Summer at the Beach How lovely it is to begin the day being woken up by the rays of the sun peering through your window! This is how my day began one perfect summer. Even the birds seemed to have come together outside my bedroom window to offer me a melody. How divine! As my fiancé and our girls lay sound asleep, I began to prepare our breakfast. The menu was bacon, eggs, pancakes, and fresh squeeze orange juice for the girls. As the bacon sizzled in the pan, the aroma of black coffee…

Celebrity fascination is not healthy for adolescent girls. Girls around the ages of 11 to 17 are most influenced to get that ‘perfect’ look that they see on the cover of their favorite magazine.

this gun club. After we were done eating and opening presents he told me “get your shotgun, we’re gonna see how good you are.” When I got my shotgun we went up on to the wobble stand he told me to say pull when i’m ready. I loaded a shell, took my safety off and mounted the gun and was ready to shoot. I yelled “pull” and out came a bright orange clay bird what seemed to be traveling faster than the speed of light. I pointed the shotgun at the clay bird and pulled the trigger and the bird…

Waking up with a headache from hell, I collect my composure and grab my belongings in a hurry. I have a flight to catch and I can’t be late to the airport. Another all-star weekend in the books. This year? A low level professional basketball ball player. I know, not that impressive. My plan was to meet a superstar, but somehow ended up in this bed. He is still sleeping like a baby. Some women in my shoes would go through his belongings and look for their own payout but that’s not me. I do give…

It was a morning like any other, I woke up and looked out my window to see the old rusted piece of metal some like to call the Golden Gate Bridge. I always woke up at 6:30 sharp to make sure I had enough time to read over the papers that were due in a few short hours. As I carry along with my morning routine I realize today was partner day in biology, the day I dreaded most in the semester, mostly because my partner usually makes me do most of the work and the parts they do,they mess it up.…

After school, I entered the living room startled to see my mother seated on the couch reading an article on her tablet. She glanced up at me, turning up her nose. "What are you doing home so early, I thought you were working today?" I sighed. “I decided to take the day off to spend some time with you before you graduate” She said. As I stood there her eyes narrowed. “What were you thinking stepping outside like that?" Her red painted lips pursed as she eyed me. "Would you rather I went…

Exposure to Reality As Jennifer Elisabeth said in her book Born Ready, “I feel a resurgence of my 6-year-old self…that little warrior, goddess of a girl reminding me of who I was when I was little, before the world got its hands on me.”In other words, society has corrupted our way of living in our culture. Our own personal culture that we are familiar with and a part of can shape how we view ourselves very deeply. It gives us a defining sense of self and can dictate what our values become.…

Rhiannon It started off as a normal day. I was just another teenage boy named Justin. Obviously hygiene was not an issue to Justin, but it is for me, so I started my day off with a shower. I could tell it was not going to be a good day and I just hoped to get through it and be in a better person's body tomorrow. I still did not know if I liked being a girl or boy better. All I knew was right now I do not want to be Justin. The best part about Justin was that he had an amazing girlfriend. She…
