Nets to Lives Humans often take their own lives for granted; never thinking too much of those who may be less fortunate. We go about our daily lives worried about celebrities, or sports; rather than food or uncontrolled diseases in our country. Many others do not get that luxury. Rick Reilly writes his article, “Nothing But Nets,” on the back page of popular sports magazine, Sports Illustrated, to request money from his audience, so that mosquito nets may be purchased for African countries.…

West states, “When you’re so focused on what you don’t have…you won’t have.” Since reading this I have learned how to not let my wanting something get in the way of what I already have. I began to make a budget each and every month; if I couldn’t afford something that month, it would have to wait until the next…

“Aahhhh”, a scream came from the upstairs. I quickly ran up the stairs. I heard two more on my way up. I swung the attic door wide open to see Dana stabbing Mas Ruf. In amazement, not knowing what to do or what was going on, watching her stab Rufus two more times I said, “Dana!

they wouldn’t dare put a label on him. Despite his extra chromosome, he is normal, but most importantly, he is special.
