The Mailbox

years, she had been discretly sending these critical letters to the people of her town, trying to make it a “better place”. She never would’ve thought that one day, it would all get ruined because of a greater force. When putting her letter into the mailbox, like she had done plenty of times, the third letter, “got caught on the edge and fell outside, onto the ground at Miss Strangeworth’s feet.”(Jackson). For some reason, Miss Strangeworth wasn’t paying attention and walked away from her…

The government’s judiciary system is not lacking much in terms of ability and power. More importantly, they have a large impact on any decision the president makes and whether or not it’s constitutional or not. The role of the Supreme Court is to make sure the Government is following its constitution that we do not stray from what our forefathers put in place to make America a free country. The Supreme Court justices are all appointed for life to serve the constitution, justice and to keep the…

connected the cold, metal key to the lock on the mailbox and opened it eagerly. The letter that I had been fervently waiting for sat in the middle of a lofty pile glaring at me. With a deep and unsteady breath, I tore it open. My excitement vanished abruptly and was replaced with distress. I could not believe I had failed; I could not comprehend that I was rejected from the Math and Science Academy. Previously, I sprinted with giddiness to the mailbox, hopeful about the future. But now, the…

Nevertheless, accordingly to noted psychologists Donald Norman, cognitive or motor misinterpretations are possible at every stage of this process (1986). This cognitive failures, as they often called, can lead to situations that include action slips or absent-mindedness. This is something that affects everyone regardless of age.…

a deep breath through my nose and take long, deliberate strides to the end of my driveway. As I reach my black mailbox, I look to my left at the barren streets, illuminated only by the yellow streetlights, and on my right, a dark, menacing hill with one yellow light at the base and a small flickering light at the summit, but the middle left pitch black. I put my hand on the cold mailbox, and I raise my right foot to my butt to stretch out my quadriceps. I feel a tingling sensation in my muscle…

South Carolina Heart recently was taken over by a company called LifePoint. The new organization chart is in the making. My site superior said the new organization chart is going to be over sixty pages! She believes it will be for all the organizations LifePoint is over. I do have an old organizational chart in which the structure is broken down between two sides’ information and currency. The Chief Executive Officer is over both sides.

“The “best decision” may actually be the worst one. Your top choice college may send you head first into a spiraling depression because the only person that could have helped was at the closest community college,” – Anonymous. Hot tears streamed down my cheeks as I cried myself to sleep at three o’clock in the afternoon. I was in the capital of Texas going to one of the best universities in the country for free, but something wasn’t right. I spent nights trying to figure out what to do with my…

Being someone who likes to submit my work on a later date in an attempt to make my work better, I kept refreshing my mailbox hoping to receive an e-mail from the instructor saying the due date had been changed. It was three minutes past three and there was no notification signalling the change . So, I paced into the building to attend a class aptly titled " Technical Writing for Engineers" because it only involved writing that we would use in the real world. (Goodbye rhetoric!) Although almost…
