Thank You for Smoking

selves! I finished the end of our conversation by telling him that I spent 30 minutes on the phone with my mom reminding her that my brother is 44 and my sister is 35. My mom can’t do anything about a surgery that my sister has or what my brother is smoking, nor does she owe my brother an explanation for taking any blood pressure medication! I also reminded her that all of this drama is hurting her heart and won’t change anything for the better. I think that they have all gotten overly involved…

caught up in checking him out that I don't realise I'm burning a hole into the kids forehead. "Can I help you?" He asks, giving me a confused look. "If by help you mean suck my dïck, then yea." I smirk, placing a hand on the locker as I lean into him. "You don't even know my name." "Well then what is it sweet cheeks?" "Kellin. You are?" "Calum. Hey, there's a frat party tonight. You should come." I suggest. Kellin shrugs and nods before scooting from under me as the bell rings. I…

Good evening friends, I would like to begin by thanking you all for this prestigious honor. I could not be more proud to be an alumni of such an esteemed university, and it feels so good to be home. I am happy I chose a career that I am passionate about and wanted to make a difference in. When I was told that I had been chosen to receive this award, it made me reminisce all of the advances we were able to make in the public health field. Twenty years ago the field of public health looked much…

I thought. they reminds me of the squirrel for some reason. “That's when you hit the lamp pole, I'm assuming.” He said, reminding me once more about his question. “Right ya, it hit the lamp pole.” I said trailing off…..I was bewildered at why he was out this late at night by himself. By the looks of things I am sure he could take care of himself; but still. He cleared his throat, probably because I was staring. “Do you want to use my phone?” He…

several history teachers that advised the class to NOT major in history if we were planning on going to college. These teachers then proceed to teach their subjects in a very boring way; lecture. These lectures were monotone and hard to follow, and you could obviously tell that these teachers were tired of not only teaching their subject, but teaching in general as well. They made it very clear that they “knew” we did not care about the subject, and that we were only in the class because we had…

forever. Well, at least that’s what it felt like. Most of the time while I was waiting, I just sat around talked with my Mom and Nonna, did cartwheels ( which I got in trouble for doing because it wasn’t “appropriate” to do). But I mean, what else when you supposed to do when ur a 9 year old sitting in a car place for hours with a phone that was almost dead? After a little while, they told us we needed to buy a new rim and tire. I honestly didn’t think it was that bad. But, it was. Finally,…

post. Then, I opened the car door. My aunt began to cry. “I’ve had so many bad dreams about you. I was worried you wouldn’t return,” she said. “I’m alive and well,” I said, “Merry Christmas.” As we went inside the house, Uncle Galway and I carried the…

are already not showing the quality it takes to be a good and effective parent. In the interview with my parents I asked them each “What would you do if you feel like you did not understand why I was a volunteer firefighter?” They both immediately responded with “I wouldn’t feel like I was a good parent to you and that I held you back from doing something you really wanted to do.”(Toni and Ray). But that wasn’t true because they both understood me and what I do and that is why I think they are…

all the way from across the country to take care of her. Her brother and father had patched things up so that they both could be there in her time of loss. My final question to her was how she was handling the loss, most people take to drinking or smoking and I was surprised that she had not. She told me that in his final days, her son had made her promise that she would not spiral down. That she would keep on living. She had kept the promise to her son and tried to keep on going as normally as…
