Sit Down

I am currently in Miami and I am fortunate enough to sit in on some client interviews. My director on the project is great at making every situation a learning experience. I thought that I would just be taking notes for the next three days because I have little to no clue what is going on or the lingo for…

fellows. This is the life changing experience I’ve been waiting for, I think to myself. This is Freedom Academy. Kids throughout the entire state gather together for a week ran by the National Guard at a real army camp. My shaking leg bounces up and down from not only the excitement, but the nervous feelings in my stomach. I made sure to come extra early to guarantee I did not become one of the last kids filtering in at the final seconds. My fellow classmate Jake and I sat near the front…

the general says. “Plan X, one hour from now. We put him down in three hours.” the President mutters with sadness, I wish we didn’t have to put him through this trauma but it’s for the greater good.” My heart drops to my stomach as I run back to my room… What is this feeling? Is this terror? I sit on my bed it 2:50 now… at 3:50 I will be in some traumatizing simulation that will help me learn how to use my powers. At 5:50 I will be put down to quash the flames of rebellion, doesn’t the…

Rebekah shifted Emilia’s legs out of her lap and scooted around to sit by her head instead. “Sweetheart, wake up so I can get you home.” “J’suis… mmm, I’m awake...” “No, you’re not. Come on, love.” Rebekah helped her sit up, rubbing her back to wake her up a bit. "J 'veux pas..." Emilia curled into Rebekah, burying her face in her neck. "Yeah, I know, you 're worn out. Let 's go home." "Non.…

me up. The stop I went to be picked picked up was by the Montgomery Fair Department Store where I was working at the time. Eventually the bus came for us passengers, and we got right on. I ended up only having one choice for the seat I was going to sit in. It was the seat right behind the white section. As I was getting on the bus, I gave the bus driver some money in order to pay for the seat I sat in. We kept going along the route to…

help calm you down. I leaned back in my seat and knew I only had a few more minutes until we would be at our gate. Then the strangest thing happened, you kind of stared at me as we were landing. Since I had the window seat, I could not figure out if you were looking out the window to try and calm yourself, or if you were looking at me. Nope, you were definitely staring at me. Well, just a few more minutes I thought. You kept losing the color in your face and we kept going further down into our…

He gives an example of how social media help Evan a man who left his smartphone in the back of a taxicab, and with the help of his friend Ivanna he was able to track down his lost phone but also they were able to restore their phone. And for Gladwell that’s the a plus for social media; this shows that social media has some type of power when it comes to bringing closure to people. Also Gladwell knows that social media…

explaining it he was drawing the face strep by step on the board. He tells the students to follow the steps along with him. First they draw an oval outline that tapers down at the bottom. They do this because heads are never drawn circular; they are oval shaped, almost like an egg. Then they follow Mr. Vallario while he is drawing a line down the center of the oval. Then he cuts the oval in half again, this time by drawing a line horizontally across the oval. After that the class followed Mr.…

Civil disobedience is a heartfelt endeavor that puts someone's own life at risk to be of service to others, in this case Antigone is sacrificing her safety in order to pay respect to her fallen brother: “Go to what you please. I go to bury him. How beautiful to die in such pursuit!” (Roche 194). Antigone’s civil disobedience is just one example of the many committed and just like Antigone, Julia Butterfly Hill also stood up for what she believed in. According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary,…

God intended it to be. In my and my grandmothers opinion there should have never been segregated buses, restaurants, bathrooms, or water fountains. Everyone is created equally and no one has the right to tell another person they are not worthy to sit in a public facility. I am thankful that we don’t have to go through the same issues the people had to go through during the Civil Rights Movement. I am thankful that we now live in a world where everyone is truly created…
