Seti I

is this all I thought I’d have to do. Literally, all I must do is ride around, bounce from human to human, and make their life miserable, it’s great! Sure, many people hate me, but it’s just all part of the job. The job of being the disease of Typhus has its perks and downfalls, but mostly just perks. All my recruits and myself ride around in lice and fleas making people’s lives miserable. I myself don’t always infect people, usually I just send some of my troops in to do the job while I sit…

Simon was seven when he saw ripples in the waters of Loch Ness. Over the next weeks, he filled pad after pad of paper with crayon sketches of inky water and a dinosaur-like creature; gripped with the need to know what it was, exactly, that he saw. Tossing around theories of animals, living and extinct alike, did nothing to answer the query. During a skeptical phase two years later, Simon convinced himself that the Loch Ness Monster was nothing but a tree trunk floating on the loch. Moreover,…

Saturday. I wake up startled, thinking I slept in too late, it's 8:00 AM I take a deep breath in a way to relax, I had an hour. Therefore I begin rushing around to log onto my computer and getting all my tabs ready and have my auto check out ready and filled out so I don't have to hassle with filling out basic information. As well as called my bank the previous night to make sure they would accept any payments on my card. They act like I’m crazy, and agree to accept any charges. As a result, I…

The movie Agora depicts the escalating conflict between Christians and pagans in Roman Alexandria in the late fourth century under the emperor Theodosius I. Agora’s attempt to describe the dynamic of the conflict between Christianity and pagan Neoplatonism, especially the violence employed and shifting power, falls short of the true historical complexity by simplifying and distorting the historical narrative. Agora’s portrayal of the Christian faction known as the parabalani and their…

experience firsthand. I had always been fascinated by the parts of the world that have gone nearly untouched. I’m that one adrenaline junkie that you seem to always seem come across. It was spring break of 2015 when my dad had planned our trip to Bonaire, one of the top diving destinations in the world. I was so excited to go to this place under the surface where I could just stop caring about everything else and just focus on the now. About a week or two before hand, I had went to prom and…

activities and other things that I relish. I appreciate various sports including soccer, basketball, golf, and track. School sports I participate in include Cross Country and Track. I play indoor soccer in the winter while I play travel soccer in the spring. I play golf every so often with family and friends as well. I spend as much time as I possibly can hanging out with friends and spending time outside. Outside I spend a frequent amount of time on Raccoon Lake, where I swim, wakeboard, tube,…

It was a just a regular Friday I came home from the bus, changed, and rode my snowmobile. I came in the house and I looked at my phone to see if I had gotten any text messages. It says Jayden texted me. I opened it and it said, “ Do you want to sleepover and go Northern fishing tomorrow morning?” I texted back and said yes. I didn’t know what would happen tomorrow, but it’s going to be fun. When I had gotten to Jayden’s house we played on Xbox for a little bit, then we played hoops with a mini…

grade when my parents got an email asking if I wanted to do traveling softball. I had just finished my first season of VAA softball and my friend Katie and I decided it sounded like fun. I didn't really know what it meant to be on a travelling softball team back then, I just thought it would be as laid back as VAA. My first year I loved it and I had lots of fun and made lots of new friends. I would practice with my dad often so that I could get better. Then I continued with softball all the way…

Service Learning Reflection During my time at New Hope, there was one boy, *Kory, that I drawn to from the beginning. I really don’t know how to explain it but I just felt like I was meant to know him and to help him. He had these sad eyes that seemed to be crying for help. One thing I learned about Kory early on, is that you never know which version of him you are going to get. Some days he would be talkative, rambunctious, and completely lacking self-control, causing him to get in trouble…
