Gene was wearing a gym sweat suit with a towel around his throat. It looked terrible but I wouldn’t tell that to his face.

The 1900’s was a hard time for the world to grasp. There were terrible events happening around the world, such as The Holocaust and The Cambodian Killing. Adolf Hitler, born in Austria, 1889, was one of the main, well-known antics of The Holocaust. He showed signs of rebellion at a young age and also left all forms of education in 1905 to pursue his dreams of being a famous artist. His failure at being an artist led him to a state of depression. His state of depression led him to become…

While many will reach to religion to answer these terrible events, the fact is that a lot of us don 't possess the faith needed for this route. It is difficult to put you faith in a god who, at times, could seem to care less about his creations on Earth. Fate isn 't something that we can control and this…

in south California, causing Dory to curse her natural long dark blue locks, which was pulled back in its usual ponytail. It was quiet, too quiet! She slammed her head against the table wondering how she had gotten into this mess. She took the towel to her forehead as she exited the locker room. Another successful practice, with the way this was going they would beat Woodbridge high school in no time! “Dory” Her coach called and she walked through the gym, to get to the junior parking lot…

however, was not an easy one. Even with the troubles of his childhood, being stranded in the ocean, the temptation to temporarily end his suffering early, and the scarring abuse of being targeted at the camps, Louie doesn’t allow himself to throw in the towel, resulting in his spirit remaining unbroken.
