Tammany Hall

hallway, but at the end is the figure of a little girl. The opposite way it is then. Gun at the ready, I try and figure my way out of this maze of an orphanage. I hear laughter behind me. I sneak a look back and see a boy standing at the end of the hall. I…

The hallway is lit by a single light attached to the middle of the popcorn ceiling. There used to be two lights but one bulb flickered and died leaving the hallway dim. The popcorn ceiling is picked off and gone in some spots, mostly around the light and close to the walls. There are also a few tan stains that are darker around the edges and lighter almost white as they go in. The stains might be water stains from who ever lived in the house before. The flooring in the hallway is a worn dark…

“Basically, why are you here? I think.” I asked a final time, and Hugh took a closer look inside the cell at the man, his face rested against the bars. Hugh showed no fear. The man leapt up and took the notepad from the rock. He scurried to the puddle, fiddling for the pencil which lay submerged in the filthy water. I urged him to talk to me. “Ne!” he harked back at me, as best he could. His mood had changed. He pulled his hand away from the puddle clutching the pencil, and he scribbled…

No matter how many positive behavioral programs or steps a school has taken, some areas will always remain a challenge. Those areas, like the cafeteria, hallways, bus gathering areas, and playgrounds, are usually the ones that lack more teacher observation and tasks to direct student behavior. Highland High School, a 9-12 rural school located outside of Columbus, Ohio, and Lacey Elementary, a K-6 urban school, are no exception. While the schools have many areas under control, the hallways at…

It was a ritual that they all went through in her community. You weren’t considered an adult in the eyes of the community until you passed in the ritual. She didn’t know what happened during the ritual but she knew that it was something that they’ve been doing for hundreds of years and no one failed the ritual. She wandered around what she dubbed the Dungeon, she wondering what the purpose of this ritual was. The Dungeon was a long, and dark hallway, the lights were hanging from the ceilings…

I was walking with my friend to class when it happen. Before it happened, I noticed that I had seen no teachers or adults for that matter in the halls. When it happened, there was the sound of a large crash and the whole building shook like there was huge earthquake just under Badger. What happened? At first, I had no idea what happened until I looked out the window then I saw it. A huge glass dome had covered the entire school. Floods of students like moths to light ran outside to see what had…

Jemma Henley walked down the high school’s corridor and turned. After a short walk up the stairs, she was already out of breath. She looked down to see the small box protruding out of her chest that kept her heart rate normal. Walking wasn’t simple for kids like her. Her v-neck t-shirt showed just the top of a scar that ran down her chest. Sighing, she continued her long walk to her classroom. Jemma checked her watch and looked around. Although she had gotten out of class as quickly as…

Situation when I treated unjustly, and how I restored equity. One situation where I thought I was treated unfairly was when I worked at the airport lounge over the summer. It was my first job in the USA, thus I was excited, and tried to give my best effort on my work so that I could learn something. I was younger than all of my co-workers, and I always tried to follow their instructions and helped them whenever they ask for. However, I had some awesome co-workers, but over time I observed some…

As the footsteps got closer and closer William Quirke scanned the room. He took in the scared faces and tense bodies as he tried to think of something to say, something to say that would not only convert the men standing before him but give them hope. Give them hope that one day Ireland would be free and the people of this great country would remember their names for centuries. Finally, William took a deep breath and cleared his voice. One last time he looks at the scared faces surrounding him.…
