Sit Down

For my category 1 event, I chose to attend the writing lab. My expectations were high because at orientation I had heard so many great things about it. However, I was expecting all of the wrong things. I expected to sit down one on one with someone who was going to read my paper and help me fix the errors and talk to me about structure and content. The lady I met with did read my paper, but after reading it she just told me that it was good and asked if I needed specific help with any part or…

but I didn’t get as much as an “I’m sorry.” I had to stand as stiff as a soilder in that awful, ugly, hideous red sweater, and I get nothing in return! So I angrily sit down for lunch, getting my sandwich out of its container. I see Sylvia Saldivar and Phyllis Lopez slowly walk toward my table. No,no,no, I think as they sit down next to me. I already know…

In the 1950’s through the 1980’s, two events led to the change of society. These events were “The Sit In Movement” and Roe V. Wade. The Sit In Movement was a nonviolent protest that gained importance during the Civil rights Movements in America in the 1960s. Roe V. Wade was a supreme court case in the United States that was decided in 1973. The decision to legalize abortion or not remains one of the most disputable rulings in the history of the Supreme Court and is still questionable today. On…

and I know the reason the kids is tumbling across the floor. Jack has struck again. He’s the bully of the school and he doesn’t really get into trouble I think it’s because the teachers afraid of him. I walk up to the empty table were nobody sits and I sit down get out my organized lunch box. As I’m about to take out my whole wheat sandwich I hear the table shake, at first I thought it was a earthquake but I realized there’s no earthquakes in Michigan I turn and look and I see Jack. I said in…

I would want to try everything that they have got to offer. I would be open to try anything and everything as far as food, drink, and snack. The main reason I would go there is to just sit on the sand and watch that water. I don't think there could be nothing better than seeing the sun come up, and then going down with the moon coming up. Hawaii would be a beautiful place to relax, and see conditions that you wouldn't see everyday where you're from. As soon as I get there I would want to…

precaution. We had a meeting today about the beast. As always when one of us tries to speak we just get laughed at and told to sit down because we are younger and irrelevant I guess. Today Piggy had to stay with us while the others were searching for the beast somewhere on the island. Piggy is obviously the smartest here but him just like us are put down. He is put down because of how he looks which isn't to fair I’d say.…

Mojos As I went to Mojos I choose to sit outside on the deck for a little while. The deck had three black, steel tables on it with four chairs at each table— which probably was not a smart idea to sit on since it was absolutely hot outside. When I sat down the uttermost elegant flowers caught my eyes . The flowers were vivid and vibrant, making them stand out from everything outdoors. I lingered outside for only about ten more minutes before sweat dribbled down my face, making me feel uneasy.…

chest and the side of my cheek on his back. I can feel Lefty taking in and releasing breaths of air, as the vibrations sooth me into peace. Absorbing Lefty’s essence, blissfully content in his company. Lefty pats my hand with his as he announces, “go sit down, it is time to eat.” I leisurely disconnect from him and trot over to the table to…

A Tradition Passed Down From the day I was able to sit still long enough to sit in the deer stand with my dad, I was nearly always there with him, right by his side like a miniature shadow. The first time I hunted with him, I knew that this would be a sport that would engulf me, and one I would do for a great amount of time. Being able to share this time with my father out in the woods was simply priceless. After 8 years of being able to watch my father hunt, it had become time for me to start…
