Another challenge that I noticed was that the stool needed to be tig welded.I have never tig welded before so I had to talk to the teacher about teaching me…

The relentless vibration of metal took away all sense of touch minutes ago. Even my headphones blaring a Kanye West playlist fail to drone out the echoing sounds of machinery. Most people don't get to see the inner workings of a body shop. Glimpses of…

My principal, squatty and stout, with salt and pepper hair, and dark ink colored bags under his eyes stood in the doorway and raised his index and thumb at me in the same fashion small children make guns out of their hands and…

Albert, a twelve year old, overweight, unfriendly boy was walking home thinking to himself what he was going to do with his three-day school break. (27) (Albert walks by a tall thin salesman(1). It starts to drizzle.) ”You look like you have a cat, want a hat for it?” the salesman asked in a New York accent. (The salesman points to a long white satin top hat.) “No thank you,” Albert answered. “It is free,” the salesman…

Many ancient civilizations depicted dragons in their own special way, but the physical appearance of these beasts remained quite similar. Since this fact talks about a dragon’s external features, it is very relevant. These mythical creatures have some of the most magnificent and intricate characteristics of all reptiles. Looking like one of Picasso’s paintings, the head of a dragon is truly extravagant. The next part of its layout is the beautiful body and wings. Finally, being as flexible…

Squamous Cell Carcinoma Squamous cell carcinoma is a common form of skin cancer. It begins in the squamous cells in the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). It occurs most often in parts of the body that are frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, lips, neck, arms, legs, and hands.
