The Next Time

was unfit for a dog, so they presented me with a parrot. Who would want a parrot? All that the haughty thing did was squawk and imitate my gurgling noises, a result of attempts to speak. “Shut up, Jerome,” was a phrase I’ve attempted to say many a time, without success. I must admit, though, I find it quite hilarious when little Jerome makes fun of me with the noises he makes. I cannot say as I enjoy his presence in my room, but at least the hospital gave me a pet with a good sense of humor. I…

was active every day. I used to be able to run around my backyard almost ten times. Running is not something that I am good at anymore due to my poor health behaviors. I get out of breath every time I walk down…

Once upon a time there once was a great generation, then there was us. I’m not saying our generation is that bad but it’s not good either. Now moving on to success, success is not only dealing with money and who has more than one another. Success is us being united as one and be able to deal with what needs to be dealt with. if our generation is to be successful we need to start now. So even us being somewhat losers compared to the older generation. We can always start a whole new legacy. Us…

Ohio State University. I used the word Trump because I believe he may be the president, which not only affects my future, but the future of many. Although it may be a morbid choice, I used it because I will face it at some point in my life. The next word I used is college because it is a goal of mine to be the first person in my family to graduate from college. To piggyback off of my last word choice, I used the words Ohio State because Ohio State University is my first college choice. My…

In the year 3000 the world was beautiful, people everywhere, babies being born, the latest fashion trends are on a role, celebrities in the tabloids and on t.v, but all that was changing within 50 years. More predictions of the world ending happen every 3 to 5 years, like in 2008 they believed the world was going to flood and in 2014 the world was suppose to be destroyed but what they didn’t know was that there was going to be an end to the human society. I am Hailey the year is 3056 I…

“God grant me the serenity, To accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference.” In this Serenity Prayer, I believe the serenity for acceptance, courage, and wisdom is found in the present moment. The present moment is God’s gift where humans can experience true joy. Whether reminiscing or brooding, residing in the past cannot provide the feeling of wholeness. Alternatively, living in the future can only bring anxiety and fear. The…

tear runs down a cheek; it’s my mother, it’s my sister. Stay strong. His bloated stomach moves with the sounds, in and out, out of his control. His flat chest quivers, I can see his heart-beating, I can feel mine. His legs lay motionless for the first time in many years. He was always moving. Moving ships off the coast of Korea and Vietnam. Out of the orphanage, out of poverty. He carried his family across international borders, across state lines, always in the right direction. What do I have…

bag, her teacher, Mr Wilson, engages her in conversation about how early the sky gets dark now that winter is setting in. He is a young-looking thirty-five year old with a full beard and Milo innocently considers his aesthetic beauty for the first time. Before Milo can respond to him, however, her clique gather around her desk. They discuss what they should do that evening and Milo is less than enthusiastic and she pushes past them into the hallway, sending a final glance back to Mr…

became dry, the music was so loud that I felt like I would be deaf the next day. The sound of Alex’s voice, Rian’s drums, Jack’s guitar, and Zack’s bass all filled my ears and made my heart flutter with excitement. All the stupid jokes the band members made throughout the show had me laughing so hard. After they played Something’s Gotta Give, they left the stage. The crowd began chanting “ALL TIME LOW, ALL TIME LOW, ALL TIME LOW”. I knew that they weren’t done, and soon enough, they came back…
